UN-FUSED BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM WIRE CHAFING
Un-fused Battery Monitoring System (BMS) Wire Chafing.
Visual inspection of the BMS wiring and replace the wire if damage is identified. Cloth tape is to be used to wrap the BMS wiring and install a wiring harness retaining clip on all vehicles

RUPTURED FLEXIBLE FRONT BRAKE HOSES MAY OCCUR DURING SUSPENSION AND STEERING ARTICULATIONS
Ruptured flexible front brake hoses may occur from cyclic fatigue.
Replace the front brake hoses with a redesigned component.
OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD MAY CAUSE THE CYLINDER HEAD TO CRACK
localized overheating of the engine cylinder head may cause the cylinder head to crack.This may cause a pressurized oil leak which in extreme circumstances could result in a fire in the engine compartment.
A coolant level sensor needs to be fitted to provide an audible and visual warning to the customer and in extreme circumstances reduce the engine power.

BOLTS FIXING FRONT SUSPENSION TO VEHICLE MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED TO CORRECT TORQUE
Bolts fixing the front suspension to the vehicle may not be tightened to the correct torque.
The front suspension bolts must be inspected and set to the correct torque.
VEHICLE COULD SUFFER CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE FRACTURE
A number of vehicles fitted with a 1.0 1.5 or 1.6 Ecoboost engine and 6-speed manual transmission could suffer clutch pressure plate fracture. This results in clutch smell reduced vehicle speed and performance. In the unlikely event of clutch pressure plate fracture a noise (thud / bang) could be heard from the vicinity of the transmission in extreme cases resulting in clutch / transmission fragments being released and striking under hood components creating a risk of smoke and fire from the under hood area.
To prevent the repeated heating /cooling events a new calibration has been developed for vehicles fitted with Engine Stop Start feature. The software with the additional feature sets the Instrument panel �Wrench light� and de-rates the engine performance if prolonged clutch slip is detected. The software feature includes a drive cycle strategy for latching the wrench light and engine performance de-rate if the customer should experience repeated clutch slip events. For vehicles that do not have Engine Stop Start feature an alternative clutch kit has been released.
