AJ21-D4 Turbo Oil Feed Pipe Leak
On certain vehicles there may be insufficient clamp load on the turbocharger oil feed pipe which may over time loosen and lead to an oil leak.
The oil feed pipe will be removed the O-rings replaced lubricated and an additional clamp installed.
THE RUBBERISED FUEL RETURN HOSE ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED
The rubberised fuel return hose assembly may have been incorrectly manufactured.
Inspect the date code on the fuel return pipe and replace the part if necessary.
VEHICLES FAILED TO ACHIEVE REQUIRED LEVELS OF CO2 EMISSIONS
Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.
Solutions include hardware and software changes.
THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ROUTINELY ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED LEVELS OF CO2 EMISSIONS
Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.
Update the vehicle software to the latest version.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED IN A COLLISION
The calibration of the Restraints control Module does not provide the correct fire signals in the event of a collision. In the event of a collision the supplementary Restraint System may not provide the level of protection required to the driver and front passenger and front seat occupants leading to an increased risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the correct software to the vehicle.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK
Due to a software issue the Instrument cluster may intermittently go blank.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the latest software installed/downloaded.
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The electrical harness from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to side crash sensors has been incorrectly orientated. The RCM signal wire for the right hand C Pillar impact sensor is wired to the left hand C Pillar impact sensor and vice versa. In the event of a collision requiring the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the curtain airbags they may not deploy or deploy later than design intent which can lead to increased injuries to the rear outboard seat occupant.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and repair the harness to change the wiring at the RCM connector.
NO OCCUPANCY DETECTION MAT FITTED IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
The nearside front passenger detection mat was not fitted during production of the seat. No alarm or warning lamp will warn the driver if the front passenger has not fastened the seatbelt.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit an occupancy detection mat to the front passenger seat.
FUEL HOSE MAY LEAK
The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.
INNER SILL MAY BE CRACKED
On affected vehicles the Left Hand Inner Sill Panel may be cracked. During an impact on the left hand side there is a risk that underfloor fuel lines will be ruptured and result in fuel leaking from the vehicle.
If the inner sill panel on an affected is cracked the manufacturer will repurchase the vehicle and the customer will be supplied with a new vehicle.
FUEL MAY LEAK / RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that the fuel delivery line/pipe may not have been installed to the correct specification. This could result in the incorrect tolerance between the fuel line/pipe and the vehicle under shield and the body. This can result in a chaffing condition and fuel leak. This will be highlighted to the driver by either a smell of fuel or pooling of fuel under the vehicle.
Recall the affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the under shield and the body and carry out remedial work as required which may only be the fitment of additional retaining clips or the replacement of any damaged fuel line/pipe.
DIESEL FUEL MAY LEAK AND IN EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES CREATE RISK OF FIRE
Due to a misrouted fuel pipe a metal hose clip my chafe against a nylon fuel pipe and may cause a fuel leak
On affected vehicles reroute piping and replace any damaged pipes.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING ASSISTANCE
The auxiliary drive belt pulley retainer may fail and cause loss of drive to auxiliary items including the water pump and power steering pump. This may cause an engine management lamp to illuminate engine overheating or a reduction in steering assistance though steering control will be maintained.
On affected vehicles replace auxiliary belt idler pulley and retainer.
FUEL MAY LEAK / RISK OF FIRE
On affected vehicles the fuel tank outlet flange mounted in the tank may be cracked. This can lead to fuel odour and/or fuel leakage. This may ignite in the presence of an ignition source.
Replace the fuel outlet mounting flange with a component of revised design.
DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Due to incorrect assembly the driver's airbag may not fully deploy during certain high speed collision conditions.
On affected vehicles replace driver's airbag
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT AND FAIL TO RESTART
The under bonnet low pressure fuel feed hose may detach from the fuel filter. A fuel smell may be noticed due to fuel leaking into the engine bay and in the event of hose detachment the engine will cut out. Once the engine has cut out the brake vacuum reservoir will be depleted after 2-3 brake pedal depressions and the vehicle will lose brake power assistance however foundation brakes continue to operate. The engine cannot be re-started. Engine cut out with minimal warning could potentially cause a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and add a spring wire retention clip to the low pressure fuel feed hose joint.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
A fault could cause the fuel tank fuel pump to stop working. This will cause fuel starvation to the engine and will result in the engine cutting out without warning.
Fitting of an overlay wiring harness. The overlay wiring harness reconfigures the electrical distribution to the FPDM to utilize a relay to supply the fuel pump power feed. The relay is not affected by the in rush current drawn by the fuel pump and so ensures robust operation.
RISK OF FIRE
The positive cable fixing to the alternator may come loose and lead to an elevated risk of fire. Additionally there are concerns raised regarding the fixings for the engine mounted belt driven ancillaries. If the fixings fail power assistance to the steering can be lost and more input from the driver will be required to steer the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and torque the front ancillary fixings to the correct specification.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that the right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If the brake pipe is found to be damaged then the brake pipe will be replaced.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE COMPROMISED
A concern has been identified where in the event of prolonged aggressive driving it is possible that the rear toe link will separate from the rear sub-frame. In this event vehicle stability will be compromised and degree of directional control minimised which increases the risk of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the nut and washer assembly on the rear toe link with components of revised design.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
Recall all affected vehicles inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been established that the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) hoses and resonator pipe have not been assembled to the correct specification. It is therefore possible that under certain conditions the CAC hose can detach from the resonator. This could result in the engine cutting out and possible loss of vacuum assistance for the brake servo.
Recall the affected vehicle and rectify the issue.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
A fault could cause the fuel tank fuel pump to stop working. This will cause fuel starvation to the engine and will result in the engine cutting out without warning.
