Concern

Ball joint may not be secure

Defect, as DVSA words it

A small batch of wishbones may have been manufactured with out a ball joint secondary securing clip. This may allow the ball joint to dislocate from its location. The ball joint is unlikely to separate but without the securing clip ball joint dislocation could have an affect on the steering.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected wishbones and replace with a new version which will have the secondary securing clip.

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.
