Concern

Possible lock-up of transmission

Defect, as DVSA words it

Abnormal wear within the gearbox may result in a broken retaining circlip which could cause the transmission to lock up. This could result in the rider loosing control of the machine.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace the affected gearbox components with new modified parts.

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.
