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
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.
WIPERS / LIGHTS/ BATTERY CHARGING MAY BE AFFECTED.
An incorrect engine relay unit may have been fitted. This ECU could deteriorate and cause operating faults and perhaps failure of certain equipment
Recall affected vehicles check Engine Relay Unit and replace if not correct specification.
WIPERS / LIGHTS/ BATTERY CHARGING MAY BE AFFECTED.
An incorrect engine relay unit may have been fitted. This ECU could deteriorate and cause operating faults and perhaps failure of certain equipment
Recall affected vehicles check Engine Relay Unit and replace if not correct specification.
FRONT SUSPENSION WISHBONE COULD BECOME LOOSE
The tightening torque for the front suspension wishbone mounting bolts has proved insufficient. This can lead to loosening represented by abnormal noise
Recall affected vehicles and retorque front suspension wishbone bolts

Recall affected vehicles and retorque front suspension wishbone bolts
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.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL RETURNS TOO SLOWLY
It has been identified that the accelerator pedal can return too slowly. This can have an effect on the driving of the vehicle
Recalled vehicles will have the accelerator pedal replaced.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
This concern relates to right hand drive vehicles only. There may cases of the brake linkage lever being defectively assembled which may result in a loss of braking efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected check and where necessary reposition the brake pedal relay linkage lever.
SUSPENSION SPRINGS MAY BREAK
In the exceptional event of a spring breaking there could be a risk of the spring making contact with the vehicle tyre.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a suspension cup to each side of the front suspension.
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.
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.
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.
FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINT CONCERN
The front suspension lower ball joint pinch bolts may not have been fully tightened. In the worst case separation of the ball joint from the suspension arm would affect directional control of the vehicle.
Check the ball joint pinch bolts for correct torque and tighten where necessary.
