Replacement of the windscreen wiper motor assembly.
The interior a-pillar trim tether has not been fitted onto certain production vehicles and therefore does not conform with the original Type Approval of the vehicle. There is a risk the interior a-pillar trim may become completely detached upon deployment of the side curtain airbag potentially causing injury to the occupiers of the cabin.

Fitment of the interior a-pillar trim tethers.
BOLTS SECURING THE FUEL RAIL TO THE CYCLINDER HEAD MAY FAIL.
Bolts securing the fuel rail to the cylinder head may fail.
The spacers and fuel rail securing bolts will be replaced with new revised parts
STEERING COLUMN CARTRIDGE SCREW REQUIRES TIGHTENING
Assembly error involving the steering column that may affect crash behaviour.
Ensure that the steering column is assembled correctly in accordance with the manufacturers� instructions.
REDUCTION OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
An error in production of the brake master cylinder may cause a reduction in braking efficiency.
Replace the brake master cylinder on affected vehicles.
RISK OF FIRE
The oil cooler pipes may detach from their fittings and deposit oil in the engine compartment on the road/tyres which can lead to increased risk of fire and loss of vehicle control. Only the pipes with the smooth bore ferrules are affected.
Elise Exige and 211: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and repair or replace the oil cooler hoses. Evora: it is proposed that the oil cooler hose assemblies will be replaced with hoses that incorporate the current production released end fittings in accordance with Lotus workshop procedures.

OIL MAY LEAK
An oil cooler pipe may have insufficient room to move freely. As a result the pipe will abrade. If the concern remains unnoticed oil can leak in the engine bay with an increased risk of fire. Additionally oil can leak onto the road and cause a loss of control to the subject vehicle and other road users. If the driver does not heed the low oil pressure warnings then engine damage could occur.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the oil cooler pipes with a modified oil cooler pipe kit.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been determined that under extreme circumstances the rubber hose section of the VVT oil pipe can leak. A failure of the VVT oil feed pipe may result in oil being deposited onto the engine as well as the exhaust system. This could cause potential engine failure and a potential risk of fire because of the presence of flammable vapour which could result in a crash.
The oil feed pipe will be replaced
WHEEL HUB MAY BECOME INSECURE
The bolts securing the rear wheel hubs to the suspension may not have been correctly tightened.
Recall affected vehicles and check bolts for correct torque and if necessary remove and re-install bolts.
GEAR LEVER MAY BREAK
It has been found that there is a small risk that the gear lever may break if subjected to high handling force.
Recall the likely to be affected vehicles and where necessary replace the gear lever and associated parts.

FRONT BRAKE CALIPER BOLTS CONCERN
There is a slight chance that one or more of the tapped holes for the four bolts securing the two halves of the brake caliper body together has not been threaded through the full depth of the hole. The structural integrity of any such caliper may be compromised with the risk of fatigue failure of the caliper occurring after an extended period.
Check the caliper tapped holes. If any incomplete threading is found the brake caliper is to be replaced.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT
In the event of a severe engine misfire the catalytic convertor could overheat which may subsequently result in a fire risk.
Reprogramme the ECU to incorporate a misfire detection system which will take remedial action in the event of a severe misfire.

BRAKE PIPE CHAFING
Brake pipe routed along by battery on right hand drive models with air conditioning may rub into battery causing an acid spill. This could result in damage to the brake pipe and a loss of braking efficiency.
Examine the brake pipe and battery casing for damage and reposition brake pipe. Renew brake pipe and/or battery if necessary.
STEERING RACK MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PREMATURE WEAR AND POSSIBLE TOOTH DAMAGE.
A batch of steering rack assemblies has been identified as having been built with rack bars which have been subjected to an incorrect heat treatment rendering them susceptible to premature wear and possible tooth damage.
Recall affected vehicles for a check of the steering rack assembly batch number. If this is confirmed as within the suspect batch the steering rack assembly is to be renewed.
FUEL MAY LEAK WHEN FILLING AND CORNERING
The hose connecting a spigot on the filler neck to the fuel tank top surface has been found to be of an incorrect material specification. The suspect hoses have a reduced resistance to tearing and rupturing forces exacerbated by careless or incorrect fitting.
Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel filler breather hose with modified type.

POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE
The fuel line push fit connectors may not be to the manufacturers specification. In consequence it is possible that fuel leakage may occur and initiate an engine bay fire.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the original fuel line connectors with quality assured versions.
REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK BOLT MAY BECOME LOOSE
Rear suspension toe link to hub carrier securing bolt may become loose and cause unstable handling.
Remove and examine the subject securing bolt renew bolt where found necessary ensure that threads are clean apply approved locking compound refit and tighten bolt to the specified torque.
