VACUUM BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY REDUCE.
It has been identified that the check valve within the brake assistance vacuum pump may suffer from a non-conformity which in time may reduce the braking assistance.
Recalled vehicles as a preventative measure will have the subject valve replaced. At the same time certain vehicles will also have the air dosing unit replaced.
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.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY WORK LOOSE
The accelerator pedal plate may have been fitted with nuts that are not of the correct specification. In time the nuts may work loose making the pedal feel insecure.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the three accelerator pedal plate fixing nuts.
INDICATOR SIDE REPEATERS MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
It has been identified that; with the engine switched off the side indicator repeaters do not operate when the parking lights are on.
Recalled vehicles will have the relevant operating software upgraded.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that there is a risk of the engine stalling under very firm braking conditions.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine ECU software upgraded.

It has been identified that there is a risk of the engine stalling under very firm braking conditions.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine ECU software upgraded.
THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD BECOME STIFF THEREBY REDUCING BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The brake pedal might feel stiff and the braking distances extended as a result of a defect in the vacuum pump.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the valve in the vacuum pump.
THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD BECOME STIFF THEREBY REDUCING BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The brake pedal might feel stiff and the braking distances extended as a result of a defect in the vacuum pump.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the valve in the vacuum pump.
STEERING MAY BECOME STIFF
It has been identified that a problem may arise with the steering mechanism which can result in hardness whilst manoeuvring.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering mechanism checked and lubricated. The mechanism will be replaced if found to be damaged. At the same time certain vehicles will have key components reinforced against the ingress of water. Thus preventing operating faults in the long term.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
Possible oil seepage in the brake assistance circuit that could damage the brake amplifier membrane and reduce braking assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the vacuum circuit valve and pipe which link the vacuum pump to the brake amplifier.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
Possible oil seepage in the brake assistance circuit that could damage the brake amplifier membrane and reduce braking assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the vacuum circuit valve and pipe which link the vacuum pump to the brake amplifier.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Braking maybe impaired due to some brake pipes not being manufactured to conformity.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the serial numbers of the brake pipes and to replace the brake pipes where necessary.
POSSIBILITY OF REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
It has been identified that vehicles fitted with 2I HDI engines may have been fitted a vacuum pump which may not be to specification. This could lead to a decrease in braking assistance.
Recalled vehicles will have the vacuum pump replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
It has been identified that vehicles fitted with 2I HDI engines may have been fitted a vacuum pump which may not be to specification. This could lead to a decrease in braking assistance.
Recalled vehicles will have the vacuum pump replaced.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF ABS AND ESP FUNCTIONS
It has been identified that the operation of the ABS/ESP braking unit may be affected by the ingress of water.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles to reinforce the resistance of the ABS/ESP unit to water.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING
It has been identified that poor protection of the power steering pump earth terminal; could result in loss of power assistance to the steering.
Recalled vehicles will have the power steering pump earth terminal protection reinforced.
POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
It has been identified that a brake hose may become worn as a result of rubbing contact against the heat shield protecting the exhaust system. This may lead in extreme cases to a leak from a brake circuit which manifests itself in increased brake pedal travel.
Recalled vehicles will have the exhaust heat shield adjusted in order to maintain the correct distance from the subject brake hose. Should the hose display signs of wear it will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAK
It has been identified that during the fuel tank production process the joint between the tank and the fuel supply pipe assembly may not have been produced to the correct standard. Should this indeed be the case leakage from the supply pipe area of the fuel tank might occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank inspected and replaced as necessary.
SEAT BELT MAY FAIL IN A COLLISION
It has been identified that on some vehicles fitted with electrically controlled seats in very rare cases and under certain impact conditions the front seatbelt may provide a diminished level of restraint.
As a preventative measure subject vehicles will have the front seatbelt buckles replaced.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY REDUCE
If the battery voltage is abnormally low the antilock braking system electronic control unit may not perform to specification which in rare cases may cause a reduction in braking efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the Electronic Control Unit.

If the battery voltage is abnormally low the antilock braking system electronic control unit may not perform to specification which in rare cases may cause a reduction in braking efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the Electronic Control Unit.
POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAK
It has been identified that on certain vehicles a fault may be present on the diesel fuel circuit return pipe ay the location of the pressure sensor.In the manufacture of the pipe an excess of material resulted in a reduction of the pipe's internal diameter therefore restricting the fuel flow and a risk of a diesel leak from the fuel connector.
Subject vehicles will have the diesel fuel delivery pressure in the injection pump checked. This will check the conformity of the pipe which in the case of nonconformity will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that on a small number of vehicles the engine may have been fitted with a cylinder head where the lubrication circuit is not in conformity. This could result in failure of the engine.
Recalled vehicles will have the marking on the camshaft carrier checked and if found to be within the effected range the engine will be replaced.
BRAKING MAY BE AFFECTED
Braking assistance could be adversely affected by freezing of moisture that may accumulate in the vacuum circuit.
Recall the vehicles that may be affected and fit a separate air vent complete with filter to each electro valve fitted to the vacuum circuit.
SEATBELT MAY NOT OPERATE AS DESIGNED
The seat belt locking action may not be as fast as it is designed to be.
Recall the vehicles that may be affecte check the date of manufacture of the seat belts and where necessary replace the seat belts.
