Concern
Defect, as DVSA words it
Remedy, as DVSA words it
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.

Buell XB12X in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Buell XB12X is named on 4 Canadian notices and 1 Japanese. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The Canadian register
The Japanese register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

The same concern: ENGINE MAY CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING
2 notices in this register name ENGINE MAY CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.
Reading this against the source
This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
