Concern

Brake discs may become insecure

Defect, as DVSA words it

In later models the bolts retaining the front brake disc may not remain secure for their service life. In earlier models the head of the bolts may damage the speed sensor cable when the machine is ridden.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to 1. (earlier models) fit new threaded fasteners to the brake disc and alter the speed sensor cable routing. 2. (later models) alter the speed sensor cable 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 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.
