Concern

Bond between brake pad material and backing plate may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

A) There is a possibility that the bond between the brake pad material and its backing plate on the original/standard front brake pad may become weakened due to corrosion and eventually may fail with a possible loss of braking ability from the front brake

Remedy, as DVSA words it

A) Recall affected machines and replace front brake pads with a modified type.

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.
