DRIVESHAFT MAY FAIL
The propshaft slide joint may not have been lubricated during manufacture
On affected vehicles check propshaft and hwere necessary replace propshaft.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
The front brake hose may not have sufficient flexibility due to the position of the chafe guard. This may lead to chafing and eventually leakage of the brake hose. If leakage occurs stopping distance will be greater leading to a higher risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front brake hose.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The engine may stall when the throttle position is at idle and the clutch lever pulled. This as a result of a software issue and in some case the air intake may not be �leak tight�.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to download new soft ware to the engine management Electronic Control Unit and ensure the air intake unit is �leak tight�.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The in tank fuel pump may contain sub components that have not been correctly nickel plated. This may cause excessive friction leading to the fuel pump being inoperative. The driver may experience a no start condition or in the worst case an engine stall. A warning lamp and error message will display. Steering and brakes will still function.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the in tank fuel pump with a modified version.

WHEEL MAY DETATCH
It is possible that during maintenance work on brake discs and/or wheel changes threaded fasteners might have been over tightened. The over tightening can result in cracks in the wheel flange. In the course of a lengthy service life the cracks can propagate and under worst-case conditions lead to fracture of the bolted join and the wheel separating from the machine. Initially owners will be warned of the concern and when the new components are available the owners will be notified so the components can be replaced.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the aluminium wheel flange with a steel flange.

FUEL MAY LEAK
It is possible that lubricant contamination may result in the high current welding of the bolt for the fuel tank earth strap not being to specification. This could over time result in the fuel tank leaking. The driver will become aware of the leak either by the smell or dripping fuel after refuelling.
Recall all affected vehicles and inspect the fuel tank. If necessary replace the fuel tank.
SEAT BELT MAY MALFUNCTION
On affected vehicles the Driver's seatbelt retractor may be faulty. The seat belt may be hard to pull out or below zero degrees it may not be possible to pull the belt out. In these instances a driver may not be able to use the belt as intended.
On affected vehicles Check belt operation and replace belt if necessary

SAFETY BELT MAY NOT RESTRAIN OCCUPANT
For the left hand rear comfort seat the bracket to which the seat belt buckle is mounted may not be correctly positioned. The incorrect positioning causes incorrect welding of the bracket to the seat frame. If a collision occurs the welding for the bracket may weaken / fail leading to increased risk for the passenger in that seat.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the seat frame for the left hand rear comfort seat.
FRONT SEAT BACKREST MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE
The back-rest adjustment mechanism on both front seats may be incorrectly set and display a large amount of play. This can cause the back rest to wobble and in the event of an accident the back rest may inadvertently fold backwards.
On affected vehicles adjust back rests to manufacturer's specifications.
SPARE WHEEL MAY BECOME LOOSE
The emergency spare wheel mounting may gradually loosen due to vibration. If the flange nut loosens completely the emergency spare wheel well with the spare wheel can suddenly separate from the vehicles underbody.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the flange nut on the mounting plate of the emergency spare wheel well.
ENGINE EMERGENCY MODE MAY BE ACTIVATED DURING DRIVING
The screws retaining the variable camshaft timing (VANOS) housing may loosen and under certain circumstances the heads may break off. This can lead to the VANOS leaking oil internally and adversely affect the valve timing adjustment. If found to deviating from targeted data the engine emergency mode will be activated. This will be indicated by a distinct change in engine running. The orange engine management warning lamp and a check message; On vehicles with N51/N52 engines this will appear at ignition recycle on N55 engine it will display immediately.
