Concern

Engine performance may be affected

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the use of a faulty tool during engine assembly has led to isolated incidents of damage to the spark plugs. When the engine is in use the insulator of the central electrode may become displaced and contact he ground electrode. Should this occur it will have a detriment effect on engine performance.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have the suspect spark plugs 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.
