DVLA recall archive
The archive holds 15,570 DVLA vehicle safety recalls dating back to 1992. Filter by manufacturer, year, or keyword. To check whether a specific vehicle is affected by an outstanding recall, run a live VRM recall check for £1.99.
Showing 151–167 of 167 recalls.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
Under severe and extreme conditions where the vehicle is used mainly off-road in a wet muddy environment it is possible that the tapered section of the ball pin on the steering Pitman arm may break. This in the worst case could result in a loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the Pitman arm with a quality assured component.
ENGINE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY CONCERN
The crankshaft pulley may become loose causing a rattling noise from the engine battery warning light to come on and a high steering effort will be noticed.
All recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft pulley bolt tightened to the correct specified torque.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER ASSISTANCE TO BRAKES
There is a possibility that the accumulator diaphragm in the Hydraulic Brake Booster (HBB) might be manufactured improperly. This may cause the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator to drop. The following two symptoms may result :- 1) The brake assist might be delayed in sudden hard braking. 2) Relatively large brake pedal loads might be required after long-term parking and first engine start since specific brake pressure takes time to accumulate.
The Hydraulic Brake Booster nitrogen accumulator will be replaced with a modified one on all affected vehicles.
POSSIBLE CRACKING OF FUEL TANK AND CHECK VALVE.
There is a possibility that the fuel tank upper panel may suffer from fatigue failure due to repeated stress caused by the fuel tank breathing. In addition the Spacerunners will be checked for cracks on the check valve due to interference with the cross member.
If any cracks are apparent the fuel tank will be replaced if no crack is visible a reinforcement plate will be fitted the check valve will be re-located.

ACTIVE YAW CONTROL ECU CONCERN
The Active Yaw Control ECU may be incorrectly programmed which may cause the clutches in the torque transfer differential to remain disengaged when the engine starts. This could result in damage to the rear axle differential.
Recall potentially affected vehicles and replace the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
SUSPENSION LOWER ARM BALL JOINT MAY SUFFER PREMATURE WEAR
There is a possibility that due to water and dirt ingress into the lower arm ball joint the ball stud and joint case may suffer from premature wear. In the worst case the ball stud may come out of the ball joint case.
Recall affected vehicles inspect the lateral lower arm ball joints and replace if free play exceeds manufacturers specification.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
Under severe and extreme conditions where the vehicle is used mainly off-road in a wet muddy environment it is possible that the tapered section of the ball pin on the steering 'Pitman arm' may break. This in the worst case could result in a loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and replacing the Pitman arm with a quality assured component.
FUEL TANK MAY CRACK AND LEAK
There is a possibility that the fuel tank may be incorrectly welded on its upper panel and baffle plate in the tank causing it to crack on the welded position. In the worst case this may cause the fuel tank to leak fuel.
Inspect the vehicles replace the fuel tanks if leaking and in cases where no abnormality is found apply a protector plate.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE ENGINE MAY STOP WHEN DRIVING
There is a possibility that a condenser may become detached from the circuit board due to the breakage of the component wiring. The engine may stop or be difficult to start.
Recall affected vehicles and apply silicone to the condenser to act as a vibration damper to counteract shocks that can be transmitted from the suspension through the body to the circuit board.
POTENTIAL DETACHMENT OF CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
The Crankshaft Pulley securing bolt may not have been correctly torqued. The bolt may loosen or break and in the worst case result in detachment of the pulley.
All engines up to engine number YD2145 - remove pulley securing bolt increase the depth of the thread in the Crankshaft by 5 mm. Check bolt for damage and renew if necessary. Lubricate threads refit and tighten to specified torque. Engines numbered from YD2146 onwards - remove pulley securing bolt examine for damage and renew if necessary lubricate threads refit and tighten to specified torque.
FRONT FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE
Brake fluid may seep from the front flexible brake hoses impairing the efficiency of one or both braking circuits.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of both front flexible brake hoses.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The nipple for the brake booster vacuum hose may become choked due to adhesion and accumulation of combustion products from the engine. This may cause in the worst case reduced braking efficiency after operating the brake pedal several times in a short period.
Recall affected vehicles to relocate nipple from intake manifold to resonator to avoid accumulation of combustion products.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The nipple for the brake booster vacuum hose may become choked due to adhesion and accumulation of combustion products from the engine. This may cause in the worst case reduced braking efficiency after operating the brake pedal several times in a short period.
Recall affected vehicles to relocate nipple from intake manifold to resonator to avoid accumulation of combustion products.
BRAKES MAY BIND
There is a possibility that due to insufficient lubrication the parking brake cable might not fully return when released. This may cause the brakes to bind.
Recall affected vehicles and replace parking brake cables with modified type.
LOSS OF BRAKING SYSTEM VACUUM ASSISTANCE
The brake booster vacuum hose check valve may stick and cause a loss of vacuum to the brake booster. This will result in greatly increased brake pedal effort and increased stopping distances.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to have the brake booster vacuum hose replaced with a quality assured unit.
FRONT BRAKE HOSES MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED DURING ASSEMBLY
It is possible that installation of the front brake hoses has not been correctly carried out during initial assembly.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of replacement brake hoses.
