Concern

Shorting of starter relay

Defect, as DVSA words it

An internal short circuit may occur in the starter relay. This could generate sufficient heat to constitute a fire risk.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected machines and replace the original relay with a version incorporating improved sealing properties. At the same time the relay will be repositioned to render it less liable to the ingress of moisture.

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.
