Concern

Brake and tail lights may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

Water ingress may occur in to the harness which can cause corrosion inside the brake light switch. Continued use in this condition can cause a short circuit to occur in the internal circuit of the brake switch. In the worst case the fuse could melt causing the brake and tail lamps not to activate.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the brake light switch.

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.
