FRONT SEATBELT BUCKLE MAY DETACH DURING A COLLISION
It has been identified that the front seatbelts may not latch correctly. This could result in them de-latching during a collision.
Recalled vehicles will have both front seatbelt stalks replaced.
FRONT SEATBELT BUCKLE MAY DETACH DURING A COLLISION
It has been identified that the front seatbelts may not latch correctly. This could result in them de-latching during a collision.
Recalled vehicles will have both front seatbelt stalks replaced.
ENGINE COOLING FAN BLADES COULD FRACTURE AND DAMAGE THE COOLING SYSTEM.
It has been established that the plastic cooling fan blades could fracture and damage the cooling system/hoses causing the engine to overheat and possibly fail.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine cooling fan replaced with a modified unit.
CURTAIN AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
It has been identified that some of the wires to the airbag control unit are not in the correct order. In consequence an incorrect side curtain airbag could deploy in the event of a collision.
Recalled vehicles will have the pins on the connector to the control unit refitted in the correct order.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
The wiring to the driver's electric seat adjuster may chafe on the sharp edge of the seat base which may result in an electrical short circuit. This can cause the wiring and fuse-box to overheat and a risk of fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the routing of the wiring checked and any sharp edges will be insulated.
POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE SIEZURE
An incorrect engine oil pump strainer may have been fitted during production. This can result in the oil supply to the engine being affected and an engine seizure.
Affected vehicles will have the engine oil pump strainer replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF REAR BEARING FAILURE
Poor rear wheel bearing cap sealing arrangement can lead to moisture accumulating in the rear wheel bearing and possible failure.
Recall the likely to be affected vehicles and fit modified caps. Any faulty bearings will also be replaced.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
The parking brake may fail to engage or release without warning due to an incorrectly manufactured parking brake lever locking pawl.
Recalled vehicles will have the parking brake lever assembly replaced with a quality assured item.
POSSIBLE SUDDEN OPERATION OF BRAKES
Due to incorrect logic in the electronic stability programme (ESP)control unit the possibility exists that the brakes may suddenly apply.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and re-programme the ESP control unit
ALTERNATOR PULLEY MAY SEIZE
The alternator pulley may seize resulting in the loss of the drive belt. This in turn can result in an increased physical effort requirement for both the steering and brake pedal
Affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the pulley will be replaced with a modified item.
SNAP RING RETAINER WITHIN THE GEARBOX MAY DETACH
The snap ring which retains the reverse gear may break which may result in poor power transfer. Should this occur the vehicle may roll forward whilst in reverse gear.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and fit a modified transmission unit.
POTENTIAL FUEL LEAK
The possibility exists that the inlet nipple on the fuel distribution rail may crack. Should this occur the potential exists for a fuel leak additionally the risk of fire.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the distribution rail and the fuel supply pipe will be changed.
POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN POWER STEERING HOSE AND BRAKE PIPE
It is possible that the power steering hose could come in contact with the metal brake pipe. If unchecked there is potential for the metal brake pipe to chafe which could result in fluid loss.
Return the vehicle to the dealers to check and adjust the gap between the power steering hose and metal brake pipe. And if required replace the metal brake pipe.
REPROGRAMMING OF ABS ECM
An ABS programming error could cause reduced braking force at speeds under 40 kmh
Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme ABSECM and RDM data

Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme ABSECM and RDM data
REPROGRAMMING OF ABS ECM
An ABS programming error could cause reduced braking force at speeds under 40 kmh
Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme ABSECM and RDM data
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING
There is a possibility that the steering intermediate shaft securing bolts may have been incorrectly torqued.
Recall affected vehicles and retorque securing bolts
THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH SECURELY
The front seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This could result in a buckle separating in a collision.
Fit new front seat belts with improved buckles.
THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH SECURELY
The front seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This could result in a buckle separating in a collision.
Fit new front seat belts with improved buckles.
THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH SECURELY
The front seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This could result in a buckle separating in a collision.
Fit new front seat belts with improved buckles.
SIDE AIRBAG WIRING MAY HAVE BEEN TRANSPOSED
The opposite side air bag may deploy in the event of a side impact due to the electrical connections being transposed.
Fit new air bag wiring harness to all affected vehicles.
DASHBOARD WIRING HARNESS MAY CHAFE
A wiring harness routed behind the dashboard may chafe on the ECU mounting bracket. This could damage the loom and render several electrical circuits inoperative.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a protective covering on the ECU mounting bracket edge.
