Concern

Window may detach

Defect, as DVSA words it

The two panes of glazing that make up the window may separate as a result of UV degradation. The separation takes about two years to progress to failure after the separation has started. In the worst case a separated pane could come loose from the unit.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the units that are likely to be affected to repair the windows by fixing them together with a specially developed screw material. If the owner requires new improved windows can be purchased at a reduced price.

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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Read from DVSA's bulk recalls file (RecallsFile.csv, 7 MB) on 17 September 2026; this recall first read on 4 September 2026, read 15 times since. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: DVSA, Check vehicle recalls. CarsMultiverse is an independent site, not an authority: the official notice is the one on the DVSA service.

The same concern: WINDOW MAY DETACH

5 notices in this register name WINDOW MAY DETACH. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
