THE ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE MAY BE RELEASED WHILE THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS BEING RELEASED
The electro-mechanical park brake may be released inappropriately.
The software for the brake control will be updated.
POSSIBLE OIL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR AT THE GEARBOX BREATHER
it is possible that oil leakage may occur at the gearbox breather when the vehicle is being driven on a racetrack and extreme driving manoeuvres are being undertaken. As a result smoke may be produced and a vehicle fire cannot be ruled out.
On the vehicles affected the single breather pipe for the gearbox breather system must be replaced by a dual breather pipe.
REAR BRAKE PISTONS COATED INCORRECTLY
The rear brake pistons may have been coated incorrectly potentially causing the brake pedal travel to increase under braking and the effectiveness of the rear brakes to be reduced. Gas bubbles may form in the hydraulic system on the rear brake circuit under certain conditions as a function of temperature and time. In the event of a fault only the rear brake circuit will be affected. As a result the vehicle may take significantly longer to stop.
The rear brake hydraulic system (rear left and rear right brake calipers) must be bled on the affected vehicles.
RISK OF OVERHEATING AND FAILURE OF ADDITIONAL COOLANT PUMP
On affected vehicles moisture may enter the electronic components and cause overheating and failure of the additional coolant pump. localised smoulder damage cannot be ruled out and in individual cases may cause vehicle to catch fire.
The additional coolant pump must be replaced and in addition a software update of the engine control unit must be carried out

If the permanent current supply to the starter motor is not noticed overheating of the component with local scorching damage and a vehicle fire is possible.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the solenoid switch.
AUXILLIARY HEATER ELEMENT IN AIR CONDITIONING MAY FAIL AND/OR OVERHEAT
The auxiliary heater element in the air conditioner may fail as the result of overheating in the area of the connectors. This can lead to smoulder damage or potentially a fire.
