Concern

Rear wheel may lock up

Defect, as DVSA words it

The rear sprocket can work loose resulting in sprocket and chain jamming between the rear wheel and the swinging arm. This could result in the rear wheel skidding and possible loss of control.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have the existing socket head screws replaced with longer hexagon bolts and secured in position with a lock ring.

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.
