The relevant words from the DVSA governing recalls are as follows
The general product safety regulations 2005 states that where a producer or distributor knows that a product it has placed on the market or supplied poses risks to the consumer, that are incompatible with the general safety requirements, it will immediately notify an enforcement authority in writing.
“A safety related defect is a failure due to design and/or construction, which is likely to affect the safe operation of the product/aftermarket part without prior warning to the user and may pose a significant risk to the driver, occupants and others. This defect will be common to a number of products/aftermarket parts that have been sold for use in the United Kingdom” If such a defect occurred it could cause significant risk of serious injury or death and cannot normally be identified by routine maintenance or obvious changes to the normal handling or performance of the vehicle that the driver continues to ignore. It is a sudden and catastrophic failure of a component that occurs with little or no warning to the driver to enable preventative action to be taken.
Well as I read that statement there is no ambiguity in it whatsoever.
That kind'a nails it....
