RISK OF ENGINE BAY FIRE
It has been identified that; the possibility exists that the fuel injector pipes may fracture leading to spillage of fuel within the engine bay and the risk of fire.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a new design of injector pipe manufactured from a different steel alloy.
LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
It has been identified that a brake pipe may have been incorrectly secured to the bulkhead with a plastic clip. As a consequence; under certain circumstancesthe brake pipes can vibrate out of the clips and could fracture resulting in a loss of braking efficiency.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a steel securing bracket which will have the addition of rubber insulation.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the possibility exists; for the engine compartment cover seal to become dislodged during service. Should this occur the seal could fall onto the engine causing a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine compartment cover seal checked for security and condition. It will be renewed as necessary or refitted using an adhesive.
STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE LOST
The Track Rod clamping bracket gaps may have closed before the correct torque has been reached which may allow the track rod to gradually work loose.
Recall affected vehicles to check and if action is required new clamping brackets will be fitted and bolts tightened to correct torque.
RISK OF INSTABILITY
It is possible that the material used for the rear anti roll bar supports may be incorrect and could collapse causing serious stability concerns.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace both the rear anti roll bar supports.
RISK OF INSTABILITY
It is possible that the material used for the rear anti roll bar supports may be incorrect and could collapse causing serious stability concerns.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace both the rear anti roll bar supports.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Some vehicles may have been fitted incorrect specification flexible brake hoses which if not checked and replaced could lead to a brake failure.
Recall all affected vehicles for inspection of the flexible brake hoses and replacement if found to be out of specification.
THE CONTACTS IN THE CAB LOOM MAY OXIDIZE AND OVERHEAT POSSIBILITY OF FIRE.
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the contacts in the cab wiring loom may oxidize and cause overheating of the connector block. In the worst case this may result in a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the suspect wires removed from the connector block. Theses will then be reconnected using heat shrink terminals.
NO WARNING SIGNAL TO THE DRIVER WHEN TRAILER DIRECTION INDICATOR LAMPS FAIL.
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the driver will not receive a warning signal should the trailer direction indicator lamp/s fail.
Recalled vehicles will have the trailer lighting control unit replaced.
REAR AXLE LEAF SPRING MOUNTING MAY CRACK
It has been identified that on a limited number of vehicles the rear axle leaf spring mountings may crack or fracture. Should this occur vehicle stability could be affected.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected and repaired as required.
INDICATORS MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that the side repeater lamps may not work.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogramme the computer to allow the side repeater lamps to activate.
INDICATORS MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that the side repeater lamps may not work.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogramme the computer to allow the side repeater lamps to activate.
EXHAUST SILENCER RETAINING BOLTS MAY FAIL
It is possible for the for the exhaust silencer strap bolts to slacken which if not rectified could lead to the total failure of the silencer mounting.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the mounting bolts with new pre-coated bolts (locking compound) and tighten to the correct torque.
EXHAUST SILENCER RETAINING BOLTS MAY FAIL
It is possible for the for the exhaust silencer strap bolts to slacken which if not rectified could lead to the total failure of the silencer mounting.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the mounting bolts with new pre-coated bolts (locking compound) and tighten to the correct torque.
LOSS OF STEERING
Steering control could be lost on vehicles that have been fitted with none quality assured steering column shafts.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary replace the steering column shaft.
LOSS OF STEERING
Steering control could be lost on vehicles that have been fitted with non-quality assured steering column shafts.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary replace the steering column shaft.
CONTROL RELAY MAY OVERHEAT
It has been identified that if the incorrect type of cold start element is fitted frequent use under extreme weather conditions may lead to overheating of the control relay.
Recalled vehicles will have the part number of the cold start element checked which will be replaced as necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY
It has been identified that the parking brake cables may be incorrectly located in the vicinity of the rear suspension leaf spring. In this condition the functionality of the parking brake may be compromised.
Recalled vehicles will have the parking brake cables repositioned.
CAB MAY SHUDDER UNDER EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS
Possibility that front Cab mounting bolts may be missing resulting in that Cab may shudder under extreme operating conditions.
Recall affected vehicles and fit new Cab mounting bolts
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING
The possibility exists that the steering input shaft may be incorrectly secured to the steering rack. This is a situation which if left un-rectified could lead to steering failure.
Subject vehicles will have the presence of the steering shaft retaining screw and green marker paint (indicating the correct tightening torque for the screw) checked. If the screw or paint mark are missing the situation will be rectified to conform to specification.
REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MAY BE TOO SHORT
It is possible that the rear seat belt for the rear seats may be too small and not possible to fasten by certain persons
Recall affected vehicles and replace Seat Belts with correct type.
INJECTOR PIPES MAY FAIL RESULTING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF A VEHICLE FIRE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the currently fitted fuel injector pipes may fail which under certain circumstances may result in a vehicle fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the injector pipes replaced with those of current the production pending the development of a redesigned pipe. Until such time as theses become available pipes will be changed on a six monthly or 100000 km basis.During the initial stage of this recall subject vehicles will be fitted with an engine bay fire extinguisher system.
CAB MAY SHUDDER WHICH MAY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL
It has been identified that an insufficient tightening torque mat have been applied to the bolts of the cab to chassis front mountings. This can cause the mounting bolts to work loose and the cab to shudder which may affect steering control.
Recalled vehicles will have the cab front mounting bolts checked for the correct tightening torque.
BOLTS USED TO SECURE STEERING RACK TO FRONT AXLE MAY FAIL.
The possibility exists that the bolts which secure the steering rack to the front axle may be of the incorrect grade 8.8 instead of R10. A situation which may result in failure of the bolts.
The bolts of recalled vehicles will be checked for compliance with the specification and changed as necessary.
REAR AXLE LEAF SPRING U-BOLTS MAY FAIL.
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the rear axle leaf spring U-bolts may break. A situation which could affect vehicle stability.
The U-bolts of affected vehicles will be checked for dimensional compliance and changed as necessary.
