Showing 876–900 of 1,018 recalls.
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.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY SYSTEM MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The pedestrian safety function in the bonnet may fail to trigger.
Replace the pedestrian safety sensor system.
RISK OF FIRE
Moisture may enter the fuel filter heater at an electrical connection. Should this occur it can cause a discharge of the battery causing non starting of the vehicle. Also if it occurs whilst the vehicle is in motion it could result in a fire when the vehicle is left unattended.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel filter heater.

REAR WINDOW PANE MAY DETACH
The rear side windows and the rear windscreen all made from a synthetic polycarbonate may detach from the vehicle causing a danger to other road users and possibly pedestrians.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear side windows and if necessary the rear windscreen with conventional glass windows.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
The front brake disc mounting bolts may loosen which if ignored could lead to longer braking distances.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to remove the coupling discs from between the front brake disc and wheel then tighten the front disc mounting bolts to the correct specification.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE IMPAIRED
Rear suspension relay lever pivot joint bearings may corrode through ingress of water. This can cause stiffness in the bearings and if not attended to over a protracted period the resistance in the bearings can eventually lead to the joints failing and sagging of the suspension to the extent that it will allow the rear wheel cover to lower onto the rear tyre. Should this event occur the speed and possibly the directional control could be impaired.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the original relay levers with re-designed relay levers.
POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
It is possible that engine oil can enter the brake servo via the brake vacuum pump and vacuum hose. If this occurs it could damage the brake servo membrane which may leak so causing a reduction in braking assistance and a requirement to apply increased pedal force to achieve the same braking efficiency.
Recall all affected vehicles for the fitment of a modified servo hose. In addition the checking of the brake servo for contamination and replacement if required.

ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP MAY FAIL
Due to a manufacturing defect which causes premature wear of the fuel pump commutator it is possible that the engine might cut out whilst driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel pump.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The top seat belt automatic reel with pyrotechnic ignited pre-tensioner fitted is mounted too close to the sound insulation both nearside and offside. If the vehicle is involved in a substantial collision where the pre-tensioners are deployed a fire may occur as it is possible for the hot gases to ignite the sound insulation.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to rework the sound insulation fitted to both nearside and offside and if necessary fit new top seat belts
FRONT BRAKE PIPES MAY LEAK.
The front brake pipes may leak brake fluid which can be noticed in the first instance by seepage of brake fluid from the front hose/s and a lowering of the fluid level in the reservoir. The next stage of failure would be a spongy feeling to the brake control and dripping fluid from the brake hoses. If all the previous indicators have not been noted and rectified the brakes will eventually not apply.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check which brake hoses are fitted and if not the latest version fit new brake hoses.

STEERING TRAVEL MAY BE INHIBITED.
It is possible for the threaded fasteners for the fuel tank to work loose and fall to a position where they can inhibit the steering travel. If this happens the directional control will only be affected during low speed manoeuvring.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to inspect and on the machines that are affected refit the fastenings of the front fuel tank mounts after coating with a thread locking compound.

ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It is possible that the multi-function switches can fail which can result in the kill-switch function being tripped. This can result in the engine cutting out and the loss of other functions.
Recall affected machines for a new improved switch to be installed.
