AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR SUPPORT MOUNTINGS MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
The tightness of one of the air conditioning compressor support mountings may not be correct to specification. This will result in an abnormal noise and possibility of the compressor becoming insecure
On affected vehicles check the tightness of the support; where necessary the support will be replaced.
BUMPER TRIM BONDING MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
On the affected vehicles the bonding of the front bumper trim may not conform to specification. Over time the bonding may allow the trim to detach

FRONT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The ignition module which triggers the front seat airbag may not deploy in the event of an impact. There is no indication to the driver the unit is faulty.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front seat airbag unit.
MALFUNCTIONS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
It has been identified that some ground connections of the cabin wiring harness and the fixings of the airbag control unit may not be to specification. This issue or non-compliance could cause erratic malfunctions of certain electrical equipment even in very rare cases causing the engine to cut-off or airbags malfunction.
Recall all affected vehicles to check tightness of the ground connections and airbag control unit fixings. If required these will need rectification.
STEERING BOLTS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED CORRECTLY

However the ingress of water into the cabin could affect the electrical operation of the airbag module which could lead to an unexpected deployment of the airbag.
Recall all affected vehicles to add additional sealant to the body interfaces and if required to replace any interior components damaged by the water ingress.
BRAKE SERVO MAY BE INSECURE
The tightening torque of one of the nuts of the connection between the brake servo unit and the brake pedal may be not correct to specification. This may allow air to enter the servo
Check servo security and where necessary replace the brake servo unit
