POSSIBILE FAULT IN THE DSC YAW RATE SENSOR
Due to a possible manufacturing error the damping element of the Directional Stability Control (DSC) yaw rate sensor could be faulty.
Recall the affected vehicles check the batch number and replace if necessary.
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG
A possible fault in the microprocessor in the air bag control unit could lead to an uncontrolled setting of the output signals from the control unit immediately after switching on the ignition. In unfavourable conditions this may lead to components of the safety and restraint system being triggered. This fault does not affect the vehicle while the car is being driven.
Recall affected vehicles and replace and code the air bag control unit.
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF BALL BEARING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION STRUT TOP MOUNTING
It is possible that the ball bearing in the front suspension strut top mounting may not have been securely fitted. If the weight of the car is taken off of the road wheel for any reason the bearing may became displaced with a risk of personal injury or damage to the suspension.
Replace both front suspension strut mounts.
ENGINE COOLING FAN MAY FAIL.
Manufacturing faults and software errors in the electronics of the electric fan could cause these components to be thermally overloaded and destroyed. In isolated cases the overloading could lead to scorching or a fire in the fan.
Recall affected vehicles and check the fan type and build. Replace the fan where necessary.
TYRES MAY HAVE CUTS IN SIDE WALLS.
Cuts have been observed on isolated Continental tyres fitted to vehicles. The cuts (1-5 cm in length) are of varying severity and can lead to a loss of tyre pressure. This can destroy the tyre if the vehicle continues to be driven.
Recall affected vehicles examine all tyres and replace any found with cuts in the sidewalls.
BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL TO OPERATE REMAIN ON OR FLICKER
There is a possibility that the brake light switch circuits may become defective and cause the brake light circuit to fail stay on continuously or flicker. In extreme cases the brake switch could overheat.
Recall affected vehicles and replace brake light switch with a modified version.
POSSIBILITY THAT GEARBOX MAY LOCK UP
Possibility that the automatic transmission may lock up at speeds below 15mph.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a new quality assured gearbox.
