LOSS OF CONTROL
The tyres fitted to affected vehicles are incompatible with the weight capacity of the vehicle. This may cause a tyre failure due to incorrect loading of the vehicle.
Replace existing tyres with those of a load index compatible with the vehicle's weight capacity.
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.
UNINTENDED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
Following deactivation of the passenger airbag via the dashboard menu with the ignition on the passenger airbag may be reactivated following a fast cycling (less than 2 seconds) of the ignition key (on-off-on). The passenger airbag deactivation warning light would also have been switched off but the driver may not notice. In a collision and in certain conditions an unintended airbag deployment may contribute to a loss of further control or injury to driver and/or passengers.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag control unit.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag control unit.
POTENTIAL FIRE
The fuel return pipe connector at the injectors may overtime wear and leak. The leaking fuel is a fire risk and also could be hazardous to other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return pipe.
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.

Recall all affected vehicles to provide additional security of the wiring loom.
FRONT WIPER MAY FAIL
An internal fault with the wiper motor could cause it to stop working. In some rare cases the windscreen wipers may stop working while in operation.
Recall affected vehicles and check the manufacturing date of the wiper motor and add a supplementary earth wiring harness if necessary.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
On certain vehicles the front brake discs may not be the required thickness for the vehicle definition. This concern may result in reduced braking efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the front brake discs.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
It has been identified that the hand brake lever may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. It could result in the vehicle rolling away.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the hand brake assembly with a new quality controlled assembly
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.
LOSS OF STEERING
The steering column to steering wheel shaft may not have been assembled correctly. If not corrected noise and play will become apparent and if these warnings are not acted on eventually steering control could be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary refit the steering column correctly to the steering wheel shaft.
DOOR PANEL MAY CAUSE INJURY
In the event of a side impact on a small number of vehicles fitted with the Sabelt seat option the door side panels may break in an unsuitable way and possibly cause injury to the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the door panels.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
REAR SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
During the assembly of the vehicle it is possible the right hand rear suspension coil spring was damaged. Over time any damage could lead to the failure of the coil spring.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the coil spring.
BODY SECURING BRACKETS MAY FAIL
The lower fastening brackets which secure the body to the chassis are not manufactured to specification. As a result the brackets may fail and render the body not fully secure.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the body securing brackets with ones manufactured to specification.
REAR AXLE MAY MOVE
It is possible the rear axle leaf spring retaining bolts were not tightened to the correct specification during production. This could allow movement between the axle and leaf spring. In extreme circumstances this could cause the vehicle to lose control.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the U bolts with new items and tighten them to the correct specification.
POWER ASSISTANCE TO STEERING MAY BE LOST
The wiring for the power steering electric pump may interfere with the edge of the left front wheel arch. This may cause damage to the wiring and a loss of power steering assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected so the wiring can be placed in a protective pipe. The wiring and pipe will then be secured in the correct position.
SPARE WHEEL MAY DETACH
The spare wheel located under the vehicle may become detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the spare wheel lifting and securing mechanism.
