PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
LOSS OF DRIVE
It is possible that over a period of time the bolt securing the clutch cover/pressure plate may become loose. The drive should be warned of this by the behaviour of the clutch noise from it or inability to select gears. Under certain conditions complete loss of drive could occur which could place the driver and occupant of the vehicle in a prone position.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the clutch bolts.

MACHINE CAN BE RIDDEN WITH SIDE STAND EXTENDED
The mounting of the side-stand switch with a circlip is insufficient. As a result of this the side-stand switch may work loose and be damaged. If the side-stand switch does not function correctly the engine is no longer switched off when the side-stand is extended and a gear engaged. It would be possible for the driver to drive off with the side stand extended.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the side stand switch mounting. The switch will be bolted on.
LUGGAGE CARRIER MAY DETACH
Vehicle operation can cause the threaded fasteners of the luggage carrier (optional accessory) to lose their preload and in the course of time these fasteners can work loose. There is a possibility of the luggage carrier detaching itself from the vehicle if loosened threaded fasteners remain unnoticed.
Recall all the vehicles that are likely to be affected to ascertain whether a luggage carrier is fitted. All luggage carriers installed on vehicles will be re-secured with thread-locking compound applied to the threaded fasteners with replacement of brackets as necessary.

It would be possible for the driver to drive off with the side stand extended.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the side stand switch mounting. The switch will be bolted on.
BRAKE POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
Brake performance may be affected as a result of oil contamination of the brake servo. The servo membrane could over a period of time soften and fail causing lower levels of servo assistance for the brakes.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the vacuum hose and fit a non-return valve (oil stop) between the booster and servo. Where necessary the servo and master cylinder will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
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 make 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 and replace the cable/connection with a more robust item.

FRONT SIDE PANELS MAY WORK LOOSE
It is possible that the fastenings for the front side panels could at high speeds work loose and allow the panels to detach from the machine.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the fastenings with those of a modified type.
SIDE STAND MAY FAIL
The threaded fasteners connecting the side stand to the frame may come loose and allow the side stand to detach/collapse.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the original threaded fasteners with ones that are longer and have Pre-coating applied to all the thread.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE COMPROMISED
Foaming of the brake fluid may occur in the brake fluid reservoir of the front brake. It is therefore possible that air can then enter the front braking system and adversely affect the performance of the front brake.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to fit a screen into the brake fluid reservoir.
FRONT BRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
Air may form in the front brake master cylinder reservoir and enter the brake system. This will lead to longer travel of the brake lever with a possible loss of braking efficiency.
Recall the machines likely to be affected to fit a mesh insert into the front brake master cylinder reservoir. In addition an explanatory page will be added to the vehicle owner's manual.

REAR WINDOW MAY DETACH
It is possible side and rear windows made out of Makrolon (Synthetic Polycarbon Laminate) may become loose due to insufficient adhesion fixing them in place. This will result in a visual and audible warning of the issue to vehicle occupants. If these warnings are ignored it is possible a window could detach from the vehicle.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the Makrolon windows with conventional glass windows.
DRIVE MAY FAIL
The power steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt may fail which will lead to the loss of power steering assistance and the necessity for the driver to supply additional input to steering the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt with a more robust version.

ENGINE MAY FAIL
In individual cases the oil pump may no longer provide the required oil pressure. This may cause severe engine damage. Additionally the occurrence of critical driving situations cannot be ruled out because the oil pressure may drop suddenly while driving. The driver will usually notice a drop in the engine oil pressure due to the check control message ''Low oil Pressure''. It is also possible the engine block will be damaged and as a result engine oil may be lost.
The oil pump will be replaced with the correct version.

EPS MAY NOT PERFORM AS SPECIFIED
Due to a component in the integrated control module not being to specification it is possible power steering assistance may fail. If this happens the EPS warning lamp will illuminate and a check control message will appear on the dashboard display. Directional control will be maintained albeit with additional driver input.
Recall vehicles likely to be affected to replace the steering box.
