Concern

Rear wheel may lock

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that due to oil starvation caused by incorrect tolerances third gear may seize on the gear box main shaft. Should this occur the possibility exists that the rear wheel could lock whilst the machine was being ridden.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have 3rd and 4th gears replaced additionally the gearbox main shaft.

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.
