PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant or in a thermal issue in the interior compartment which may lead to fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
The left hand front brake pipe may not be fully secure which could lead to the brake pipe chafing on the EGR pipe. If this occurs and remains unseen the damage could result in loss of brake fluid and the attendant loss of braking efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace and correctly secure the left hand front brake pipe.
SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The front upper suspension arm mounting may detach from the main frame allowing the wheel to suddenly and unexpectedly turn outwards adversely affecting the riders ability to steer the ATV.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the nearside upper suspension arm and if not replaced as per original recall the offside upper suspension arm.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It is possible moisture or other fluids may enter the drivers window and contaminate the main power window switch. If this occurs and the switch is damaged it could overheat and cause it to melt and/or smoke. If this situation is not identified it could result in a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the switch. If the switch is not damaged a waterproof cover will be fitted. If the switch is damaged it will be replaced and a waterproof cover will be fitted.
VEHICLE MAY MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY
Due to a software issue it could be possible to start the engine when the vehicle is in gear and the clutch is not depressed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to install new software.
TRANSMISSION MAY MALFUNCTION
In rare circumstances the gear indicator may display neutral when the gearbox is in reverse gear. If this happens the vehicle may reverse unexpectedly and cause an incident.
Recall vehicles likely to be affected to correct the unit software and inspect the reverse shift holder for deformation. Where necessary the reverse shift piece and shift holder will be replaced.

Recall vehicles likely to be affected to correct the unit software and inspect the reverse shift holder for deformation. Where necessary the reverse shift piece and shift holder will be replaced.
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
Tension from the combination switch wiring harness can cause a small amount of movement when the combination switch is operated. Over time the low beam terminal can become worn leading to poor electrical continuity. Ultimately this may cause the low beam headlights to fail.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the low beam terminal harness and where necessary the lighting switch.
SUSPENSION ARM MAY DETACH
Due to an incorrect welding process the front right upper suspension arm may detach at the mounting point to the main frame. If this happens the front right wheel may turn outwards unexpectedly thus affecting the driver�s ability to control the machine.
Recall the affected machine and replace the suspension arm.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Incorrect positioning of the engine bay wiring harness under the engine mounting bracket could result in damage to the harness leading to a short circuit or in the worst case a fire.
Inspection of the wiring harness. If damaged harness is to be replaced
UNEXPECTED VEHICLE BEHAVIOUR IF ENGINE STALLS
Under certain conditions if the vehicle is stalled it is possible the vehicle could move unexpectedly forward or backwards depending on which gear is selected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to apply new software for the IMA motor Electronic Control Unit.
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY FAIL
The cruise control may fail to disengage due to faults in the engine management controller software. If these faults persist the cruise control function will be inoperative.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the water pump pulley bolts with modified bolts.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
Due to an inappropriate software setting of the Engine Control Unit the oil level in the engine may increase due to fuel dilution during the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration. If the oil level increases too much it may prevent the engine from decelerating as intended the engine may continue to run even if the ignition is switched off. This may result in engine failure. The driver will not have any warning of this failure.
The dealer will rewrite the engine software and replace the engine oil and engine filter.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It is possible that a diode within the DC converter of the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system became damaged during initial testing. Over time the diode could deteriorate and eventually fail causing a short circuit within the IMA system which results in the 100amp fuse blowing. A melted fuse will result in the engine stalling and the engine cannot be restarted. There will not be any noticeable symptoms prior to the engine stalling.
The dealer will replace the DC converter with a new one.
DIESEL FUEL MAY LEAK FROM FUEL PUMP
Due to a production process at the seal suppliers cracks may occur in the affected seals and could potentially lead to a diesel fuel leak. If the seal cracks diesel may leak from the pump. The leaking fuel could result in diesel fuel smell also there may be some smoke or in the worst case scenario a fire. There have been no cases reported of cases of fire.
A recall of the affected vehicles check the manufacturer date and serial number of the high pressure diesel pump and replace the pump if the serial number falls within the affected range.
HEADLIGHTS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE CORRECTLY
Due to the layout of the lighting switch wiring harness the low beam headlight circuit can be pulled tighter than other wires. After repeated use of the headlight switch the low beam terminal can become worn and poor electrical continuity may result from an accumulation of copper oxide. In some cases the poor continuity the poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the wiring harness terminal ends to melt. Poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the low beam head lights to become inoperative increasing the risk of accident.
The dealer will inspect the low beam terminal if the terminal shows signs of melting the lighting switch and low beam terminal harness will be replaced. If the terminal is not melted the low beam terminal harness will be replaced.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY FAIL
If the brake system undergoes any fluid replacement or bleeding of the system it is possible that the rear seal can become deformed. This can result in a brake fluid leak which will when the fluid reaches a low level illuminate the brake fluid low warning light on the dash. If the driver does not take any notice of the warning it is possible that the brake performance of the vehicle could be affected.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the rear seal with an improved one.
IF DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS MAY ENDANGER PASSENGER
The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
TYRE MAY DEFLATE WITHOUT WARNING
The sidewall of the tyre may have been damaged during fitting to steel wheels. If the sidewall is weakened a bulge may be seen prior to the tyre deflating suddenly. If the tyre deflates suddenly control of the vehicle may become difficult.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the four tyres on the standard steel road wheels.
BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
The footbrake pedal is connected to the master cylinder via the brake pedal pin. It is possible that the retaining clip/locking pin that locks the footbrake pedal pin may not have been installed. If this is the case it is possible that the brake pedal pin may become detached. This will result in an increase in pedal travel and a corresponding increase in stopping distance.
Recall all affected vehicle and check for presence of retaining clip/locking pin. If found to be missing a new clip/pin will be installed.
