10/03/2024 11:12 PM

Ateco Automotive has recalled 932 examples of the 2021 to 2024 LDV Deliver 9 bus, citing an error with the vehicle specification sheet on the LDV website. 

The affected vehicles are stamped 2021 to 2024 models.

The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "The vehicle specification sheet obtained from the LDV website may have provided incorrect information in relation to gross vehicle mass, axle capacities, payload and towing capacities. 

"If the driver attempts to tow a load higher than the approved maximum weight, this could result in increased braking distances and/or reduced braking performance. 

"This could also result in reduced steering response which may lead to the vehicle to rollover.

"A reduction or a loss in braking performance, a reduced steering response and/or vehicle rollover could result in a serious accident to the vehicle occupants or other road users that can lead to severe injury or death.

A full list of vehicle identification numbers for the 15 vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.

Ateco Automotive notes it has updated the LDV website with the correct information, while the specifications listed in the owner's manual and build plate provided with each vehicle are correct. 

Affected owners are advised to discard any specification sheets obtained from the LDV Automotive website and only use the owner's handbook and data on the build plate. For more information, find your closest LDV dealership by clicking here.
