CONTAMINATED AIR MAY BE DRAWN INTO INTAKE SYSTEM
There is a possibility that contaminated air may be drawn into the engine air intake system (eg Cigarette ends)
Recall affected vehicles and fit a protective grille over air intake pipe.
CONTAMINATED AIR MAY BE DRAWN INTO INTAKE SYSTEM
There is a possibility that contaminated air may be drawn into the engine air intake system (eg Cigarette ends)
Recall affected vehicles and fit a protective grille over air intake pipe.
THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS MAY FOUL THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD
The engine wiring harness may foul the exhaust manifold
Affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the routing of the engine wiring harness will be modified to prevent fouling on the exhaust manifold.
POSSIBILITY OF THE PLUG DOOR OPENING WHEN TRAVELLING ABOVE 5 KPH
Concern that the plug door may open at speeds in excess of 5 kph by use of the dashboard control.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the control unit will be tested and modified as necessary.
POSSIBILITY THAT ANTIROLL BAR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH MATIERIAL REQUIREMENTS
The Antiroll Bar may not comply with material requirements
Recall affected vehicles and on those with manufacturing dates of 03-21/03 - 25/03-35 replace bar.
POSSIBILITY FOR ABS WARNING LIGHT NOT TO ILLUMINATE IF CIRCUIT FAULT OCCURS
The possibility exists for the ABS warning lamp not to illuminate despite there being a fault in the circuit
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and update instrument cluster with new software
POSSIBLE LOSS OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE
There is a possibility of loss of engine performance
Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme new software for Engine Control unit
ENGINE COULD BE STARTED FROM CHASSIS CONTROL WITH CAB TILTED AND TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE
There is a possibility that the engine could be started from the chassis control with the cab tilted and the transmission in drive
Recall affected vehicles and fit start inhibitor cable
POSSIBLE INCORRECT BRAKE PIPE CONNECTIONS ON VEHICLES WITHOUT ABS
There is a possibility that the brake pipes may have been incorrectly connected. As a consequence failure in one hydraulic circuit may result in the vehicle veering to the left or right when the brakes are next applied.
Renew and reposition the brake pipe connections to comply with the specification.
POSSIBILITY OF EARTH LEAD TERMINAL IN CAB COMING LOOSE
There is a possibility of the wiring terminal to the earth lead connections in the cab coming loose. This could cause intermittent electrical faults.
Check and where necessary tighten the earth connection.
INSECURITY OF CAB TOP AND SIDE SPOILER BRACKET
It is possible that the cab top and side spoiler brackets may not be securely bonded (glued) to the cab structure.
Check the glued mountings on the top and side spoiler with a spring balance to 40-50 kg. If the bond fails reglue the brackets as per the manufacturer's instructions.
POSSIBLE AIR LEAK FROM BRAKE SYSTEM
Air may leak from the brake system pipes at the foot valve to multi connection block on the cab.
Replace the four air pipes and the relevant quick connectors.
INSECURITY OF CAB TOP AND SIDE SPOILER BRACKET
It is possible that the cab top and side spoiler brackets may not be securely bonded (glued) to the cab structure.
Check the glued mountings on the top and side spoiler with a spring balance to 40-50 kg. If the bond fails reglue the brackets as per the manufacturer's instructions.
BREAKAGE OF EXTERNAL SUN VISOR
Due to faults in the shape and dimensions of the sun visor during production tensions can occur following fitting to the cab and can cause the visor to break.
Modify the sun visor mountings by using a new tension free mounting bracket.
FRONT BRAKE HOSE CONNECTIONS MAY BE INCORRECTLY FITTED
Front brake hoses may have been incorrectly fitted. This could result in an air leak when the footbrake is applied.
Check brake hose connections for tightness and leaks. Rectify where necessary.
STEERING COLUMN SHAFT MAY BE INCORRECT LENGTH
An incorrect length steering column shaft may have been fitted during manufacture.
Check the length of the column shaft and replace where necessary.
POSSIBLE FRACTURE OF CHASSIS AROUND TOW HOOK MOUNTING
Possible fracture of chassis around tow hook mounting.
Replace existing chassis reinforcements with new ones.
POSSIBLE WATER INGRESS INTO CAB TILT RELAY BOX
Ingress of water into the cab tilt relay box may corrode the electrical connections and impair the effectiveness of the tilt locking system.
Move the relay box from the bottom flange of the chassis to the inside of the chassis frame.
FRONT BRAKE HOSE CONNECTIONS MAY BE INCORRECTLY FITTED
Front brake hoses may have been incorrectly fitted. This could result in an air leak when the footbrake is applied.
Check brake hose connections for tightness and leaks. Rectify where necessary.
PROPSHAFT MAY FAIL.
The propshaft may fail due to a production fault.
Check the production date on the propshaft and replace where found necessary.
BATTERY TO STARTER CABLE MAY FOUL ON EXHAUST SYSTEM.
It is possible for the electrical cable between the battery and the starter motor to foul on the exhaust system.
Fasten the cable to the vehicle chassis with a dedicated bracket.
POSSIBLE DISCONNECTION OF THE SPRING PARKING BRAKE AIR PIPE.
The air pipe connection between the spring brake cylinder on the rear axle and the chassis may not have been fully tightened. This may cause the brakes to drag and overheat or lock on whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Check the security of the parking brake air pipe connections and tighten where necessary
POSSIBILE AIR LOSS FROM BRAKE SYSTEM
There is the possibility of an air loss from the footbrake system due to corrosion in the pressure regulator APU valve (air dryer with four circuit safety valve].
To prevent corrosion in the pressure regulator APU a new rubber diaphragm will be fitted.
POSSIBILE AIR LOSS FROM BRAKE SYSTEM
There is the possibility of an air loss from the footbrake system due to corrosion in the pressure regulator APU valve (air dryer with four circuit safety valve].
To prevent corrosion in the pressure regulator APU a new rubber diaphragm will be fitted.
