Concern

Possible failure of grab rail

Defect, as DVSA words it

The fixing bracket portion of the Pillion Passenger Grab Handle may not have enough strength and if excessive force is applied to this area such as using the Grab Handle to lift or drag the motorcycle the Grab Handle could break or partially fail at this point. This in turn could lead to the complete failure of the Grab Handle during sudden hard braking with a pillion passenger.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected machines and fit a modified grab handle.

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.
