FUEL MAY LEAK
There is a possibility that fuel may leak from a faulty recirculation pipe connector.
Recall affected vehicles to check and if required change pipe.
MANUFACTURERS PLATE INFORMATION INCORRECT
The manufacturer's plate information may refer to vehicles with a capacity of 8 hundred weight rather than 7 hundred weight.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the manufacturer's plate with one that is correct to the vehicle.
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.
ACCELERATOR MAY STICK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the accelerator pedal's rotation pin may not have been inserted correctly. In this condition the accelerator pedal might stick.
Recalled vehicles will have the accelerator pedal checked for the presence of the pin. Should the pin be found to be missing the accelerator pedal will be changed.
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.

REAR CROSS MEMBER WELDING MAY CRACK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a non conforming weld may be present on the vehicle's rear cross member with the fixing bracket for the wheel axle hub. This non conformity in time; could cause the weld to break and crack the rear cross member which could have an adverse effect on the vehicle's stability.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject cross member identification numbers and weld markings checked; to ascertain whether they conform. Should this not be the case the cross member will be replaced.
HEATER/CLIMATE CONTROL WIRING ABRASION MAY RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT.
It has been identified that the possibility exists of interference between the heater/climate control wiring and a dashboard bracket due to a missing retainer clip. In this condition abrasion of the wiring may occur with the attendant risk of an electrical short circuit
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for damage to the subject wiring which if this has occurred will be repaired and repositioned. In all cases a new clip will be fitted.
POSSIBIITY OF FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
A fire might occur in the engine compartment as a result of the waste gate excess pressure pipe being incorrectly routed.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected to ensure the waste gate pipe is correctly routed and fixed in the appropriate clips.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.

FRONT WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that water may ingress into the front windscreen wiper motor. Should this occur the wipers may become inoperative. In conditions of poor visibility this may result in impaired driver visibility.
Recalled vehicles will have the front windscreen wiper motor fitted with a protective cover.
TYRE VALVE MAY BREAK CAUSING RAPID DEFLATION (STEEL WHEELS)
It has been identified that due to manufacture from an incorrect material the tyre inflation valve may break. Should this occur rapid deflation of the tyre and possible vehicle instability would occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the tyre inflation valve replaced on all steel wheels including the spare.
STEERING COULD BECOME INCREASINGLY STIFF.
It has been identified that; due to a possible lack of lubricant between the steering rack and pinion the steering may become increasingly stiff to operate. This can eventually lead to damage to the steering rack teeth. As a consequence the steering operation of the vehicle may become increasingly difficult.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering rack inspected for damage. If no damage is evident the rack and pinion will be lubricated. Should any damage be in evidence the steering rack will be replaced.
FRONT SUSPENSION ARM MOUNTINGS - FAILURE OF WELD
There is a possibility that corrosion may be present near the welds for the front suspension arm front mountings on the front cross member.Should this be the case in time this could lead to noise whilst driving and the possibility that the weld could fail. Failure of the weld may lead to loss of vehicle stability.
Recalled vehicle will be checked to ascertain whether corrosion is present near the front suspension mountings. If this is found to be the case the front cross member will be replaced. If corrosion is not present a front cross member strengthening kit will be fitted.
ANTI-ROLL BAR BUSH WEAR
It has been identified that the front anti-roll bar bushes may wear after a period of time. Should this occur noise will be generated by contact between the anti-roll bar and the metal sleeve of the bush.
Recalled vehicles will have the front anti-roll bar replaced.
STEERING SWIVEL JOINT MAY FAIL RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
The possibility exists that the swivel joint stem of the front suspension vertical links maybe of an incorrect size. This can lead to the generation of noise whilst driving and the possibility of suspension disconnection following a violent impact to the front axle and subsequent loss of vehicle control.
Recalled vehicles will have the swivel joint stems checked for the presence of play and will be replaced if any is found.
BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE MAY BE REDUCED
It has been identified that due to the inlet filter for the exhaust gas recirculating valve (EGR) being in an exposed position there is a possibility of water entering the brake servo vacuum pipe. This can give rise to the possibility of ice forming within the pipe during periods of low ambient temperature with the possibility of reduced brake servo assistance.
Recalled vehicles will have the EGR valve solenoids checked for the presence of separate air filters. If this is not the case new solenoids with separate filters will be fitted.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Fuel delivery pipe adjacent to air filter may chafe. This in time could lead to leakage of fuel in the engine compartment and a consequent risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel delivery pipe and where necessary replace the pipe containment channel.
POSSIBILITY OF REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
Due to the inlet filter for the EGR valve being in an exposed position there is a possibility of water entering the brake servo vacuum pipe. This could result in the possibility of ice forming in the brake servo vacuum pipe in conditions of low ambient temperature. As a consequence this may lead to reduced servo assistance to the braking system.
Recalled vehicles will have the EGR solenoids checked for the presence of separate air filters. If theses are not evident new solenoids with separate air filters will be fitted.
STEERING COLUMN MAY BECOME DISCONNECTED
Incorrect profile (flaring) of the end of the steering shaft at the upper steering column universal joint. This may give the possibility of the steering column becoming disconnected from the universal joint with a consequent loss of vehicle steering.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the profile and flaring of the end of the steering shaft at the upper universal joint and where necessary renew the shaft.
