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.
THE BATTERY CHARGE PROGRAM MAY NOT BE CORRECT TO SPECIFICATION
The battery charge program may not be correct to specification.
Updating the Stop Start function management software.
ANCILLARIES BELT TENSIONER MOUNTING MAY NOT BE CORRECT TO SPECIFICATION
Ancillaries drive belt tensioner mounting may not be correct to specification.
Check and if necessary replace the ancillaries drive belt tensioner.
Engine oil gallery sealing plug incorrectly tightened
On the affected vehicles the tightening of a sealing plug on the engine oil gallery may not be correct to specification.This could lead over time to an oil leak which in rare cases could result in oil leaking on to the road.
The remedy consists of tightening the engine oil gallery sealing plug to the correct torque.
Engine could overheat leading to failure
Engine could overheat leading to failure in extreme cases

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 MAY OVERHEAT
The engine electronic cooling management control strategy and the maximum temperature alert threshold could cause the engine to overheat. This could result in a warning light and a message being displayed on the instrument panel.
On affected vehicles download a new engine management software in order to modify the cooling management parameters to improve the control of the engine operating temperature.

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.

BONNET SKIN MAY BECOME INSECURE
The bonnet inner skin may not be adequately retained. This may cause the bonnet to vibrate or distort. In extreme cases the skin could detach.
On affected vehicles apply additional adhesive between the bonnet skin and its inner panel.
INGRESS OF WATER AND CORROSION MAY CAUSE THE WIPER MOTOR TO FAIL
A nonconformity of the windscreen wiper motor breather system could in some cases result in the entry of water and complete jamming of the motor due to internal corrosion.
On affected vehicles replace the wiper motor.
CORROSION WITHIN THE TAILGATE STRUT ASSEMBLY COULD CAUSE THE STRUT TO FAIL
Non-conformity of a tailgate strut internal component may allow corrosion to develop. This may cause the strut to fail and the tailgate may not be held open.
On affected vehicles replace the struts.
BONNET STRIKER MAY BE INSECURE
The striker wire on the bonnet lining may not have sufficient support to prove it with the security for its intended purpose. This can lead to incorrect locking of the bonnet over time and could result in an unintentional release of the bonnet.
On affected vehicles inspect and if requiredfit an additional strengthener to retain the striker cable on the inner panel of the bonnet. In some cases it may be necessary to replace the bonnet.
STARTER MOTOR SUPPLY WIRING HARNESS MAY BECOME DAMAGED
The positioning of the starter supply terminal may be incorrect. This may allow it to foul other components and cause a short circuit.
On affected vehicles check the positioning of the terminaL. Correct it if necessary and add additional protection.
STARTER SUPPLY WIRE MAY CHAFE
The positioning of the starter motor supply terminal may not conform to specification. Contact with a neighbouring component could cause a short circuit.
On affected vehicles check the position of the terminal and where necessary reposition. Replace damaged components if necessary.
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
Check the bonding of the front bumper lower trim and rectify or replace it if necessary
FUEL MAY LEAK
Due to a non conformity in production an engine fuel pie protective sleeve could cause wear due to contact with surrounding components.This may cause a fuel leak
On affected vehicles reposition the fuel pipe protective sleeve or replace the pipe if wear is noted.
STARTER MOTOR MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
A possible nonconformity of an internal component of the starter motor relay could affect the control of the starter motor. This could adversely affect the starting operation and damage the starter motor due to overheating and in extreme cases there is a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace the starter motor relay.

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 UNINTENTIONALLY
It has been identified that the striker wire on the bonnet lining may not have sufficient support to prove it with the security for its intended purpose. This can lead to incorrect locking of the bonnet over time and could result in an unintentional release of the bonnet. The driver will received early warning signs or symptoms by the incorrect locking of the bonnet.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect and if required an additional strengthener to retain the striker cable on the inner panel of the bonnet. In some cases there maybe a requirement to replace the bonnet.
BONNET MAY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY
It has been identified that the bonnet striker support may corrode. If this corrosion is not treated there is a possibility the bonnet striker support may fail which will allow the bonnet to open whilst the vehicle is in motion. Early warning signs or symptoms of corrosion can be seen by the driver around the bonnet striker support and on the leading edge of the bonnet also the bonnet may not lock correctly.
Recall affected vehicles to inspect the area around the bonnet striker support and take preventive action to protect the area from corrosion which may include the replacement of the bonnet if required.
