PARKING BRAKE RATCHET CONCERN
The design of the parking brake ratchet teeth can allow a partial engagement resulting in damage to the tooth which can then slip to the next tooth. If ignored the wear will continue on the next tooth and the efficiency of the parking brake may become insufficient to hold the vehicle in place.
Replace parking brake lever assembly with one that has a revised tooth profile.
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH JUMPER HARNESS CONCERN
Affected vehicles have brass terminal (instead of bronze) in the brake lamp switch jumper harness. This could lead to malfunction of the brake lamp switch.
Brake lamp switch jumper harness to be replaced on all affected vehicles brake lamp switch to be inspected for heat damage and replaced if necessary.
BATTERY CABLE AND ALTERNATOR B+ STUD CONCERN.
Battery cable may be misrouted and/or a loose connection at the alternator B+ stud which could cause a risk of an electrical short.
B+ stud torque to be checked. Battery cable routing to be checked and any damaged cables to be replaced.
THAT THE SEAT BELT STALKS WILL NOT RESIST PASSENGER ABUSE.
It has been established that the seat belt stalks may fail due to abuse by passengers.
Replace the seat belt stalks with a stronger design.
FRONT STABILISER BAR LINKS.
One or both front stabiliser bar links may break. Under certain conditions vehicle handling may be affected if one or both of the front stabiliser bar links are broken.
Both front stabiliser bar links will be replaced with new 10 - millimetre service stabiliser bar links.
BRAKE PIPE MAY CHAFE ON FLOORPAN
The metal brake pipe linking the front brake circuit to the rear brake pressure regulation valve may chafe on floorpan which could over time lead to perforation brake fluid loss and consequential reduced brake efficiency.
Recall affected vehicles inspect adjust clearance/renew brake pipe as appropriate.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK FROM PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE
Corrosion of the rear brake pressure limiting valve may allow brake fluid to leak from a joint.
Recall affected vehicles and replace pressure limiting valve.
ENGINE MAY CUT-OUT/STALL
Excessive crankshaft end-float may allow the torque converter to contact the crankshaft position sensor. Damage to the crankshaft position sensor may lead to engine cut-out/stall.
Recall affected vehicles for fitment of a revised crankshaft thrust bearing assembly and a new crankshaft position sensor.
ENGINE MAY LOSE POWER
Engine may lose power due to a malfunction in the power train control module software.
Recall affected vehicles and re-programme the power train module.
OIL FILLER CAP MAY BECOME LOOSE
Oil filler cap may become loose resulting in oil dripping onto the exhaust heat shield.
Replace oil filler cap with a new redesigned version.
DOOR LATCH CONCERN
Some vehicles have been built with door latches which may not be to specification. An internal plastic pawl within the assembly may seize which results in the latch failing to function as designed preventing the door being securely shut.
Recall affected vehicles and fit quality assured replacement door latches.

THROTTLE MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS DISENGAGED
Certain of the affected vehicles could be fitted with a cruise control cable that may interfere with the cruise control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when disengaging the cruise control.
Phase 1 - Write to owners advising them to immediately stop using the cruise control system and offering them the option of dealers disabling the system should they so wish. Phase 2 - As soon as replacement cruise control cables become available recall all affected vehicles for replacement of the cable.

Affected vehicles are being recalled for checking and where necessary replacement of the brake master cylinder.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY JAM
Two conditions have been identified that may inhibit the throttle pedal from returning to its normal idle position. 1) The possibility that a loose or incorrectly located floor mat may interfere with the lower edge of the pedal assembly and 2) A potential foul condition between the engine compartment bulkhead insulation material and the throttle cable.
Recall all affected vehicles to fit revised design floor mats and securing system. A revised design quality assured throttle pedal and associated hardware is also being fitted to provide increased clearance between the lower edge of the pedal and the carpet. This recall supersedes R1998/038.
