Concern

Brakes may seize on

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the front brake lever rocker may have been fitted with components which are significantly out of line. In the worst case this could result in the brake lever becoming seized in the brake applied position thus preventing the front brakes from being released. With the potential for an accident to occur.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will be fitted with a replacement rocker or the front brake lever.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
