HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a disconnection of the handbrake cable may occur which can result in the handbrake becoming inefficient.
Recalled vehicles will have the fitment of the handbrake cable to the actuating lever checked. If found to be incorrect the situation will be rectified. If the handbrake cable is found to be damaged it will be replaced.
ENGINE POWER MAY BE LOST
It is possible that breakage of the ancillary devices pulley on the crankshaft may occur. Should this happen there is the possibility that engine power and functions such as power assisted steering and braking assistance may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft pulley inspected and changed should this be necessary.

DROPSIDE PANEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the possibility exists that breakage of the dropside hinge fastening plate may occur on vehicles fitted with a factory installed dropside body. This can result in the detachment of the dropside panel.
Subject vehicles will be recalled at which time the hinge fastening plates will be changed.
POSSIBILITY OF A FUEL LEAK AND RISK OF FIRE
Due to the incorrect profiling of a rigid fuel pipe at the quick fit connection with the flexible fuel pipe for the injection manifold. The possibility exists that a fuel leak may develop at the connector and result in a fire in the engine compartment.
Recalled vehicles will have a locking insert fitted within the quick fit connector in order to prevent the connector from becoming loose.
FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER MAY FRACTURE
It has been identified that the chassis front cross member may have a weld which does not conform to specification. This may lead to a creaking noise being heard under braking and could in time lead to the cross member cracking in the area of it's mounting to the vehicle's body.
Recalled vehicles will have the front cross member replaced.
SUSPENSION COIL SPRINGS MAY BREAK
Under environmental conditions that require the intensive use of salt on the roads corrosive deposits may infiltrate the rubber plate which supports the front suspension springs initiating seats of corrosion which may lead to the spring breaking after a period of time.
To avoid damage to a tyre in the event of spring breakage a plate will be fitted which will contain the spring.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING
There is a possibility that the weld on the steering shaft at the lower universal joint fitting maybe absent. If there is an absent of the weld at the joint this may lead to a loss of steering.
Recall affected vehicles and inspect steering shaft to ensure weld is present if not renew steering shaft.
U-BOLTS ON REAR AXLE MAY BREAK
The U bolts securing the leaf spring to the rear axle may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in the U bolts breaking.
Recalled vehicles will have the U bolts checked to ensure there is no damage and that they have been tightened to the correct torque.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
It may be possible for the handbrake cable to foul the rigid brake pipe at the right hand rear suspension arm. In time this could lead to wear of the rigid brake pipe and as a consequence there maybe a loss of brake fluid and longer stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the routing of the handbrake cable and fit rubber pads to the rigid brake pipe to prevent fouling.
SUSPENSION COIL SPRING MAY BREAK
Under environmental conditions that require intensive use of salt on the roads corrosive deposits accumulate inside the noise-insulating protective sheath located on the front suspension springs creating areas of corrosion which may lead to the spring breaking after a period of time.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front coil springs with those of a new type.
ROUTING OF BRAKE VACUUM PIPE MAY BE INCORRECT
In some cases due to the non compliant routing of the brake servo vacuum supply pipe damage to the pipe may occur with the possibility that braking assistance might be reduced.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject pipe checked and re-routed. Should any damage be found the pipe will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF INADVERTENT AIRBAG ACTIVATION
The air conditioning condenser drainpipe may in some instances become blocked with the possibility that the condensate may leak into the passenger compartment and the air bag central control unit. This contamination may cause the air bag warning light to illuminate and in some cases; cause inadvertent activation of the air bag.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the condensate drainpipe will be refitted; and re-profiled to remove any restriction.
SOUND DEADENING GUARD MAY BECOME DETACHED
It is possible for the fastenings of the sound deadening guard to become loose. Consequently the guard could become detached whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace all the fastenings with new captive fasteners and bolts.
BRAKE VACUUM ASSISTANCE MAY REDUCE
In some cases due to the non-compliance of the engine ECU software the engine failure warning lamp may illuminate. As a consequence the vacuum assistance available to the braking system may be reduced.
Recall affected vehicles and re-programme the engine ECU with updated software.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING
Excess play between steering rack and pinion leading to noise and possible loss of steering when parking.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering pinion bearing preload adjusted or the steering rack assembly will be replaced as necessary

REAR SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE POINT NOT CONFORMING
The rear seat belt anchorage points do not conform to specification which could in the event of a collision result in the insecurity of the seat belt.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and upgrade the seat belt anchorage to the correct specification by the fitment of an additional bracket.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE FLUIDS AND EXTENDED PEDAL TRAVEL
The brake hoses may chafe on the wheel aches and in extreme cases cause a brake fluid leak. The driver will be informed of the defect by the illumination of a warning lamp on the dashboard. If ignored then this will result in longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the affected vehicles and visually inspect the front brake hoses reinforcement and protection. The brake hoses if worn will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COULD FOUL ON THE FLOOR
Possibility that the accelerator may foul on the floor mounted pedal stop
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and fit a modified throttle pedal stop.
POSSIBILITY OF LEAKAGE FROM FUEL TANK DUE TO CORROSION
Possibility of fuel leakage from the fuel tank due to corrosion
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the fuel tank will be inspected for corrosion. Should corrosion be found the fuel tank will be replaced.
FRONT HUB SECURITY
Front hub nut security pin may have been incorrectly fitted.
Recall affected vehicles check for correct fitment of pin and replace if necessary
