SECOND AXLE LOWER SPRING ARM CONCERN
In some cases fitment of nylon thrust washers may allow excessive lateral movement of the second axle suspension lower spring arms. This could loosen the fixing bolts at the spring eye bracket and affect the steering control.
Fit an extra support bracket at the spring eye bracket and new thrust washers.
POSSIBLE DISPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS
The front brake disc pad retaining spring may break and allow the disc pads to become displaced. The broken parts of the spring may also damage the tyre valve.
Replace the brake pad retaining springs with quality assured parts.
FUEL RETURN PIPE MAY FRACTURE AND LEAK
There is a possibility that due to vibration the steel fuel return pipe to fuel filter may fracture and leak. Fuel may be deposited upon the engine and ignite.
Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel return pipe with a flexible pipe.
BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MAY CRACK
There is a possibility that the brake pedal bracket could crack and lead to a malfunction of the brake pedal.
Recall affected vehicles for inspection and if required replacement of the brake pedal bracket with an improved version.
BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MAY CRACK
There is a possibility that the brake pedal bracket could crack and lead to a malfunction of the brake pedal.
Recall affected vehicles for inspection and if required replacement of the brake pedal bracket with an improved version.
BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MAY CRACK
There is a possibility that the brake pedal bracket could crack and lead to a malfunction of the brake pedal.
Recall affected vehicles for inspection and if required replacement of the brake pedal bracket with an improved version.
STEERING LEVER SECURITY CONCERN
On a small number of vehicles the front axle offside and nearside track rod lever bolts are of incorrect quality and could fail which could lead to the track rod lever coming adrift.
Recall affected vehicles and fit quality assured replacement bolts.
CONCERN THAT THE STEERING MIGHT LOCK
The steering lock barrel retaining pin may become displaced and cause the steering lock to engage. Should the lock barrel come out of its housing directional control would be affected.
The steering column lock will be secured with the addition of a retaining clip.

The steering column lock will be secured with the addition of a retaining clip.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
A number of service exchange steering boxes may fail due to the incorrect position of a circlip of the bevel box which could lead to the input shaft and gear to detach resulting in the loss of steering control.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a new quality assured bevel box.

Recall affected vehicles and fit a new quality assured bevel box.
REAR NEARSIDE ROAD WHEEL STUDS MAY FAIL
The rear nearside road wheel retaining nuts may have been over torqued which could result in failure of the wheel studs.
Replace the rear nearside road wheel studs and nuts and tighten to the correct torque.
STEERING DRAG LINK AND TRACK ROD BALL JOINT CLAMP BOLTS MAY LOOSEN AND AFFECT THE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
The nuts securing the drag link and track rod ball joint clamps may not have been pre-treated. As a result the tightness torque could be too low and the nuts could loosen which in extreme cases could lead to loss of steering.
Replace suspect nuts/bolts with correct version.
STEERING DRAG LINK AND TRACK ROD BALL JOINT CLAMP BOLTS MAY LOOSEN AND AFFECT THE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
The nuts securing the drag link and track rod ball joint clamps may not have been pre-treated. As a result the tightness torque could be too low and the nuts could loosen which in extreme cases could lead to loss of steering.
Replace suspect nuts/bolts with correct version.
STEERING DRAG LINK AND TRACK ROD BALL JOINT CLAMP BOLTS MAY LOOSEN AND AFFECT THE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
The nuts securing the drag link and track rod ball joint clamps may not have been pre-treated. As a result the tightness torque could be too low and the nuts could loosen which in extreme cases could lead to loss of steering.
Replace suspect nuts/bolts with correct version.
STEERING DRAG LINK AND TRACK ROD BALL JOINT CLAMP BOLTS MAY LOOSEN AND AFFECT THE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
The nuts securing the drag link and track rod ball joint clamps may not have been pre-treated. As a result the tightness torque could be too low and the nuts could loosen which in extreme cases could lead to loss of steering.
Replace suspect nuts/bolts with correct version.
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
The glow plug relay bracket can break due to vibration with a risk of causing a short circuit which may lead to the wires igniting.
Replace with an improved thicker bracket.
POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF BRAKE DISC FROM FRONT HUB
The bolts securing the disc to the front hub are of incorrect quality and could fail with the result of the brake disc being no longer secured to the hub.
Replace all suspect bolts with improved version.
LOOSE BUMPER FIXINGS MAY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL
The nuts securing the front underrun protection bumper may not have been tightened sufficiently which could lead to loosening of the fixing bolts and affecting steering control.
Recall affected vehicles remove fixing bolts apply Loctite and retorque to correct figure.
BRAKE CHAMBER DRAIN PLUG
Front disc brakes air chamber drain plug was not removed during production. Consequently and condensate may freeze under extremely cold conditions and impair the effectiveness of the brake.
Recall affected vehicles and remove the brake chamber drain plug.
BALL JOINT TO TRACK ROD CONNECTION MAY BECOME LOOSE
The double thread connection balljoint to the track rod can become loose caused by insufficient torquing in production.
Recall affected vehicles and undo and retighten the clamp bolt with 170 Nm plus or minus 10 Nm torque. In cases where the threaded connection is loose already renew the track rod and reset the toe-in.
UNSCHEDULED ACTIVATION OF STARTER MOTOR WHEN IN MOTION
The starter motor may be accidentally activated as a result of the ignition switch wires shorting on the loom connector and pneumatic switch mounting plates on the steering column.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for the fitment of clips/tie wraps and protective trim on the steering column/pneumatic switch plate to secure and protect the wiring loom.
CRACKING OF FRONT AXLE U BOLTS
On a small batch of vehicles the material quality of the front U bolts is suspect and may result in cracking of the bolts.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the U bolts replaced with quality assured examples.
POSSIBILITY OF THROTTLE STICKING
It is possible that the throttle may not return to the idle position when the accelerator pedal is released.
