BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
Brake pipes at the brake master cylinder may not be to specification and start leaking. A brake fluid leak can increase the vehicle's stopping distance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake pipes.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY BECOME INEFFECTIVE
It has been identified that under certain operating conditions the windscreen wipers may become inoperative. This can impair the driver's forward vision which may lead to a collision.
Recalled vehicles will have the integrated power module (TIPM) part number inspected. Modules found with a part number which ends in AA through AL must have two external wiper relays installed. Additionally the TIPM software will be reprogrammed.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the front seat electric heating elements may overheat. This can under certain operating conditions result in an interior fire or personal injury.
Recalled vehicles will have both front seat heating elements replaced.
SIDE AIRBAG WIRING INCORRECTLY CONNECTED
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) side airbag wires were installed in the incorrect connector which results in the opposite side airbag deploying under certain crash conditions
Recall affected vehicles and relocate wires in the correct ORC connector
PARK BRAKE MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE
It has been identified that the parking brake lever clutch drum may distort and reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake. This could result in the vehicle moving inadvertently when parked.
Recalled vehicles will have the parking brake lever assembly replaced.
PARK BRAKE MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE
It has been identified that the parking brake lever clutch drum may distort and reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake. This could result in the vehicle moving inadvertently when parked.
Recalled vehicles will have the parking brake lever assembly replaced.
REAR BRAKE PIPES COULD FAIL RESULTING IN A PARTIAL BRAKE SYSTEM LOSS.
It has been identified that there may be insufficient clearance between the steering shaft and the rear brake pipes. Prolonged contact may result in the pipe becoming holed resulting in a partial loss of the braking system.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake pipes inspected and replaced if necessary. In every case an additional retaining clip will be installed.
HALFSHAFT AND DRIVE MAY DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING.
The rear axle hub may loosen and allow the half shaft to disengage from the wheel hub.
Recall affected vehicles and inspect hub nuts for crimping around the circumference. If crimping is missing replace nuts.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that an unused tyre pressure monitoring system electrical connector may become corroded and short circuit. This can lead to a variety of conditions including dead battery inoperative cruise control and engine non- start or stall
Recalled vehicles will have all unused tyre monitoring system electrical connections removed and the wiring sealed with heat shrink.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that an unused tyre pressure monitoring system electrical connector may become corroded and short circuit. This can lead to a variety of conditions including dead battery inoperative cruise control and engine non- start or stall
Recalled vehicles will have all unused tyre monitoring system electrical connections removed and the wiring sealed with heat shrink.
HEADLIGHTS MAY NOT SELF LEVEL CORRECTLY
It has been established that the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) may be configured incorrectly thus preventing the headlamp levelling system from operating correctly.
Recalled vehicles will have the TIPM re-configured.

It has been established that the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) may be configured incorrectly thus preventing the headlamp levelling system from operating correctly.
Recalled vehicles will have the TIPM re-configured.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that engine coolant might be drawn into the left side cooling fan motor connector. Should this occur an electrical short circuit will arise which may result in a fire within the engine compartment.
Recalled vehicles will have a left side radiator cooling fan motor wire overlay installed. Additionally the left side cooling fan motor connector will be inspected for damage. Vehicles found with a damaged radiator cooling fan motor connector will have the fan motor replaced.
RISK OF FIRE
The blower motor may under certain operating conditions overheat and cause an interior fire
Recall affected vehicles and fit modified blower motor.
REAR QUARTER WINDOW MAY DETACH FROM VEHICLE
The fixed rear quarter glass may separate from the vehicle whilst in motion
Recall affected vehicles and replace Quarter Glass assembly
ENGINE MAY STALL
Under certain operating conditions it has been identified that the engine might stall due to incorrect programming of the totally integrated power module (TIPM).
Recalled vehicles will have the TPIM re-programmed.
WHEEL SEPERATION MAY OCCUR
Insufficient grease may have been applied to the front wheel bearings which could result in the very worst cases in detachment of the wheel and hub.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front wheel bearings.
REAR BRAKES MAY LOCK
The ABS control unit may be programmed incorrectly. This may lead to the rear brakes locking up during certain braking conditions.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affect to re-programme the ABS control module.
