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.

POTENTIAL FIRE RISK
The power steering box housing may not be machined to the correct specification. This could cause an over pressurisation of bellows due to the insecurity of a snap ring and result in a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure. Oil will then be sprayed onto hot engine components and may ignite.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the steering box replaced.

ENGINE MAY SEIZE
Under high engine speeds it is possible that the conrod big end bolts may work loose which can cause the engine to seize. The anti-hopping clutch will prevent the rear wheel from locking but a safety critical riding situation may occur if oil escapes.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to install new conrod bolts that have thread locking compound applied.
RISK OF FIRE
The positive battery cable routed from the vehicle battery to the engine bay consists of one cable in the luggage compartment and one cable in the underbody. Both cable are connected by a screw connection and covered by a plastic cover. In single cases the plastic cover may have been fitted incorrectly during the vehicle production. Over time an incorrectly fitted cover could cause the screw connections to come loose leading to an increased resistance also humidity may affect the connection and cause high resistance and drop in current. This can lead to the vehicle not starting and in extreme cases the connection could over heat leading to the possibility of a fire in the luggage area.
The clips on the battery will be checked the cover replaced and sealed.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
Some engines are fitted with an additional water pump for the turbo charger. In some circumstances a crack may develop which then leads to melting of the plug connections and the housing. Further heat development may then lead to scorch damage. In exceptional cases such overheating can lead to smouldering of the water pump. If smouldering occurs an engine compartment fire and vehicle fire cannot be excluded.
The water pump will be replaced for a new more robust version.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
Some engines are fitted with an additional water pump for the turbo charger. In single cases an overheating of the circuit board can occur.

SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Due to the ingress of moisture it is possible that a short circuit can occur in the additional coolant pump for the exhaust turbocharger. The driver will be informed of the issue by a warning message on the display in the instrument panel. If not addressed it is possible for further heat build up in the pump which may cause the plug connection and housing to melt and in extreme cases a localised fire in the engine compartment or vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the additional coolant pump.
