INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF A FRONT AIRBAG
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module may allow a front airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioner to inadvertently deploy.
On affected vehicles replace the ORC Module. Due to issues with parts supply the recall of WG/WJ models is suspended however KJ models remain unaffected.

RISK OF FIRE
Due to water ingress the tailgate power module may develop a short circuit. This may cause the module to fail and in extreme cases
Check affected vehicles for water ingress and modules for corrosion. Where necessary rectify water ingress replace power module and connectors and fit a power module water shield
UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT
The clutch interlock switch may be faulty. This could allow starting of the engine without depressing the clutch pedal and with the transmission engaged.
On affected vehicles replace the clutch interlock switch.

On affected vehicles replace the clutch interlock switch.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) contains an internal fuel pump relay that could operate intermittently or fail without warning causing the engine to stall while driving and increase the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install a fuel pump relay outside of the TIPM.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install a fuel pump relay outside of the TIPM.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It is possible that during the manufacturing process the coating on the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) printed circuit may not have been applied correctly. If the coating has been applied incorrectly it can result in lead salts forming which can cause a resistive short across the ORC module printed circuit board(s). Atmospheric humidity may increase the potential for this condition to occur. Should this occur then it will cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate and potentially disable the passive restraint system. Ultimately this can result in an inoperative passive restraint system (airbag) which could increase the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the ORC module.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MAY BECOME DISABLED
The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) may experience electrical interference (static) in the SCCM printed circuit board communication circuit. This unintended electrical interference (static) can cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to become disabled and the ESC warning lamp to illuminate. A loss of ESC function during certain driving conditions could cause a crash without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogramme the Steering Column Control Module.
RISK OF FIRE
The power side view mirrors may experience a loss of right and/or left heated power mirror function. This is due to corrosion caused water may travelling along the heated power mirror wiring harness and into the heated power mirror electrical connector(s). This corrosion inside the forms a resistive bridge between the power and ground electrical terminals and could cause a fire without warning.
On affected vehicles relocate the power feed electrical terminal for the heated power mirrors to a separate electrical connector and add a water shield.
VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE
The Steering Column Control Module (SSCM) may be affected by electrical interference. This may disable the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Though the ESC warning lamp will illuminate the ESC may not be operable on demand.
Reprogram the SCCM
REAR SUSPENSION MAY DETACH
One or more of the rear suspension shock absorbers may break at one of the shock absorber attachment points. A partially detached rear suspension shock absorber(s) could cause damage to other rear chassis/suspension components rear brake pipe damage and/or damage to the rear tyre/s increasing the risk of a crash.
Check date code of shock absorber fitted and where applicable replace shock absorber
RISK OF FIRE
On affected vehicles it is possible that the wiring to the vanity light within the sun visor may sustain damage during maintenance procedures on the visor or the vehicle's headlining. Damaged wiring could be a risk of fire plus the vanity light my not operate.
Fit new wiring guides to all affected vehicles and repair wiring where damage is present.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
Under certain braking events the Ready Alert Braking System (RAB) may result in the driver experiencing a hard brake pedal feel. If the driver experiences a hard brake pedal they may not push the pedal as intended which can result in a lengthening of the stopping distance of the vehicle so increasing the risk of a crash.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the RAB software in the ABS ECU.
INDICATORS MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
The bulb failure detection system may not alert the driver to the failure of a rear indicator bulb.
Reprogram the Body control Module with new software.
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION MAY BE REQUIRED
The brake booster may prematurely corrode. If perforation of the brake booster shell (due to corrosion) occurs water could enter the brake booster during wet weather. In very cold weather the water may freeze. The driver may be required to apply additional application force to the brakes during sub-freezing driving conditions leading to an additional brake pedal application force requirement which could slow the driver's brake application reaction time and cause a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the brake booster for corrosion and where necessary replace the brake booster. In all cases a shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water exposure will be fitted.
POSSIBILITY OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
The Cruise Control may cause unintended continued vehicle acceleration after an accelerator pedal override manoeuvre. As a result when the Cruise Control is set and the driver presses the accelerator pedal to accelerate more than the Cruise Control system would on its own; The vehicle may continue to accelerate briefly after the accelerator pedal is released.
Reprogramme the Adaptive Cruise control (ACC) Module with new software
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP FUNCTIONS INCORRECTLY WHEN INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED.
It is possible that the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) do not function correctly when the turn signal indicator is actuated. The opposite DRL (rather than adjacent) may turn off when the turn signal is activated. This could result in confusion for other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the function of the lights and where necessary modify the wiring.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY FAIL
The vehicle may experience an instrument cluster blackout a loss of warning light illumination and/or a loss of ABS/electronic stability control system function. The loss of instrument cluster illumination and/or ABS function during certain driving conditions may cause a crash without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogram the instrument cluster and ABS module. Check and tighten the alternator ground wire
INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module may experience a very high voltage spike which may result in the inadvertent deployment of the front airbags and/or the seatbelt pretensioner. This could result in the loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all the affected vehicles for the fitment of a filter harness for the ORC module.

Recall all the affected vehicles for the fitment of a filter harness for the ORC module.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The engine may cut out because the pipe connecting the tanks has been incorrectly manufactured which can stop the fuel transfer from the secondary tank to the primary tank. The fuel gauge will read that there is fuel in the tank when this occurs.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel transfer pipe.
SIDE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The seatbelt pre-tensioner and/or side airbag curtains may not deploy in the event of certain low speed roll over events which can lead to an increased risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogram the Occupant Restraint Control Module (ORC).
SIDE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The seatbelt pre-tensioner and/or side airbag curtains may not deploy in the event of certain low speed roll over events which can lead to an increased risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogram the Occupant Restraint Control Module (ORC).
