SEAT MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED DURING A COLLISION
The seat may not remain in position when subjected to greater than normal driving forces such as those involved in an impact. This may possibly cause injury to the driver/passenger seated in the right hand front seat. The right hand front seat guides may not conform to design specification and installation specifications.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the installation of the original seat guide. If it does not conform replace the seat cushion structure (guide).

FRONT SEATBELTS MAY NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED
It has been identified that the front seatbelt anchorage links may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. If the link is subjected to an abnormal force then it may not perform as required.
Recall all the affected vehicles to check the link and if required replace it.

Recall all the affected vehicles to check the link and if required replace it.
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR VEHICLE LIGHTING MAY FAIL
It is possible under extreme conditions that the wiring harness under the dashboard could come into contact with the steering column. This over a period of time may result in the chaffing of wires in the harness. If this should occur then it is possible both the exterior and instrument lights could fail.
Recall all affected vehicles to provide additional security of the wiring loom.

FUEL MAY LEAK LEADING IN EXTREME CASES TO FIRE
The fuel pump protection bracket is not to conformity and in the event of an accident the fuel feed pipe could be damaged leading to an increased risk of fuel leakage and possible fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel pump feed protection bracket and reposition the fuel feed pipe.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A connector on the brake servo pipe may fail and cause a loss of vacuum assistance necessitating the driver to include additional effort when braking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new brake servo pipe.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The upper fork on the steering shaft fork may not have been correctly fixed/'staked' onto the shaft. This may cause a knock from the steering and in extreme cases the fork may separate from the shaft and result in loss of steering control.
To check the shaft for the presence of the 2 'Stake' markings.
THE WRONG AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY IN A COLLISION
In the case of a side impact the wrong airbag could deploy as a result of a software non-compliance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to apply a software update.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The steering column upper shaft fixing bolt may not have had thread locking agent applied to it during assembly. This may allow it to come loose causing a noise. In extreme cases this may result in a loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit a bolt affixed with pre applied locking compound.
RISK OF REAR BRAKE LOCK UP
It has been identified that on subject vehicles the rear brake back plate retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. Should the bolts work loose this can result in noise illumination of the ABS warning light and in extreme cases wheel lock.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts checked and tightened to the correct specification.
FUEL MAY LEAK FROM MANIFOLD
Fuel may leak as on some engines the fuel manifolds may not be to specification. If the fuel manifold leaks it is possible that a loss of power could occur and the engine cut out.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the fuel manifold and check it for conformity to specification. Where necessary replace the fuel manifold.
