CHILD LOCKS ON THE REAR DOORS MAY NOT OPERATE
On some Rio models the child locks on the rear doors may not operate; this is caused by the incorrect length release lever cable being installed.
Replacement cable of correct length will be fitted to affected vehicles.
RUBBER DIESEL FUEL FEED PIPE MAY HARDEN OR CRACK
The diesel fuel feed pipe that supplies fuel to the high pressure pump may deteriorate prematurely. The customer may initially notice the smell of diesel fuel leaking onto the engine. If the concern is not resolved the rubber hose may harden and crack due to fatigue. This in turn could allow the pipe to leak diesel fuel onto the engine. As with all fuel leaks there is a risk of catching fire.
Recall the 24 vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel feed hose.
BONNET CATCH MAY FAIL
Affected vehicles may suffer surface corrosion that could cause the secondary bonnet latch to remain in the open position when the bonnet is closed. Under these circumstances if the bonnet has not been properly and fully closed in the lock position the bonnet may open while driving and obscure the driver�s vision
Replace bonnet catch on affected vehicles.
LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
An abnormal noise may occur at the steering gear box when moving the steering wheel to right or left due to pinion plug nut loosening. If the concern is not resolved the pinion could lose contact with the rack leading to a loss of steering.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check steering shaft for up/down movement if there is no movement secure existing pinion plug with additional set screw. If movement is detected replace the pinion plug and cover.
STEERING RACK MAY FAIL
Noise emanating from steering gearbox when turning steering wheel. This can cause premature wear eventually leading to failure
Recall affected vehicles and replace the steering gear box pinion plug bolt and dust cap assembly with new ones
DRIVERS SEAT BELT MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY FOLLOWING A COLLISION
It has been identified that the pre-tensioner may not function correctly during a collision. This could cause additional injuries during a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tensioner and replace if required.

It has been identified that the pre-tensioner may not function correctly during a collision. This could cause additional injuries during a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tensioner and replace if required.
FRONT SUSPENSION ARM MAY FAIL
The front suspension lower suspension arms may corrode due to insufficient coating of the steel on the inner surfaces. Excessive corrosion could cause weakening of the arms (Thinning of metal). Gradual weakening of the lower suspension arms. Customers are unlikely to notice any symptoms but may notice juddering from suspension area. Ultimately the arm could fracture.
The front suspension lower arms will be checked for corrosion and the thickness of the steel measured. If the thickness of the steel is sufficient the cavities will be filled with cavity wax to prevent corrosion. If the thickness of the steel is below the minimum the arms will be replaced.
BRAKE LIGHTS MAY MALFUNCTION
The vehicles brake lights may intermittently malfunction due to carbonisation of the contacts within the brake light switch. This can also affect other systems on the vehicle including: ESC cruise control gear selection (autoboxes) engine check lamp.
Recall vehicles likely to be affected to replace the brake light switch.

CORROSION MAY AFFECT HANDBRAKE PERFORMANCE
As a result of water ingress and attendant corrosion in the rear calipers the parking brake may not hold the vehicle on a hill when normal force has been applied to the parking brake lever.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either clean the axle and housing and fit new seals or where necessary replace the rear calipers.
SHIFT LEVER MAY NOT ENGAGE
There is a possibility that the shift cable may have been installed incorrectly causing tension on the cable not anticipated in the design. If present this condition could cause the cable to detach from the shiftier assembly's dowel pin preventing the transmission from being shifted. The shift lever can then be moved into the park (P) position while the transmission is still in the last used gear before detachment. If the driver leaves the vehicle without engaging the parking brake there is a possibility the vehicle can roll creating the risk of a crash.
Vehicles affected will have the cable inspected to ensure it is fitted correctly if incorrect the cable will be refitted with a new mounting bush.
RISK OF FIRE
The wiring to the mood lighting in the doors may overheat in use and if ignored there is a potential risk of fire.
Recalled vehicles to have the wiring to the mood lights replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel tank filler neck may crack and allow fuel to leak.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel tank filler neck.
BRAKES MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The brake master cylinder on some models fitted with ESP may not be to specification and the result could be longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the brake master cylinder and where necessary replace the master cylinder.
