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 926–950 of 1,008 recalls.
DIESEL FUEL MAY DILUTE ENGINE OIL
A brass plug in the fuel injector body may come loose. If this happens diesel fuel will dilute engine oil. An increase in exhaust smoke may occur. There is also a possibility that oil and fuel would vent through the breather pipe to atmosphere.
Recall affected vehicles and check or replace fuel injectors.
BRAKE BACKPLATE MAY BECOME INSECURE
The studs that secure the front brake backplate to the front axle may not have gone through the hardening process. This means the studs are soft and could crack causing the brake backplates to loosen from the front axle.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the studs with quality assured fixings.
PARKING BRAKE MAY INADVERTENTLY BE ACTIVATED
The non-return valve on the 4-way protection valve has been fitted in the wrong position. If there is a large leak in the main brake air feed circuit to the trailer brakes all air pressure will be lost in the parking brake circuit. The parking brake will then be activated therein locking the rear wheels on the tractor unit.
Recall affected vehicles and remove the non-return valve from the inlet side to the outlet side of the 4-way protection valve.
THE INJECTOR PUMP DELIVERY VALVE RETAINERS MAY FRACTURE RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKAGE
The fuel delivery valve retainers may fracture. This may result in fuel mist being emitted in to the engine compartment and presenting a fire risk
Recall all affected vehicles for the fitment of quality controlled delivery valve retainers
BRAKE CALIPER CONCERN
Some front brake calipers on the affected vehicles may have been manufactured using an incorrect material and may crack and leak under heavy load.
Recall potentially affected vehicles and replace all front brake calipers that are found to be in the suspect range.

Recall potentially affected vehicles and replace all front brake calipers that are found to be in the suspect range.
PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MAY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY
Possibility that passenger side air bag may be sensitive to electrostatic discharge and may inadvertently deploy.
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional grounding wire to electrical system.
PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MAY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY
Possibility that passenger side air bag may be sensitive to electrostatic discharge and may inadvertently deploy.
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional grounding wire to electrical system.
PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MAY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY
Possibility that passenger side air bag may be sensitive to electrostatic discharge and may inadvertently deploy.
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional grounding wire to electrical system.
HEADLAMPS MAY FAIL TO OPERATE
The master lighting switch on the instrument panel may cease functioning. In such cases the headlamps may fail to operate.
Recall affected vehicles and replace switch with quality assured unit.
POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
Vehicles may have incorrect routing of the B+ wire adjacent to the injection pump possibly resulting in a short circuit.
All vehicles will be recalled through the Volvo Network for the B+ cable to be rerouted.
POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE OIL SPILLAGE
Incidents have occurred where Bosch unit injectors built within a certain period can leak fuel into the engine lubrication system leading to the spillage of engine oil onto the roadway.
Likely to be affected vehicles to be recalled for checking and where necessary fit quality assured units.
POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE OIL SPILLAGE
Incidents have occurred where Bosch unit injectors built within a certain period can leak fuel into the engine lubrication system leading to the spillage of engine oil onto the roadway.
Likely to be affected vehicles to be recalled for checking and where necessary fit quality assured units.
POSSIBLE RISK OF FUEL AND ENGINE OIL LEAKING ONTO ROAD SURFACE
Seal between fuel injector and cylinder head may have been incorrectly fitted. This could result in fuel dilution of the engine oil and subsequent spillage onto the road surface.
Recall affected vehicles and fit new cylinder head to injector seals where necessary.
STEERING ARM MAY FRACTURE
Upper steering arm may fracture where bolted to stub axle. (Left hand drive vehicles only)
Recall affected vehicles and replace the upper steering arm with a quality assured unit.
STEERING ARM MAY FRACTURE
Upper steering arm may fracture where bolted to stub axle. (Left hand drive vehicles only)
Recall affected vehicles and replace the upper steering arm with a quality assured unit.
POSSIBILITY OF INCORRECT MESHING OF STEERING ANGLE GEARS
Steering angle gears may not be correctly meshed which may result in a possible loss of steering control.
Recall affected vehicles check steering angle gear input and output shafts for axial looseness and renew where necessary.
POSSIBILITY OF INCORRECT MESHING OF STEERING ANGLE GEARS
Steering angle gears may not be correctly meshed which may result in a possible loss of steering control.
Recall affected vehicles check steering angle gear input and output shafts for axial looseness and renew where necessary.
POSSIBILITY OF INCORRECT MESHING OF STEERING ANGLE GEARS
Steering angle gears may not be correctly meshed which may result in a possible loss of steering control.
Recall affected vehicles check steering angle gear input and output shafts for axial looseness and renew where necessary.
LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
Heat transmitted from the turbocharger may adversely affect the rubber membrane in the brake servo unit. This could result in loss of brake vacuum assistance and increase the pedal effort and stopping distance when the brakes are applied.
The affected vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the brake servo unit and the installation of a heat shield between the servo unit and the turbocharger.
LEAKAGE OF FUEL
A particular batch of injectors may be of poor quality and allow fuel to leak on to the engine with a subsequent risk of fire.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the subject injectors replaced with quality assured units.

STEERING BALL JOINT TORQUE
On some vehicles the bolts in the joint of the steering gear shafts may not be correctly torqued.
All potentially affected vehicles are being recalled to have the torque on all the bolts in the four joints in the steering shaft checked and where necessary tightened to the manufacturer's specification.
