Concern

Possible loss of tyre pressure from front and rear tyres

Defect, as DVSA words it

The tyre valve nut on the front and rear wheels can crack from a combination of stress and corrosion. Because the affected units are fitted tubeless tyres cracking of the nut can lead to a reduction of tyre pressure. This could adversely affect the handling and performance of the vehicle and may create a risk of an accident possibly resulting in personal injury.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Fit replacement tyre valve nuts of increased size and improved material. Replace washer beneath the valve nut with one of improved material.

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 the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
