Concern

Cracking around king pin retaining weld

Defect, as DVSA words it

Maintenance inspections have revealed cracking around the periphery of the weld retaining the king pin to the upper coupler apron plate on specified trailers.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Depending on the condition of the coupling on inspection it will either be reworked by the addition of stiffer plates or by the replacement of the welded-in king pin by a bolt-in king pin.

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.
