THE CENTRE CONSOLE SWITCHPACK COULD SUFFER LOSS OF SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS
Hazard warning and vehicle demisters may become inoperable
Install a software update to the centre console switch pack
THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WIRING HARNESS CAN BECOME TRAPPED AT THE FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY
The electrical power steering wiring may have been damaged during assembly.
Inspect and if damaged replace harness
IN SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITIONS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT DISPLAYED AN ERROR
Temporary loss of power assistance to the steering.
Reprogramme the electric power steering control unit on affected vehicles.
THE REAR SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE PERFORMANCE MAY NOT FULFIL THE LOAD REQUIREMENTS ON 5 SEAT CONFIGURATION VEHICLES
Rear seat belt anchorage incorrect specification.
A reinforcement plate will be fitted to affected vehicles.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
A pipe to the power steering cooler may not be corrctly secured and may come adrift. This may cause a loss of power steering assistance.
On affected vehicles fit a new bracket to more securely retain the pipes.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
A pipe to the power steering cooler may not be corrctly secured and may come adrift. This may cause a loss of power steering assistance.
On affected vehicles fit a new bracket to more securely retain the pipes.
STEERING POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
Due to a poor earth connection steering power assistance may by lost.
On affected vehicles check the earth connection. Where necessary remove clean and reconnect the earth cable.
INTERNAL BODY JOINTS/ FIXINGS MAY NOT BE TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION
It has been identified that certain internal body joints or fixing may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If not torqued to the correct specification then the joints/fixings may loosen over time. This could affect the vehicle's integrity if involved in a collision.
Recall all the affected vehicle to check and if required torque certain internal body joints and fixings.
GLASS SUNROOF MAY DETACH
The sunroof glass panel may not be adequately bonded to the sunroof sliding frame. This may cause it to detach in motion.
On affected vehicles apply addition adhesive between sunroof glass pane and sliding frame.
RISK OF FIRE
There is a possibility that the bolted connection of the battery cable where it passes through the bulkhead may be loose on a small number of vehicles. In most instances the customer is unable to start the engine. However in very rare cases if the battery is significantly discharged and the vehicle is being operated under increased electrical load a loose electrical connection can overheat whilst the vehicle is in use. If the above circumstances occur in very rare cases there could be a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the original nut with a prevailing torque nut and tightened to the correct torque.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE
Only on the rear axle of vehicles fitted with carbon ceramic brakes the stainless steel screws fixing the rotor to the metal bell may fail due to stress corrosion cracking if the vehicle has been used in extreme salt environments. The customer will experience a noise when a screw fails and the brake continues to be 100% effective. However if the affected disc was to lose 8 of the 10 screws there would be a loss of braking at that rear wheel. This may lead to a small increase in stopping distance and could lead to a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the affected stainless steel screws with a screw of a different material that is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.

POTENTIAL OF PEDESTRIAN INJURY
It is possible due to a build up of corrosion that the Flying B mascot may not retract correctly when struck. If the vehicle is involved in a collison with a pedestrian and the mascot does not retract correctly the pedestrian may suffer addiional injuries.
Recall the affected vehicles for the mascot mechanism to be replaced with a later version.

CENTRE REAR SEAT PASSENGER MAY NOT BE FULLY RESTRAINED
It has been identified that the potential exists for the centre rear seatbelt upper guide bracket to distort in the event of a frontal impact. This could result in the centre sear seat occupant travelling further forward than the design intent.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject guide bracket replaced with one which incorporates a revised design.
FUEL HOSE MAY FAIL
Fuel hoses may fail prematurely due to them being made to incorrect specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel hose with one of the correct specification.
FUEL MAY LEAK
There is potential for road salt to corrode the outer surface of the fuel filter. In an extreme case this may lead to the filter housing becoming porous with a corresponding fuel leak which has the potential for combustion.
Recall the affected vehicles to have the fuel filter replaced by the later designed corrosion-resistant coated filter and move the retaining clip.
