Concern

Potential for failure of foot brake valve

Defect, as DVSA words it

In extreme cases overlapping of tolerances in conjunction with wear can potentially cause the bushing of the Foot Brake Valve (FBV) to move from its correct position. When this potential malfunction occurs it may not be possible to use the FBV to brake the vehicle.. However it is possible to use the handbrake instead to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

To recall the affected components and replace them with quality assured components.

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.
