AUXILLIARY HEATER ELEMENT IN AIR CONDITIONING MAY FAIL AND/OR OVERHEAT
The auxilliary heater element in the air conditioner may fail as a result of overheating in the area of the connectors in conjunction with smoulder damage or potential fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit an auxilliary heater element with opimised electrical connectors. The activation of the electric auxilliary heater must be adjusted by updating the software for the air conditioning control console.

REAR HUB CARRIERS NOT MANUFACTURED TO CORRECT STANDARD
The hardening process for the rear wheel bearing housings may not have been correctly performed. In the worst case this could lead to a fractured housing. Should a fractured housing occur there would be abnormal noises bad tyre wear and a theoretical possibility of wheel loss.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right and left rear wheel bearing housings.

BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL WHEN THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE IS OPERATED
Due to a software error the brake lights may not function during an emergency operation of the electronic parking brake. The normal foundation brake lights will still function as intended.
On affected vehicles update software to correct this.
ABS/ESC SYSTEM MAY FAIL
On vehicles with ABS/ESC the earth connection may be interrupted. This may cause failure of the ABS/ESC system.
On affected vehicles install new software. Where necessary a new ABS/ESC control unit will be fitted.
CURTAIN AIRBAG CYLINDER MAY CORRODE LEADING TO POSSIBLE REAR PASSENGER INJURY
If the water drain in the area of the panoramic sunroof is not functioning properly water can seep into the vehicle�s headliner. If sufficient water accumulates the foam adjacent to the pressure cylinder of the curtain airbag can become wet and cause the pressure cylinder to corrode. The corrosion can weaken the cylinder causing sudden pressure release possibly with fragments.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check for water seepage and the drainage is correct from the panoramic sunroof area. Check the pressure cylinders for corrosion treat with anti-corrosion wax or replace as necessary. Remove foam which is next to the pressure cylinder.
COOLANT PUMP MAY OVERHEAT
Foreign particles in the engine coolant can lead to a blockage in the additional coolant pump and cause the pump to overheat.Foreign particles in the coolant can lead to a blockage in the additional coolant pump and cause the pump to overheat.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and update the software which will deactivate the additional coolant pump in the event of malfunction. If there has been a malfunction of the additional water pump it will be replaced.

FRONT BACKREST MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The back-rests of the front seats may not have been assembled correctly. This may increase risk of injury to occupants during a collision.
On affected vehicles check frames and if necessary replace affected components.
THIRD ROW SEATS MAY DEFORM IN EVENT OF A COLLISION
