AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT MAY NOT BE TO STANDARD
The air bag control unit may be underestimating the significance of an impact for the purposes of deploying the airbags.
Recalled vehicles will have the airbag control unit replaced.
DIESEL FUEL RETURN PIPE MAY LEAK
The diesel fuel return pipe of the injection system for 1.6 HDI ( DV6) engines carries the risk that over time seeping of fuel may occur due to nonconformity in manufacture.
Recalled vehicles will have the return pipe replaced with a quality assured item.
DIESEL FUEL RETURN PIPE MAY LEAK
The diesel fuel return pipe of the injection system for 1.6 HDI ( DV6) engines carries the risk that over time seeping of fuel may occur due to nonconformity in manufacture.
Recalled vehicles will have the return pipe replaced with a quality assured item.
DIESEL FUEL RETURN PIPE MAY LEAK
The diesel fuel return pipe of the injection system for 1.6 HDI ( DV6) engines carries the risk that over time seeping of fuel may occur due to nonconformity in manufacture.
Recalled vehicles will have the return pipe replaced with a quality assured item.
THE SECURING NUTS OF THE SUNROOF MAY FAIL
The C3 vehicles concerned are fitted with a panoramic sunroof in respect of which the mobile glass has securing nuts that do not meet the manufacturer's quality requirements.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the sunroof securing nuts.
ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE DASHBOARD HARNESS
The dashboard harness on some vehicles may chafe which could cause random malfunctioning of the electric windows and in extreme cases could lead to a short circuit.
Recall the vehicles that are likely be affected and fit a plastic clip to the window switch wiring harness.
THE BRAKE HOSE MAY CHAFE AND LEAK
The brake hoses may chafe on the wheel aches and in extreme cases cause a brake fluid leak. The driver will be informed of the defect by the illumination of a warning lamp on the dashboard. If ignored then this will result in longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and visually inspect the front brake hoses reinforcement and protection. The brake hoses if worn will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY REVERT TO BACK UP MODE.BRAKE ASSISTANCE MAY REDUCE
The original ECU software could generate an excessive vibration of the injection butterfly. In very rare cases the butterfly upper stop may fail causing the engine to go to back up mode which may result in a drop of brake assistance efficiency
Recall affected vehicles and download new engine ECU software and initialisation of the ECU.
POSSIBLE CONTACT BETWEEN THE LEFT HAND REAR SPLASH SHIELD AND THE BRAKE HOSE.
Contact at full suspension travel may occur between the left hand rear splash shield and the brake hose. This may result in wearing of the hose after a period of time.
Likely to be affected vehicles will have the splash shield modified and the brake hose re-routed.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY STICK OPEN.
The accelerator pedal can become jammed in the fully open position.
Replace the accelerator pedal stop with a modified version.
ROOF BARS MAY SLIP
Possibility that roof bars may slip when bulky objects are placed on them
Recall affected vehicles and replace roof bars with modified type.
HEATER BLOWER MODULE - RISK OF FIRE
There is a possibility of defective components in the heater blower which could cause a short circuit and a loss of ventilation of the passenger compartment and in an extreme condition could set fire to the wiring harness.
Recall affected vehicles and replace heater blower module.
HANDBRAKE EFFICIENCY
The handbrake adjustment system may be unreliable which will reduce its efficiency under certain conditions.
Check adjust and/or replace the brake shoe mechanisms.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF ACCELERATION
There is a possibility of disengagement of the accelerator pedal from the support linkage which could result in loss of acceleration
Recall affected vehicles and replace accelerator pedal clips
POSSIBLE CRACKING OF ROAD WHEEL
Under severe operating conditions and high mileage the pressed aluminium road wheels may crack around the wheel fixing holes. This could ultimately result in the detachment of a wheel.
Replace the wheels with a modified type.
TRANSPOSED WIRING CONNECTIONS AT AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT.
The wiring connections to the left and right side lateral airbags may have been transposed. This could result in deployment of the incorrect airbag in a collision.
Check the wiring connections and correct them where found necessary.
POSSIBLE FIRE RISK IN HEATER BLOWER WIRING HARNESS
Inadequate protection of the heater blower wiring harness may result in chafing damage leading to a short circuit and risk of fire.
Check for correct routing of the blower wiring harness and fit a protective sleeve.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE BOTTOM ENGINE MOUNTING TIE BAR
An inadequate weld on the bottom engine mounting tie bar may fail and cause a serious engine vibration and separation of one of the driveshafts.
Fit a replacement bottom engine mounting tie bar.
WATER INGRESS INTO THE AIRBAG ECU
Water ingress into the airbag electronic control unit (ECU) could result in illumination of the warning light and in the worst case unintentional deployment of the airbag.
Seal the airbag ECU compartment.
ELECTRICAL SIGNAL COULD NEUTRALISE THE SLIDING DOOR SAFETY LOCK.
When the vehicle is moving an electrical signal could neutralise the sliding door safety lock and allow the door to open unintentionally.
Fit a replacement electronic control unit to the door.
BRAKE SERVO VACUUM PIPE MAY DETACH
Vacuum Servo Pipe may become detached resulting in loss of servo assistance
Replace vacuum pipe
POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT
Vehicles with the HDI engines but without the optional diesel fired heater may be fitted with the maxi-fuse supplying the fuel heater circuit. This can in certain cases lead to a short circuit and a consequential fire risk.
Remove the maxi-fuse.
INCORRECT WIRING CONNECTIONS TO AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT
Transposed wiring connections to the side air bags control unit will result in deployment of the air bag on the opposite side of an impact.
Correct the wiring connections.
WATER INGRESS MAY CAUSE ANTI LOCK BRAKE CONTROL UNIT TO MALFUNCTION
Water ingress to the ABS ECU connector may cause a malfunction of the anti lock braking system. In the worst case water contamination could cause a short circuit and fire in the ABS control unit.
Protect the ABS connector from water ingress. Replace the ABS ECU if found necessary.
PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT COMPLETELY DEPLOY
The front passenger air bag may not fully deploy in an impact.
Fit a replacement air bag.
