I wish you all would stop saying recall, it was a STOP DRIVING notice, for most CX owners their cars were off the road for at least three / four months.
.
Under the terminology used by The DVLA in their Guidance notes in the Link given by Haytop a Stop Driving Notice is a category of recall that is more onerous than a Safety Recall.
Action Risk type Safety Recall (stop drive) The definition of a safety defect is met, and there is an immediate threat to safety so the vehicle must not be driven Safety Recall The definition of a safety defect is met, but the threat is not immediate or can be mitigated with ‘reasonable’ consumer action Consumer / Garage Warning The definition of a safety defect is met, but can be adequately mitigated through vehicle maintenance or similar checks. May be used with a recall Amendment to maintenance or servicing requirements Used where a ‘reasonable’ change to maintenance or servicing requirements can detect a potential problem and avoid the defect. Not usually used in isolation due to communication challenges
That was also my reading of the directive. I was surprised to hear people still choosing to drive their vehicles putting themselves AND others at risk...
