Concern

Rear shock absorber may fail causing loss of control of the machine

Defect, as DVSA words it

The rear suspension unit has a possible assembly defect in that the piston-shaft nut has in some cases not been correctly tightened. If a defective suspension unit is fitted there could be an oil leak or a loss of damping control which can adversely affect the handling of the machine.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The owner is given a web-address to follow and access the necessary information to acertain if the shock absorber is definately affected and what to do if it is in the affected range. If your shock absorber is affected by the recall please contact the �hlins distributor in your country for an appointment to have your shock absorber corrected.

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.

The same concern: REAR SHOCK ABSORBER MAY FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MACHINE

4 notices in this register name REAR SHOCK ABSORBER MAY FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MACHINE. 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.
