VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
Due to a communication error between the Engine Control Module (ECM) software and the Transmission Control Module (TCM) the transmission park pawl may not engage. In certain circumstances such as when the park brake is not applied the vehicle may roll away.
On affected vehicles update the software for the Transmission Control Module.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INCORRECTLY SET
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on the affected vehicles was calibrated incorrectly and as a result does not illuminate the low tyre pressure warning tell-tale at the required minimum activation pressure.
Recalibrate the TPMS on affected vehicles.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTOR MAY LEAK
A hydraulic connector may fail and cause a transmission oil leak. This may have an adverse effect on gear selection.
On affected vehicles replace the clutch pipe connector assembly related brackets and parts
TRANSMISSION CAN CHANGE GEAR WITHOUT CONTROL FROM DRIVER
As part of a software update the stored adjustment settings for the automatic clutch were not deleted and re-taught. These stored settings are incompatible with the updated software and can result in incorrect operation in certain circumstances. This may adversely affect gear changes including uncommanded selection of neutral. If neutral is selected manual gear selection will be available.
On affected vehicles the clutch software will be re-installed and the system re-taught.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTOR MAY LEAK
A hydraulic connector may fail and cause a transmission oil leak. This may have an adverse effect on gear selection.
Add a support bracket which will be installed to hold the pipe securely in position and prevent movement of the assembly.
RISK OF SHORT-CIRCUIT IN BATTERY SUPPLY CABLE
On affected vehicles the right fron seat can compress the battery supply cable. Prolonged occurences coulld cause damage to the insulation and the cable may short out
Fit new cable guide to reroute supply cable. Check condition of supply cable and where necessary reinforce insulation . In rare instances the cable may require replacement.

SEAT MAY OVERHEAT
On affected vehicles The control module for the front heated seats mail fail and when the ignition is switched on allow a permanent feed to the heater element(s). In this condition it may not be possible to switch off the heater element and over a period of time this may cause a seat to overheat and smouldering to occur. Occupants will notice an inability to switch the seat heater off using the designated switch and over longer periods a higher than normal temperature of the seat squab.
Fit additional seat heater monitoring modules. Where necessary seat elements may also be replaced.

INTERMITTENT FAULT WITH TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCHES
On affected vehicles the transmission switches have a chrome plating surround. This can interact with the printed circuit board within the switches and create an intermittent earth path to other surrounding parts In the subject vehicles this can cause the transmission to default to neutral without any driver input for gear selection resulting in a loss drive.
Replace existing switches with updated version. Brakes and steering are not affected.

THROTTLE PEDAL MAY FAIL
The throttle pedal may fail resulting in the driver being unable to accelerate or maintain speed. The throttle pedal arm on the affected vehicles is not to specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the throttle pedal with one of the correct specification.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been established that the Tyre Pressure Management System (TPMS) ECU had been installed with incorrect specification software for the front axle. The software allows for a greater tyre pressure difference between tyres on the front axle. If this occurs it could in extreme circumstances affect the stability and directional control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and install the correct software.
STEERING MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been established that the front suspension bottom suspension arm cam-bolt may be out of specification. It is possible that these bolts could crack and fail. This could in extreme cases affect the directional control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the cam-bolt.

Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the cam-bolt.
STEERING RESPONSE MAY BE INCORRECT
It has been identified that during the build process of the subject vehicles a safety critical action to check the torque of the front sub frame assembly bolts was omitted. Should the situation be ignored the driver would become aware of an unusual steering response.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts inspected to ascertain whether they have been paint marked to indicate that the torque has been checked during production. Should this not be the case the bolts will be re-torqued.
