Showing 51–61 of 61 recalls.
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.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that a batch of engines have misaligned oil feed holes between the cylinder head and the camshaft bearings. The reduced oil flow could cause premature wear of the camshaft bearings and may also result in seizure of the engine without prior warning.
Recalled vehicles will be checked by dealers for the presence of the relevant build code and the engine will be renewed if it is within the specified range.
WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL AND OVERHEAT
Water may enter the wiper motor via the wiper arm spindle. If the water contains salt it is possible that an electrical short circuit can cause the wiper to fail. In extreme cases the short circuit can result in the wiper assembly overheating. The increased temperature can be high enough to melt the trim components in the area of the motor assembly.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a revised cover and sealing grommet which will replace the existing sealing system.
FUEL RETURN PIPE LEAK
The fuel return pipe is not specification and will degrade. This could lead to seapage of fuel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return pipe.
REAR BRAKE HOSES MAY CHAFE
Left and right hand rear brake flexible hoses may chafe on the wheel arch liners.
Check the brake hoses for damage and modify the rear wheel arch liners.
ALTERNATOR TERMINAL CONCERN
Alternator B+ terminal may break due to incorrect hardness leaving battery +cable loose.
Dealers are to check the Alternator B+ terminal type (visual check) and where necessary replace the alternator.
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.
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.
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.
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.
