Concern

The bonding of the type label and/or noise sign is not process-reliable

Defect, as DVSA words it

The bonding of the type label and/or the noise sign is not process-reliable.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The type plate and the noise sign are to be replaced.

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.
