Concern

Unindented application of the brakes

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that in some cases overlapping of tolerances has the potential to make the black button of the PREV to stick in the pushed-in position when the trailer is coupled to the tractor unit. When this malfunction occurs the red warning lamp or signal for the trailer braking system on the dashboard of the truck will alert the driver that the reservoir air pressure in the trailer is dropping below 4.5 Bar. If this pressure falls below 2.5 Bar this will cause unintended braking of the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

To address the concern Wabco under the terms of the Code will contact customers who will be provided with a valve repair kit.

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.
