BRAKE SWITCH MAY BE ACTIVATED PERMANENTLY
The ball head connecting the brake pedal and the master brake cylinder the ball head might not be locked properly into the ball cage. If the driver accidentally pulls up the brake pedal the brake switch would be activated permanently. This will cause: The brake lamps to be illuminated even while driving A Check Control Message would not alert the driver. An engine start or gear selection would be possible without brake actuation. If the driver's door were opened after switching off the engine the gear would not switch automatically to P as designed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the locking of the ball head on the brake pedal. If necessary the pedal mechanism will be replaced.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAYNOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It is possible a recess on the inside of the instrument panel was not machined correctly. The recess is the predetermined break point of the instrument panel when the front passenger airbag is activated. If the milling has not been carried out correctly the proper deployment of the front passenger airbag cannot be ensured.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the milling of the predetermined break point. Where necessary the instrument panel will be replaced.
FRONT BRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The connection sleeves of the engine oil cooler pipes (feed and return) may not have been crimped correctly. This may result in the connection sleeves becoming loose and engine oil suddenly escaping. If the oil gets to the front brake discs the efficiency could be adverely affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the connection sleeves for the engine oil cooler pipes. Where necessary replace the pipes.
FRONT CALIPER COULD BE INSECURE
The front brake caliper might not be fully secure. As a consequence of this the brake caliper can get loose and in the worst case the brake could be lost.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and rework the screw connections of the brake caliper.
DRIVESHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY BREAK
Due to insufficient strength the front universal joint in the rear front universal joint of the rear prop shaft may fail.
On affected vehicle replace the universal joint with a modified version

PLUG IN CONTACT CABLE MAY MALFUNCTION
It is possible that the connection between the B+ cable and the Power Distribution Box can become damaged by wear and heat which is caused by high current flow and high contact resistance. Normally this will result in a non-start situation after parking the vehicle. However it is possible that this could in extreme cases occur whilst the vehicle is in motion. The driver should be made aware of the issue by flickering of the instrument cluster (dash) or an engine mis-fire; but if the driver does not then the engine could cut-out without warning.
Recall all affected vehicles with petrol engines and replace the cable/connection with a more robust item.

DRIVERS AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
On some of the vehicles affected by this recall the driver's air bag inflator may rupture during deployment. Metal shards may pass through the air bag material and cause injury to occupants.
On affected vehicles the air bag inflator will be checked and if necessary replaced.

VENTILATION LINE MAY RUB AGAINST POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE
Due to inappropriate routing the ventilation line might rub against the battery positive cable which can cause a leakage over time. If leakage occurs fuel vapours will enter the engine compartment causing the risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fuel tank ventilation line. If damaged the ventilation line will be replaced. In all cases an additional clip will be attached between the tank ventilation line and the battery positive cable.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
A recess on the inside of the fascia panel may not have been correctly machined . This recess affects the deployment of the front passenger's air bag and it may not deploy as intended.
On affected vehicles replace fascia panel.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identificed that there is a software errors in the Digital Motor Electronics-E engine control unit which can cause a faulty setting of the idle controller. This can result in the engine cutting out stopping or stalling when the engine is at idle speed and declutched. With any mechanical faults within the engine it can increase the potential for the engine to cut out stopping or stalling. This can therefore place the rider at risk under certain riding conditions or situations.
Recall all affected machines to install new updated software.
AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY
The igniter for the certain airbag modules may not have been correctly manufactured which may affect air bag deployment in the event of a collision.
Where necessary replace affected airbag modules.
