Concern

Possibility of fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the possibility exists that the battery positive lead may contact a weld bead on the oil tank. This may cause the weld bead to abrade the insulation on the cable and cause an electrical short circuit from the battery through the oil tank and oil lines. This could lead to an oil leak and or the possibility of a fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have a battery caddy installed that will protect the cable and ensure correct routing.

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.
