ENGINE COMPONENT MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
An engine component may not be to specification which could result in loss of engine performance. This may lead to the engine stalling and potentially causing an engine failure. In very unlikely circumstances the vehicle speed may increase without warning but will stop on its own after a few seconds.
On affected vehicles carry out a functional diagnostic check of the engine. If necessary replace the engine.

BONNET SKIN MAY BECOME INSECURE
The bonnet inner skin may not be adequately retained. This may cause the bonnet to vibrate or distort. In extreme cases the skin could detach.
On affected vehicles apply additional adhesive between the bonnet skin and its inner panel.
A NON-CONFORMITY IN AN INTERNAL COMPONENT COULD AFFECT DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
An internal component of the passenger's airbag triggering module may not conform to specification. This could affect the triggering of the device in the event of an impact.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger's air bag assembly
SUSPENSION AND STEERING FIXINGS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE
Due to a deviation in the production process certain suspension and steering fixings may not have been tightened to the correct torque.
On affected vehicles check fixings as indicated by the manufacturer. Replace any damaged fixings and tighten all relevant fixings to correct torque.
CORROSION WITHIN THE TAILGATE STRUT ASSEMBLY COULD CAUSE THE STRUT TO FAIL
Non-conformity of a tailgate strut internal component may allow corrosion to develop. This may cause the strut to fail and the tailgate may not be held open.
On affected vehicles replace the struts.
INGRESS OF WATER AND CORROSION MAY CAUSE THE WIPER MOTOR TO FAIL
A nonconformity of the windscreen wiper motor breather system could in some cases result in the entry of water and complete jamming of the motor due to internal corrosion.
On affected vehicles replace the wiper motor.
BONNET STRIKER MAY BE INSECURE
The striker wire on the bonnet lining may not have sufficient support to prove it with the security for its intended purpose. This can lead to incorrect locking of the bonnet over time and could result in an unintentional release of the bonnet.
On affected vehicles inspect and if requiredfit an additional strengthener to retain the striker cable on the inner panel of the bonnet. In some cases it may be necessary to replace the bonnet.
STARTER MOTOR SUPPLY WIRING HARNESS MAY BECOME DAMAGED
The positioning of the starter supply terminal may be incorrect. This may allow it to foul other components and cause a short circuit.
On affected vehicles check the positioning of the terminaL. Correct it if necessary and add additional protection.

On affected vehicles check the positioning of the terminal and correct it if necessary.
STARTER RELAY MAY OVERHEAT
Possible non-compliance of an internal component of the starter control relay could cause damage by overheating. This could cause unintended operation of the starter motor and in extreme instances; there is a risk of fire.
Check and if necessary replace the Electrical relay

Check and if necessary replace the Electrical relay
STARTER SUPPLY WIRE MAY CHAFE
The positioning of the starter motor supply terminal may not conform to specification. Contact with a neighbouring component could cause a short circuit.
On affected vehicles check the position of the terminal and where necessary reposition. Replace damaged components if necessary.

RIGHT HAND CURTAIN AIRBAG MAY NOT CONFORM TO SPECIFICATION
A component within the right-hand curtain airbag may not conform to specification and the air bag may not deploy correctly.
On affected vehicles replace the right hand curtain air bag.
LEFT HAND CURTAIN AIRBAG MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
A component within the left-hand curtain airbag may not conform to specification and the air bag may not deploy correctly.
On affected vehicles replace the left hand curtain air bag.
