Concern

Possible loss of control

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that a fracture may develop in the area of the rear shock absorber lower mounting boss. In extreme cases this may cause the component to break potentially causing the rear suspension to collapse resulting in loss of control.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will be fitted with a modified shock absorber.

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.
