The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU/ABS) Anti-lock Brake System module may have been built with a Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU/ABS) Anti-lock Brake System module that falsely reads pressure in the primary circuit.
The repair is the installation of new software to the HCU/ABS module.
THE ENGINE MAY LOSE ITS ABILITY TO SYNCHRONIZE INJECTOR PULSES AND CAMSHAFT TIMING
The engine may lose its ability to synchronize injector pulses and camshaft timing.
Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module to maintain engine operation if the signal material is lost.
VEHICLE SHORT CAUSING CAN-C BUS TO STOP COMMUNICATING
A short in the vehicle causing the CAN-C bus to stop communicating while the cruise control is active and the vehicle speed is below the set speed such that the cruise control system is requesting positive torque at the exact moment of the short it is possible for a positive torque request to be locked on the PCM. This may result in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Inspect the software level of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and if necessary reprogram the PCM
BRAKE BOOSTER WATER SHIELD MAY BE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED
There is a risk that the brake booster water shield may be incorrectly installed. This may result in limited braking ability due to water ingress into the brake booster.
On affected vehicles the brake booster water shield must be inspected for proper installation. If the brake booster water shield is found to be missing or incorrectly installed the brake booster must also be vacuum tested. Brake boosters that do not pass the vacuum test must be replaced. At the conclusion of this the brake booster must be equipped with a properly installed shield to protect the brake booster crimp joints from water exposure.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The sun visors may experience a high resistance short at the sun visor vanity lamp wiring after a service repair to the sun visor headliner or while gaining access above the headliner. This may result in an inoperative vanity lamp and/or an electrical fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the sun visors modify the surrounding sheet metal and install vanity lamp wiring guides.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
The electronic shift lever on about 210000 of the above vehicles may allow a roll away condition if the vehicle�s engine is left running the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the �PARK� position before exiting the vehicle.
On affected vehicles new software will be installed which includes an �Auto Park� feature. A handbook addendum leaflet will also be provided.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES
The ignition switch may unintentionally change position while driving. This may result in a loss of engine power power steering assist power brake assist or disable the airbag function.
On affected vehicles replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
