Concern

Poor welding causing foot bracket to break

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been established that the welding on the foot bracket of the shock absorber is not to specification. This can result in the failure/detachment of the foot bracket which could cause loss of control of the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles to check the shock absorber and if found to be one of the affected unit then replace the unit with a quality assured item.

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.
