CRASH PROTECTION PLATE FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT INSTALLED IN 3 CYLINDER PETROL ENGINES
A crash protection plate for the high pressure fuel pump was not installed in 3-cylinder petrol engines.
On the affected vehicles the crash protection plate will be retrofitted.
SIDE STAND CONNECTION MAY BEND/BREAK
On G310-models the side stand connection might bend or in extreme case break. It is not possible to completely rule out an insecure standing position of the vehicle where this fault occurs.
On affected machines the side stand connection will be checked for prior damage and an additional bearing block for reinforcement purposes will be installed.

SOFTWARE FAULT WITH CRANKSHAFT SENSOR
The affected vehicles may be equipped with a crankshaft sensor with a software fault. The crankshaft sensor cannot process the signal values from the crankshaft transmitter due to an improper firmware level. The firmware does not compensate sufficiently the temperature gradients and the magnetic field strength of the sensor electronic. If the crankshaft sensor cannot process the signal values from the transmitter the Digital Diesel Electronic (DDE) will notice that and change to the emergency operation mode. The emergency mode will be displayed by the check control message �engine malfunction�. The driver may notice a rough running engine and a reduced driving power (70%). However an engine stalling during driving conditions cannot be excluded.
On the affected vehicles the crankshaft sensor will be replaced with a new version.

PISTONS IN REAR BRAKE CALIPERS MAY NOT BE COATED TO SPECIFICATIONS
The fault affects the brake system in particular the brake calipers on the rear axle. Because of a faulty coating hydrogen gas (approximately 10 ml) could be created in the coating of the piston of the brake caliper. This will be completely outgassed during the first 2 months after the production process causing longer brake pedal travel. Under certain circumstances the relevant brake pressure cannot be build up in the rear brake circuit. As a result the brake force of the system may be reduced by up to 30%. The driver may feel a soft brake pedal and a reduction of the brake performance. In certain cases the rear brake circuit could fail leading to increased risk of an accident.
On the affected vehicles the brake system will be bled.
DISTANCE BETWEEN SENSOR AND IN-TANK FUEL LINE COULD BE TOO SMALL
The fault affects the fuel level sensor within the fuel tank.The distance between the sensor and an in-tank fuel line could be too small which could allow the sensor to contact the fuel line and in some cases become stuck. If the fuel sensor becomes stuck the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster displays a larger amount of fuel than is actually in the tank. Therefore the tank could become empty leading to the engine stalling without prior warning.
On the affected vehicles the fuel line supply unit system will be reworked.

FRONT AXLE SWIVEL BEARINGS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED TO SPECIFICATION
Due to a fault in the supplier production process the swivel bearings on the front axle of the affected vehicles may not have been produced to specification. Due to an insufficient heat treatment the fracture strain has been reduced. The affected swivel bearings could break causing loss of wheel guidance during driving.
On the affected vehicles both swivel bearings will be checked and if necessary replaced with a part produced to specification.
