    HARD BRAKE PEDAL MAY OCCUR DURING ENGINE WARM UP

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised design of non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.

    RISK OF FIRE

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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.

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recalled vehicles will have the subject hose production code checked. The hose will be changed should it fall within the given criteria.
