Concern

Frame welds do not meet manufacturers specification

Defect, as DVSA words it

Some of the frame welds are not to the manufacturers specification which in could lead to cracking of the affected welded joints. In the worst case the welded area could break resulting in rear suspension or lower cross member separation.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected. Any repairs will consist will consist of reinforcement of the welds where it is identified during the initial inspection that the weld bead shape is incorrect. A new counter-measure frame will be installed if it is identified that a reinforcement weld cannot be applied.

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.
