Concern

Airbag inflator body may rupture during deployment

Defect, as DVSA words it

In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. As a result the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing severe injury to the rider.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected machines replace the airbag assembly.

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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
