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.

Where necessary replace affected airbag modules.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identified that the bolt that connects the ground cable from the wiring harness of the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) to the engine block may not have been tightened/torqued to the correct specification. This can lead to an under voltage supply which can trigger a reset of the DME. This can result in the engine cutting out or depending on vehicle speed to restart/turn on the engine once the reset has been completed.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required retorque the bolt for the ground cable on the engine block.
POWER STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The electrical contact of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) is not sufficiently robust over the service life of the vehicle. As a result the power steering support may fail possibly leading to disconcerting driving situation for the driver. Additionally in a few cases a localised thermal event cannot be excluded.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering gear (EPS).

FRONT AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT TENSIONERS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED
It has been identified that the airbag/SRS central sensor has been programmed with faulty software. If the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rearward collision then the airbag and seat belt tensioners may not be triggered which could lead to an increased risk of injury to the occupants.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the airbag/SRS central sensor.

DRIVERS AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
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 replace air bag and inflator assemblies.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL
The bolts securing the rear axle support should not be re-used after removal. Affected vehicles may have had the rear axle support refitted after repair work using the original fitted bolts. These may work and though noise and vibration are likely continued use may affect the vehicle's handling.
On affected vehicles replace the rear axle support bolts.

AIRBAG MAY NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED
Due to vibrations particles inside the airbag control unit may cause a short circuit. This may reset the control module illuminating the airbag warning lamp and prevent the airbag(s) from acting as intended during a collision.
On affected vehicle replace the airbag control unit.
ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY BECOME INSECURE
ISOFIX mountings are fixed to a cross member. As a result of vibrations and type of seat used it is possible for the ISOFIX mountings to become insecure and in rare cases break off.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and a metal angle bracket will be welded to each of the four ISOFIX brackets in the back seats to reinforce the mounting.

STEERING MAY NOT BEHAVE AS DESIGNED
The engine current sensors have not been calibrated correctly which could lead to an increased recuperation torque during vehicle deceleration. An increased recuperation torque during deceleration could lead to a vehicle oversteer condition in the i3 and vehicle understeer condition in the i8. This could lead to skidding on slippery roads during driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and calibrate sensors for measuring the engine current.

DRIVESHAFT MAY FAIL
The propshaft slide joint may not have been lubricated during manufacture
On affected vehicles check propshaft and hwere necessary replace propshaft.
