Concern

Possible frame failure

Defect, as DVSA words it

Fractures have been found in the front frame bolster area near the support legs and around the rear cross member of the upper coupler.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Operators of likely to affected trailers will be contacted and instructed to inspect designated areas of the 20 foot position bolster for weld failure. Should a failure be identified the trailer should be taken out of service with immediate effect. The trailer should not be put back into service until modified by the manufacturer.

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.
