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 11776–11800 of 15,570 recalls.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
It has been identified that during the manufacturing process cracks may have formed in the area of the brake disc body. Subsequent surface treatment means that any such crack will not be detectable at a later date. Should a crack have formed this may cause the brake disc to fail whilst the vehicle is in motion causing the affected brake to become inoperative.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear axle brake discs checked for the affected production date. The brake discs will be checked if necessary.

UNDER FLOOR /REAR CROSS MEMBER BRAKE PIPE CORROSION
It has been identified that a touch condition can exist between the rear under floor brake pipes rear cross member brake pipe and their unions and a noise vibration harshness pad. Where this condition existswater and detritus can collect and be held in contact causing the corrosion protection to abrade. This can lead in time to brake fluid leakage increased brake pedal travel and in some cases reduced or loss of service brake performance.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject brake pipes inspected. Those displaying red rust on the pipes or unions will be replaced.
SIDEWALL MAY SEPARATE
Under extreme conditions cracking may occur in the sidewall of the tyre which if left could develop into sidewall separation and ultimately tyre failure.
Recall the tyres that are likely to be affected to replace them with quality assured units.

LACK OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
It has been identified that after the vehicle has been stationary for some length of time increased pressure may need to be applied to the footbrake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop. This is due to insufficient vacuum assistance within the brake booster due to a failure of the check valve. It should be noted that on the second application of the footbrake the check valve will operate as designed and the brakes will operate as normal.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake booster check valve replaced.
STOP LIGHTS MAY NOT OPERATE/EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD MAY DETACH
1) It has been identified that as the result of the manufacturing process silicon grease may have contaminated the stop lamp switch contacts. This can result in oxidation of the contacts and prevent the stop lamps operating when the footbrake is applied. 2) It has also been identified that during high speed driving high stresses are generated around the exhaust muffler heat shield which in the worst case scenario can cause the shield to detach from the vehicle.
Recalled vehicles will have the stop lamp switch replaced. Additionally on petrol engined vehicles the exhaust muffler heat shield will be replaced with one of a modified design.
STOP LIGHTS MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

ROOF LIGHT IN OVERHEAD CAB MAY BECOME DETACHED
It has been identified that the possibility exists that some of the screws which secure the rooflight may not have been tightened correctly. This in the worst case scenario may result in the roof light becoming detached.
Recalled vehicles will have the rooflight securing screws checked and the correct torque applied. Where necessary the rooflight will be replaced.

EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD MAY DETACH
It has been identified that during high speed driving high stresses are generated around the exhaust muffler heat shield which in the worst case scenario can cause the shield to detach from the vehicle
Recalled petrol engined vehicles will have the heat shield replaced with one of a modified design. Whereas on diesel engined vehicles testing has shown that the heat shield is not required therefore it will be removed.
FRONT BRAKE AND FENDER ASSEMBLY MAY BECOME INSECURE
It has been identified thatdue to the possibility of an acorn stud at the brake reaction link detaching during use. The front brake and fender assembly would no longer be adequately retained.
Recalled machines will have the subject acorn stud and retaining clip replaced.
LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE RESULTING IN ENGINE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING.
It has been identified that the fuel pump pressure regulator may detach from it's spigot within the fuel pump in conditions of high ambient temperature. Should this occur the vehicle would suffer loss of fuel pressure causing the engine to stall with no warning being given to the driver.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel pump replaced.

Recalled machines will have the subject acorn stud and retaining clip replaced.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY BECOME LOOSE
It has been identified that the brake pedal mounting shaft may not be fully engaged in it's retaining nut. Should this be the case the brake pedal may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject nut replaced.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY BECOME LOOSE
It has been identified that the brake pedal mounting shaft may not be fully engaged in it's retaining nut. Should this be the case the brake pedal may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject nut replaced.

It has been identified that the brake pedal mounting shaft may not be fully engaged in it's retaining nut. Should this be the case the brake pedal may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject nut replaced.
SPARE WHEEL CARRIER HEAT SHIELD COULD BECOME DETACHED
The heat shield protecting the spare wheel and carrier may detach because of the vibrations it is subjected to.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the heat shield or where necessary replace the spare wheel carrier which incorporates the heat shield.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that due to a fault with the previous recall to perform an engine ECU flash upgrade engine damage could occur as a result of piston cracking. As a consequence and in the worst case oil may enter the engine compartment where it could come into contact with hot engine parts which may result in a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject ECU loaded with modified software.
PARKING BRAKE MAYBE INEFFECTIVE
If the auto reverse is engaged and the parking brake applied the parking brake might not be effective and the trailer roll away. The defect is attributable to an incorrect specification parking brake lever being fitted to some trailers.
Recall the trailers that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary either replace or modify the parking brake lever.
FRONT SIDE AIRBAG OR SEAT BELT TENSIONER MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
It has been identified that due to faulty crimping of the component parts of the airbag wiring harness and seat belt tensioner the side airbag or seatbelt tensioner may not trigger in the vent of a collision.
Recalled vehicles will have the harness checked and repaired as necessary.
