CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE MAY 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.

SIDE AIRBAG INITIATOR MAY BE DEFECTIVE
Affected vehicles may have been fitted with a defective side airbag initiator. This may cause the side airbag not to deploy in an accident.
On affected vehicles fit new side airbags.
CASTING DEFECT MAY CAUSE ALLOY WHEEL(S) TO CRACK
A small batch of alloy wheels may have a casting defect that may initiate a fatigue crack and result in wheel failure.
Check wheels on affected vehicles for a specific batch code. Replace those wheels which have the identified batch code.

BRAKE SERVO MAY FAIL
Affected vehicles may have been fitted with a brake booster which may have a faulty diaphragm plate. This could lead to a loss of brake servo assistance.
An affected brake booster can be identified by its date of manufacture. This can be found on a label on the brake booster. An affected brake booster must be removed and replaced a new one.
OIL SUMP MAY CRACK DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING
The engine control module calibration may not adequately detect an overheat condition in certain 2.0L Duratorq Diesel engines. In extreme cases an overheated engine can result in a breach of the oil sump leading to loss of the engine oil.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download revised software for the control module calibration that improves overheat detection and provides an instrument cluster warning indicator to the driver and engine de-rate strategy.
