HARD BRAKE PEDAL MAY OCCUR DURING ENGINE WARM UP
During engine warm up it is possible that the non return valve within the vacuum pump may stick. It is possible that if sufficient brake applications are made before the valve releases the vacuum stored within the brake booster will be used up and a hard brake pedal and longer stopping distances may result.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised design of non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.

ABS MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
The brakes may lock up under emergency braking conditions due to valves in the hydraulic control unit being of incorrect specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hydraulic control unit.

RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that due to a specification change to the engine cooling fan module vehicles operated in countries which have high road salt usage during the winter months may experience an increased risk of corrosion build up. In extreme cases the corrosion can penetrate the electrical circuits and result in overheating. In rare cases the overheating may be sufficient to ignite the cooling fan control module and surrounding wiring whilst the vehicle is parked.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a supplementary wiring loom that removes the power to the fan control module when the ignition is switched off. Additionally a further water shield will be fitted to protect the module against water entry and corrosion build up.
RISK OF REAR BRAKE LOCKUP
It has been identified that the rear brake back plate bolts may not have been tightened to the specified torque. Should a back plate bolt fall into the brake drum damage to the brake linings and or wheel lockup could occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear brake back plate bolts checked to ensure that they have been tightened to the specified torque.
FAILURE OF POWER STEERING HOSE COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE BAY FIRE
It has been identified that a batch of vehicles may have been fitted with section of power assisted steering hose that is not to specification. This could result in premature failure of the hose with loss of steering assistance and in extreme cases the possibility of an engine bay fire occasioned by escaping hydraulic fluid coming into contact with hot components.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject hose production code checked. The hose will be changed should it fall within the given criteria.

Recalled vehicles will have the subject hose production code checked. The hose will be changed should it fall within the given criteria.
TIPPER BED COULD RAISE WITHOUT WARNING
It has been identified that the tipper bed could raise without warning due to a concern with the power system module (PSM).
Recalled vehicles will have the PSM replaced.
REAR HUB BOLT MAY BECOME LOOSE
The rear hub retaining bolts may become loose because some bolts are not to the required specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear hub retaining bolts with those of a revised specification.
POWER STEERING MAY FAIL WITH ENSUING RISK OF FIRE
It has been established thatthe high pressure connection to the power assisted steering pump could detach. Should this incur loss of steering assistance would ensue. Additionally hydraulic fluid could leak onto the exhaust with the attendant risk of fire.
To prevent such an occurrence recalled vehicles will have the subject power assisted steering pipe fitted with a retaining collar.
AXLE SHAFT MAY DETACH
Excessive axle shaft end play which can be identified by excessive noise and changes in vehicle handling could possibly if not detected lead to detachment of the axle shaft retaining clip and result in the shaft 'walking out' of the axle.
Recall all affected vehicle for the replacement of the axle shaft retaining clip by a modified replacement.
GLASS ROOF PANEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the panoramic glass roof panel may not have been correctly bonded to the vehicle. Should this be the case the roof panel could detach.
Recalled vehicles will have the panoramic glass roof panel renewed.
GLASS ROOF PANEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the panoramic glass roof panel may not have been correctly bonded to the vehicle. Should this be the case the roof panel could detach.
Recalled vehicles will have the panoramic glass roof panel renewed.
ELECTRONIC COOLING FAN CONTROL MODULE MAY OVERHEAT
In markets where salt is used on roads in winter corrosion may form and propagate into the electronic fan control module and in extreme cases may cause the module to overheat. In rare cases the overheating may be sufficient to ignite the module surrounding wiring and components.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the cooling fan and motor assembly.
SEAT BELT MOUNTING BRACKET BOLT MAY FAIL
Concern that the front seat belt outer fixing may not have been installed to manufacturer's specification.
Recall all affected vehicles for mounting to be inspected and retorque of the mounting bolt.
ROLL OVER PROTECTION MAY FAIL
It has been identified that on affected vehicles the roll over protection system securing bolts may either be loose or not fully tight. In this condition the roll over protection may not be fully effective in the event of a roll over occurring.
Recalled vehicles will have the protection units checked for the correct number of securing bolts with bolts being installed as necessary. In addition all securing bolts will be checked to ensure that they are tightened to the correct specification.
IN LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE HARD BRAKE PEDAL MAY OCCUR
Hard brake pedal may occur in low ambient temperatures which is caused by a non return valve in the vacuum pump sticking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.
IN LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE HARD BRAKE PEDAL MAY OCCUR
Hard brake pedal may occur in low ambient temperatures which is caused by a non return valve in the vacuum pump sticking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.

POWER STEERING MAY BE LOST
It has been identified that the power steering pump drive belts could de-laminate and fail. Should this occur drive to the power steering pump would be lost likewise the assistance to the steering.
Recalled vehicles will have the power steering drive belts checked and renewed should they be found to be within the affected batch.
