Showing 51–73 of 73 recalls.
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.
ROAD WHEEL MAY BECOME DETACHED
It has been identified that affected vehicles have been fitted with wheel retaining bolts which do not conform to the dimensional specification. This can result in the wheel bolts becoming loose with the possibility that a wheel might detach.
Affected vehicles will be fitted with wheel bolts manufactured to the correct dimensional specification.

Affected vehicles will be fitted with wheel bolts manufactured to the correct dimensional specification.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
It has been identified that the potential exists for a foul condition to occur between a brake pipe and an engine mounted hose clip. A situation which could eventually result in failure of the brake pipe and an increase in stopping distance under braking. Additionally there is a risk of fire due to brake fluid escaping into the engine compartment.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected and the clearance between the brake pipe and hose clip checked. If the clearance is to tolerance and no damage exists no further action will be required. Should the clearance be below the required standard remedial action will be taken as appropriate.
WHEEL FIXING BOLTS MAY LOOSEN
Due to the possibility of the road wheels having an incorrect finish the potential exists for the wheel fixing bolts to loosen. This defect could lead to the road wheel becoming detached from the hub.
Affected vehicles will have all the road wheels including the spare (if it is a full size wheel) and all the wheel fixing bolts replaced
POTENTIAL LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
Due to the fitment of a nut without the specified self-locking feature the potential exists for the front suspension lower ball joint to become disconnected. This may lead to loss of directional control.
Recalled vehicles will have both left and right hand front suspension lower ball joint securing nuts replaced.
FUEL PUMP OUTLET HOSE MAY FRACTURE
Fuel pump outlet hose has the potential under certain conditions to fracture and leak fuel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel pump outlet hose assembly.
FUEL PUMP OUTLET HOSE MAY FRACTURE
Fuel pump outlet hose has the potential under certain conditions to fracture and leak fuel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel pump outlet hose assembly.
FUEL PUMP OUTLET HOSE MAY FRACTURE
Fuel pump outlet hose has the potential under certain conditions to fracture and leak fuel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel pump outlet hose assembly.
POSSIBILITY THAT FEED OR RETURN FUEL LINE QUICK CONNECTORS MAY NOT FULLY RE-ENGAGE.
There is a possibility that following disconnection the potential exists for either the fuel feed or return fuel line quick connectors to not fully re-engage
Recall affected vehicles remove plastic quick-release collar from the connector fully re-engage and fit safety clip
POSSIBLE FOULING OF FUEL & BRAKE PIPES
The potential exists for a foul to occur between the brake modulator pipe and the fuel pipe entering the fuel cooler and a further foul between the brake modulator pre-charge pump and the brake pipes. This may result in eventual abrasive damage to the pipes and possible leakage
Recall likely affected vehicles to check gap between pipes. If found to be too close or if corrosion protection has worn off remedial action will be taken. In the unlikely event of excessive abrasion the affected pipes will be replaced.
STEERING AND BRAKES POWER ASSISTANCE HOSE MAY LEAK
Brakes and Steering Power assistance hose may leak
Recall affected vehicles and replace hose with one to the correct specification
AIR CAN ENTER PRIMARY CIRCUIT OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
The low pressure brake fluid feed pipe between the master cylinder and remote reservoir has the potential to trap air which may in certain circumstances cause partial failure of the primary brake circuit.
Recall affected vehicles and replace both brake fluid feed hoses and reservoir with a new assembly to revised specification.
AIR CAN ENTER PRIMARY CIRCUIT OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
The low pressure brake fluid feed pipe between the master cylinder and remote reservoir has the potential to trap air which may in certain circumstances cause partial failure of the primary brake circuit.
Recall affected vehicles and replace both brake fluid feed hoses and reservoir with a new assembly to revised specification.

Recall affected vehicles and replace both brake fluid feed hoses and reservoir with a new assembly to revised specification.
POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUITING
The main cable between the battery and the master switch can contact the edge of the body panel in the boot area. If the panel cuts through the cable insulation a short circuit may occur resulting in potential loss of electrical supply and a possible risk of fire.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for inspection of the battery cable routing. Where insufficient clearance exists the cable will be repositioned. Additionally if the cable shows signs of wear it will be repaired or replaced as required.
POSSIBLE FOULING OF BRAKE PIPES
Due to incorrect routing of the pipes connecting the brake pumps to the hydraulic accumulators there is a possibility of a foul condition between these pipes which if not corrected could result in brake failure.
The affected vehicles are being recalled for inspection of the hydraulic pipes concerned. Where pipe clearance is found to be insufficient this will be adjusted to accord with the manufacturers specification.
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF FACIA PANEL
There is a possibility that the SRS passenger air bag aluminium facia panel may become detached during air bag deployment with a risk of injury to occupants of the vehicle.
The affected vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the SRS air bag facia panel and the adjacent matching facia air vent panels.
POSSIBLE FOULING OF BRAKE PIPES
Due to incorrect routing of the pipes connecting the brake pumps to the hydraulic accumulators there is a possibility of a foul condition between these pipes which if not corrected could result in brake failure.
The affected vehicles are being recalled for inspection of the hydraulic pipes concerned. Where pipe clearance is found to be insufficient this will be adjusted to accord with the manufacturers specification.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF SEAT BELT LOWER ATTACHMENT RAIL
The front seat belt lower attachment rail may be of insufficient strength and could fail in the event of an accident.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the original seat belt attachment rail with a redesigned version.
