Concern

The rear braking system has a defect which can cause a loss of braking when the rear brake is applied

Defect, as DVSA words it

The rear braking system has a defect which can cause a loss of braking when the rear brake is applied.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check the rear brake performance. Bleed brakes to release any trapped air in the system or replace the rear brake master cylinder if necessary.

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.
