FRONT SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The front suspension wishbones fixing bolts may not be to the correct specification which could lead to a risk of them breaking. This may affetc the driver's ability to control the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the wishbone fixing bolts.
LOSS OF CONTROL
In the event of emergency braking or during an ESP regulation phase (e.g. avoiding manoeuvre) the hydraulic block may not prevent the locking of a wheel which could affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the braking system hydraulic block
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel injectors supply rail could develop a leak over a period of time leading to a drop in fuel pressure in the injector supply rail which can affect the operation of the stop start system. In some extreme cases the engine might not restart and a spray of petrol under the bonnet may occur which is a fire risk.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fuel injector supply rail. Where necessary replace the fuel injector supply rail.
SEAT BELT BUCKLE STRAP MAY FAIL
The seat belt buckle fitted to the second row rear seat/s may have been damaged during the production process at the supplier. In the event of an impact the seat belt buckle strap could fail and not restrain the occupant correctly.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the batch numbers and where necessary replace the seat belt buckle.
DOOR MAY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY
A manufacturing defect in one of the components of the door locks could cause jamming of the internal mechanism and prevent the closing of one or more of the vehicle's doors. In rare cases the door could unlock and open unexpectedly.
On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace door locks.

On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace door locks.
OIL LEAK MAY DAMAGE ENGINE
An oil leak could develop at the turbocharger lubrication union retaining bolt due to a non-conformity of this part.
On affected vehicles replace the turbocharger lubrication union bolt and its seals.
OIL LEAK MAY DAMAGE ENGINE
An oil leak could develop at the turbocharger lubrication union retaining bolt due to a non-conformity of this part.
On affected vehicles replace the turbocharger lubrication union bolt and its seals.
SEATBELT MAY FAIL
The tightening torque for the front and rear right hand seat belt lower mountings may not be correct to specification. This could lead to the mountings detaching and in a collision additional injury to the driver.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and rectify the tightening torques for the front and rear right hand seat belt lower mountings.
DOORS MAY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY
A manufacturing defect of a component within any of the four door locks could result in jamming of the internal mechanism which prevents the closing of any of the vehicle's doors or risk unexpected unlocking and opening of the doors.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the affected door locks.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel filter's integrated heater may be defective and could cause the cover to distort. This could cause air ingress and fuel egress. Either could cause poor starting and a warning light should illuminate
On affected vehicles replace fuel heater cover. Check and if necessary replace connector.

On affected vehicles replace fuel heater cover. Check and if necessary replace connector.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL
The fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones may not be to the correct specification. This could lead to the bolts failing and the security of the wishbones being compromised. If this occurs there is a possibility that the directional control of the vehicle could be adversely affected.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected and replace all the fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones.
THE INCORRECT GEAR MAYBE SELECTED
It has been identified that the reverse gear locking collar on the gear lever may not have been manufacturered to specification. This could result the incorret selection of gears.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the locking collar.
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.

Recall all the affected vehicles and retorque the high pressure fuel rail pipes.
SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER
It has been establish that a build up of deposits within the engine can result in engine running and starting issues. In extreme circumstances it can cause a sudden engine stall without any warning.
Recall all affected vehicle and install a new software package in the engine management system.
REAR BRAKE CALLIPER MOUNTING BOLTS MAY BE TORQUED INCORRECTLY
The rear brake caliper mounting bolts may not be to the required torque. Therefore the bolts may slacken and cause noise.
Recall the vehicles are likely to be affected to replace the rear caliper mounting bolts and ensure they are correctly torqued.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The torque settings of the fixings of the front suspension fuel tank fuel cooler and the rear wheels have been set incorrectly. Consequences of the incorrect torque settings include abnormal noise and poor operation of the vehicle.
Retighten to the correct torque value the front suspension fixings fuel tank fixings fuel cooler fixing and rear wheel bolts.
RISK OF FIRE
The starter motor wiring harness may be subject to long term wear due to rubbing. This can cause electrical problems or in the worst case a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to add further protection to the starter motor wiring harness.
SUSPENSION BOLT TORQUE MAY BE INCORRECT
The front suspension lower arms may not be fully secure as the mounting bolts may not have been tightened correctly. The driver will initially be alerted to there being a concern because of the abnormal noise that will develop. If the noise is ignored over a long period it is possible the suspension lower arms may detach.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the suspension bolts and tighten them to the correct torque.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
The supply terminal to the engine relay unit may have been over tightened and over time this could damage the component and cause the engine to cut out. In addition this could cause the diagnostic warning lamp to illuminate in error and it may make it more difficult to start the engine.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary replace the engine relay unit.
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.
