FRONT SEAT BELT MAY NOT LOCK CORRECTLY
The front seat belts may not lock in the buckles correctly which will have the affect of the front passengers not being sufficiently restrained in the case of a violent impact.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary repair the seat belt locking mechanism.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The front right hand drive-shaft may fail.
Recall the affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the right hand drive-shaft
LOSS OF DRIVE
The front right hand drive-shaft may fail.
Recall the affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the right hand drive-shaft
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that water may ingress the brake drums causing premature brake lining wear. Should this occur the brake effort produced by the rear wheels may be reduced.
Recalled vehicles will have a seal fitted to the handbrake cable and the subject brake linings replaced.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
It has been identified that within the mechanism of the accelerator pedal there is a friction lever which interacts with a sliding surface. Over time and under certain conditionsthe contact surfaces may generated excessive friction and latterly the movement of the accelerator pedal. This over time and under certain conditions will result in the accelerator pedal becoming intermittently more difficult to push; or slower to return. In rare instances the accelerator pedal can remain in the partially depressed position.
Recalled vehicles will have a reinforcing plate fitted within the accelerator pedal mechanism which will ensure continued correct functionality.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that contact between the fuel return pipe and the engine shield may take place inside the engine compartment. Should this occur wear on the pipe would ensue which in the worst case; would result in a fuel leak.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with an additional fastener to ensure that contact is not made and if necessary the fuel return pipe will be replaced.
VEHICLE EXTERIOR LIGHTS MAY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING
The lighting management system may incorrectly detect the position of the exterior lighting control switch. This may cause the exterior light to switch off without warning.
Recall all affected vehicles and install a new version of the exterior lighting management software to the vehicle.
REAR SCREEN MAY NOT REMAIN IN OPEN POSITION.
The ball mountings for the rear screen support struts may dislocate and the screen will not remain in open position
Recall affected vehicles check security/tightness of strut mounting balls and replace any that are damaged.
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.
WINDSCREEN TRIM MAY DETACH
It has been identified that one of the windscreen side trims is not compliant. This may lead to the side trim moving position and in rare cases detaching.
Recalled vehicles will be checked for windscreen trim compliance. Should a non-compliance be identified the side trims will be replaced.
BRAKE PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
Residual low pressure persists in the power braking vacuum circuit which may result in the loss of power assistance when braking.
Recall affected vehicles to fit a calibrated air vent in the vacuum circuit.
BRAKE PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
An internal component of the Brake Master Cylinder may not be in conformity and as such braking performance/efficiency may be affected
Recall affected vehicles and replace Master Cylinder
LIGHTS MAY SWITCH OFF UNEXPECTEDLY
It has been identified that due to incorrect positioning of the exterior lighting control ring by the lighting management system the lights may switch off unexpectedly.
Recalled vehicles will have the lighting management software updated
LIGHTS MAY SWITCH OFF UNEXPECTEDLY

PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
The parking brake may fail due to the cable not being manufactured to specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the parking brakes cables.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the parking brakes cables.
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
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
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
WHEEL STUDS MAY BECOME LOOSE
A possible substandard tapping of one or more of the wheel stud holes may result in a reduction of the wheel stud to hub torque setting.
Recall affected vehicles and replace hubs.
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.
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.
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.
