POTENTIAL BLOCKING OF THE UREA INJECTOR
The urea injector may temporarily block
Update the engine management software
STEERING COLUMN MAY NOT BE CORRECT TO SPECIFICATION
Steering columns were produced not according to specification
Replacement of the steering column.
THE PASSENGER OUTER SEAT BELT MAY NOT BE CORRECT TO SPECIFICATION
The passenger outer seat belts may not be correct to specification
Replace the front outer passenger seat belt.
A PLASTIC COMPONENT INSIDE THE EXHAUST LINE COULD DAMAGE THE DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER
A plastic component inside the exhaust line could under certain circumstances damage the diesel particle filter.
Check and if necessary replace the particle filter.
A COMPONENT OF THE HANDBRAKE MECHANISM MAY NOT BE CORRECT TO SPECIFICATION
The handbrake mechanism may not be correct to specification.
Check the handbrake mechanism and if necessary replace the hand brake lever.
AIRBAGS MAY NOT BE TRIGGERED IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
On the affected vehicles an internal component within the airbag triggering ECU may have been damaged which could lead to non deployment. There are no early warning signs or symptoms for the customer to indicate if the ECU is incorrect.
The manufacturer has no simple method to check the internal component. Therefore all ECU's in affected vehicles to be changed as a precaution.
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.

GEARBOX ACTUATOR AY NOT BE TO SPECTIFICATION
A component in the gearbox actuator may not be to the correct specification which may affect gear selection.
On affected vehicles replace the gearbox actuator
BONNET MAY OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
The bonnet may not close correctly over time because a possible non-conformity with the fixing of the bonnet catch. The driver may notice in certain cases difficulty in opening or closing the bonnet easily or vibrations or slight movement of the bonnet when driving. The risk is incorrect closing of the bonnet which could lead without any warning to unwanted opening when driving.
Recall the the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the front bumper support. Where necessary the front bumper support will be replaced.
AIRBAG MAY INCORRECTLY DEPLOY
On affected vehicles the driver's air bag inflation device may not conform to specification. As a result may not deploy correctly during an impact.
Replace the driver's air bag module on affected vehicles
FUEL MAY LEAK AND CREATE FIRE RISK
It has been established that the high pressure fuel rail pipes on the engine have not been torqued to the correct specification. This can result in poor sealing of the rail which can cause as fuel leak onto the engine. If the vaporised fuel comes into contact with a hot engine component there can be a risk of an engine bay fire.
Recall all the affected vehicles and retorque the high pressure fuel rail pipes.
SEAT BELT FIXING BOLTS MAY LOOSEN
The fixing bolts of the front LH and RH seat belt return rail may loosen and in cases of extreme force break.
The bolts on the left and right- hand sides will be replaced.
ROOF FLAP MAY DETACH
The roof panel rear flap hinge may have a defect which will eventually allow the roof panel to detach.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either reinforce the retention of the hinges or changing the roof panel rear flap.
AIRBAG MAY OPERATE INCORRECTLY
The passenger airbag wiring harness connector may not be to specification which can cause the illumination of the warning light on the dashboard or if involved in a impact the incorrect deployment of the airbag.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the passenger airbag wiring harness.
TAILGATE MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the mounting ball on both tailgate support struts may rotate when the tailgate is opened or closed. Should one of the support struts dislocate the tailgate may not remain in the open position.
Recalled vehicles will have the mounting ball joints on the tailgate support struts replaced.
REAR DAMPER MAY BECOME INSECURE
The rear dampers lower fixing bolts may become loose.
Recall affected vehicles to check conformity of damper lower fixing bolt and replace if necessary
SPARE WHEEL CARRIER HEAT SHIELD COULD BECOME DETACHED
The heat shield protecting the spare wheel and carrier may detach because of the vibrations it is subjected to.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the heat shield or where necessary replace the spare wheel carrier which incorporates the heat shield.
LH SEAT MAY BECOME DETACHED IN A COLLISION
The left hand rear seat may not be fully secure because the right hand seat fixing may have been welded incorrectly. If the weld is incorrect the seat may detach during an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary repair the seat fixing.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
It has been identified that the fixing for the left hand seat belt inertia reel may not have tightened to the specified torque. As a result in the event of an impact the seat belt may not function as designed.
Recalled vehicles will have the fixing checked to ensure that it is at the correct torque tightening same as necessary.
WIPERS / LIGHTS/ BATTERY CHARGING MAY BE AFFECTED.
An incorrect engine relay unit may have been fitted. This ECU could deteriorate and cause operating faults and perhaps failure of certain equipment
Recall affected vehicles check Engine Relay Unit and replace if not correct specification.
WIPERS LIGHTS AND BATTERY CHARGING MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that one component of the computer that controls the operation of the wipers lighting and battery charging is not to specification. This can result in erratic operation or failure of one or all of the specified functions.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject computer replaced.
SUSPENSION SPRINGS MAY BREAK
In the exceptional event of a spring breaking there could be a risk of the spring making contact with the vehicle tyre.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a suspension cup to each side of the front suspension.
