Concern

Oil leakage may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that frequent short trip usage at low ambient temperatures causes condensation in the engine oil this condenses at the outlet port of the oil-tank breather. If temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius this may cause condesate to freeze and block the breather line to the oil tank. The engine's lubrication system configuration means that the suction pump's oil delivery rate is higher than that of the delivery pump consequently the over pressure produced can cause the oil tank to rupture allowing oil to escape and contaminate the rear tyre.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have the oil tank cap replaced.

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.
