POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO INNER SIDEWALL OF TYRE
It is possible that the tyre inner side wall may have been damaged during the tyre/wheel balance identification process. In the worst case the tyre could deflate when the car is being driven.
Examine tyre side walls and replace any tyres found to have been damaged as a result of the wheel balancing operation.
IGNITION SWITCH MAY FAIL
Electrical contacts within the ignition switch wear prematurely. This can eventually cause the engine to stall without warning.
Fit a new ignition switch.

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CONCERN
The brake/stop lights may not function due to oil contamination of the switch.
Replace the brake light switch and remove all traces of oil from the switch pad.
POSSIBLE INCORRECT FIXING OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE
The screw clips on the filler tube connecting the fuel filler pipe to the fuel tank may not be correctly installed. The tube may not therefore be securely fixed to the tank and/or pipe. This could permit fuel to leak from the tank in the event of a severe rear end impact.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to check for correct installation of the fuel filler tube clips. Any clip not properly installed will be retorqued correctly.
POSSIBILITY OF INCORRECT BRAKE OPERATION.
There is a possibility that the brake pedal lock pin which ensures a positive connection of the brake pedal to the braking system may be incorrectly installed. In such cases it is possible that excessive free play in the brake pedal can occur leading to incorrect brake pedal operation. The clutch may also be similarly affected.
Recall affected vehicles to check for correct installation of the lock pins. If either lock pin is not correctly installed the pin will be re-installed correctly.
REAR SUSPENSION LOWER ARM BOLTS COULD BREAK
There is a possibility that the rear suspension lower arm bolt could break due to improper heat treatment. Vehicle handling and control would be reduced.
Recall affected vehicles and replace lower arm suspension bolts with quality assured type.

Recall affected vehicles and replace lower arm suspension bolts with quality assured type.
POTENTIAL INSTABILITY UNDER HARD BRAKING
Under certain hard braking conditions the PCV (Proportion Control Valve) setting allows inappropriate brake force to be applied to the rear wheels. In these circumstances this may cause locking of the rear wheels leading to possible vehicle instability.
Recall affected vehicles and replace PCV with a modified unit.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVE AND TRANSMISSION PARK FACILITY
A bolt in the transmission can loosen and fall out disengaging the transmission from the differential. If this condition occurs while the vehicle is being driven it could cause an unexpected loss of drive. If the vehicle is stopped with the transmission in the PARK position and the parking brake is not engaged the vehicle could move unexpectedly.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have an updated sealing bolt and O-ring installed.
PREMATURE WEAR OF STEERING LOWER BALL JOINTS
Certain vehicles were manufactured with front lower ball joints that may prematurely wear out and in the worst case separate from the front knuckle. If separation occurs then loss of steering control may happen.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have both front lower ball joint assemblies replaced.

POTENTIAL WIRING CHAFE SITUATION AND SHORT CIRCUIT
Potential chafing of the A/C wiring harness due to inappropriate routing. This can lead to a short circuit.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the A/C wiring harness re-routed and additional protection added. If any wire insulation is worn through and the copper is exposed the harness will be replaced.

THE GEAR LEVER POSITION MAY NOT MATCH THE TRANSMISSION MODE SELECTED
The transmission shift cable lock pin may become ineffective. In consequence the gear lever position may not match the actual gear position selected in the transmission.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the lock pin with a modified type.
