POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES
Possible interference between the fuel supply and return lines.
Reposition the pipes to avoid interference.
IF REAR SEAT BELTS ARE NOT FASTENED AND PRETENSIONERS ARE DEPLOYED THE LATCH COULD BE RELEASED
In case of an accident if the rear seat belts are not fastened i.e. if the rear seat is not occupied by a passenger or is occupied by a child restraint system coupled only to the Isofix anchors and the pretensioners are deployed the rear seat latch could be released. The contents of the rear luggage area if unsecured could enter the cabin area
Replace the latch bezels with bezels the shape of which prevents the seat belts from interfering with the latch and releasing the seat in the event of a pretensioner deployment.
ENGINE SUSPENSION REACTION BRACKET NOT FITTED ON THE TRANSMISSION SIDE
Some vehicles were assembled without the engine suspension reaction bracket fitted on the transmission side. The vehicles must be repaired by fitting the missing components (transmission reaction bracket and washer). The defect can be detected by noise and vibration being emitted from the front area of the vehicle. If ignored a possible consequence is a failed differential box resulting in oil leakage and in some cases the drive shaft could become disengaged and drop below the vehicle whilst in motion.
Fit the missing components (transmission reaction bracket and washer).
DOOR LOCKS MAY MALFUNCTION AND ALLOW DOORS TO OPEN UNINTENTIONALLY
On a number of Fiat Fullback vehicles in some weather conditions (high temperatures) the mechanism inside the door lock may not function as intended. This can allow the door(s) to open unintentionally.
The door locks must be replaced with compliant components.
INTERCOOLER SLEEVE MAY DETACH FROM THE THROTTLE BODY
The intercooler sleeve may detach from the throttle body. The engine management warning light will illuminate and a loss of power may occur.
On affected vehicles replace the current retainer with a new version to ensure the sleeve connection between intercooler sleeve and throttle body.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY DISPLAY INCORRECT INFORMATION
Due to a nonconformity in the production process the instrument cluster may stick and display incorrect speed information.
On affected vehicles replace the instrument cluster.
REPLACE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING
Due to a non-conformity in the production process the electrical power steering (EPS) must be replaced. This will prevent a potential loss of steering assistance. Loss of EPS functionality could increase the risk of a collision occurring.
Replace the Electrical Power Steering unit
SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER WIRING MAY BECOME DAMAGED AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT-CIRCUIT
On some Fiat 500L vehicles a layout non-conformity could cause abrasion of the supplementary heater (PTC) wiring. This could result in possible electric short-circuiting with the possibility of a loss of some vehicle safety. In the worst case it could cause a vehicle fire..
Apply a cut-proof sheath on the supplementary heater wiring to protect it from abrasions.
EGR PIPE COULD FRACTURE DUE TO A POTENTIAL NON-CONFORMITY
The EGR pipe could fracture due to a potential non-conformity the fractured pipe may damage the alternator resulting in a loss of battery voltage and potentially a loss of engine power.
The pipe must be checked and if incorrect replaced with a new part.
FRONT SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER MAY MALFUNCTION DURING DEPLOYMENT
Due to a non-conformity in the supplier's production process the front seat belt pretensioner could malfunction in the event of a collision.
Correct operation will be restored by applying a service kit designed for this purpose. Affected vehicles will be recalled to have this fitted.
DRIVER AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY
The driver�s airbag was manufactured with an incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiator that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a �non-deployment� of the driver airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment which could increase the risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver airbag unit (initiator included) with a quality assured unit.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver airbag unit (initiator included) with a quality assured unit.
CAMSHAFT MAY FAIL
Due to an error in the production process the engine camshaft may break.
Check affected vehicles and where necessary replace the camshaft.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The transmission could unexpectedly switch to the N position due to a nonconformity in the transmission wiring assembly process.
On affected vehicles reprogram the transmission control module. Where necessary replace the transmission wiring
INCORRECT LOAD CAPACITY LISTED FOR INTERIOR HOOKS
It has been identified that the maximum load capacity for the load restraint hooks in the load compartment of the vehicle has been incorrectly written in the Owner Handbook. The correct load capacity is 500 daN and not the 625 daN as written. If the correct load capacity of 500 daN is not adhered to then the load hooks may not retain the load due to overloading. This could result in an unsecured load with the potential for loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to attach a load capacity label within the load compartment and install an additional amended page to the Owner Handbook.
STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It has been identified that due to the non-conforming layout of the airbag wiring and missing cut-proof protection the airbag wiring may interfere with the steering wheel wiring terminal. This can cause the abrasion of the wiring itself. This abrasion may cause a short-circuit and consequent inadvertent deployment of the steering wheel airbag.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the airbag wiring and apply cut proof padded tape.
REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE
It has been identified that the rear brake shoe lining material may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. This could result in a reduction in brake performance from the rear brakes.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the conformity of the brake linings and if found to be incorrect replace with new brake shoes which meet the correct conformity.
TRANSMISSION MOUNT MAY FAIL
It has been identified that due to a nonconformity in the transmission casing mount material there is a possibility that the casting may fail. This may affect the control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the mounting with new quality assured item.
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).

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).
AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
In the event of a significant frontal collision the driver's airbag may not deploy correectly due to a non-conformity which occurred in the supplier's production process. The airbag when deployed may cause injury to the driver due to contaminated parts within the airbag module.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag inflator.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS MAY BE DEACTIVATED
In some circumstances the driver and passenger may experience consequent switching off of the instrument panel light and possible deactivation of other electronic systems such as the ABS and airbags. The concern is caused by loose connections at the ignition switch contact holder block.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the ignition switch contact holder block.
POWER STEERING PUMP MAY FAIL
The batch number of the power steering pump must be checked and if found to be from a faulty batch replaced. On the faulty batches there is nonconformity of the external supply and in certain circumstances the power steering pump may fail causing the driver to use additional input to steer the vehicle therefore delaying the directional movement of the vehicle.
Check the production date of the pump and if the power steering pump is from a faulty batch replace the pump.
HEADLIGHTS MAY FAIL
In some circumstances the headlights can switch off without warning which will increase the risk of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the Body Computer with new improved software.
FUEL MAY LEAK
After repeated activation of the fuel heater cover in cold conditions an electric connector the fuel heater cover may overheat. This may allow air ingress which could cause difficulty starting the engine or engine stalling. In extreme cases fuel may leak onto the road surface.
Check the condition of the heated diesel filter cover and connector. If deteriorated or damaged replace the cover or connector.
