POSSIBLE INCORRECT WELDING
Possible incorrect welding due to human error of the 4 sections of the front engine under frame. This has been caused by an interruption in the welding process Possible brake of the welds Sub-frame can lost the correct alignment and the vehicle could lose the stability
Inspection of the welded points if welding Is defective replacement of the front sub-frame required
LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
The resistor for the low pressure fuel pump may fail which can cause loss of power and eventually the engine to shut down.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the low pressure fuel pump resistor.
FUEL LINE MAY LEAK
Due to material imperfections the fuel delivery line may leak at line unions. This is more likely after prolonged use.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel delivery line.

On affected vehicles replace the fuel delivery line.
UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
The short hose on the pipe between the turbocharger and the intercoolers could break during the normal use of the vehicle. This could result in loss of performance and cause the check engine light to illuminate as the hose material may not conform to manufacturers specification.
Replace the short hose on the pipe between the turbocharger and the intercoolers. In some cases the replacement of the entire intercooler pipe will be necessary; this will be determined by the VIN number.
POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT OF DRIVER SEAT WIRING
Some vehicles may have been manufactured with an incorrect driver seat wiring harness layout which can cause the seat wiring harness to rub against metal points on the seat/seat frame assembly through normal seat adjustment operation. Over time this can lead to an inoperative seat adjustment system and in rare cases a potential risk of fire due to an electrical short to ground between the seat wiring harness and the seat adjustment motor assembly.
Replace 2 seat circuit breakers with 25 amp mini-fuses check harness apply protective barrier and reposition if undamaged. If damaged replace harness and then ensure repositioned and protective barrier applied.

FUEL DELIVERY LINE MAY LEAK
There is a possibility that a leak may occur in the fuel delivery line. Prolonged use of the car could result in the possibility of a fuel leak at the engine end of the pipe where the quick release connector is fitted.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the complete fuel delivery line.

VEHICLE CAN MOVE AWAY AFTER DRIVER HAS EXITED
It has been identified that the gearshift lever resting position may mislead drivers into believing the vehicle's transmission is in the park position when actually the it is still in a drive gear. This could result in the vehicle moving off without the driver being in the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver's door lock and update the software to introduce a drive away inhibition strategy.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL
It has been identified that the locking nut of the differential pinion may not have been tightened to the correct specification. This will be identified to the driver by noise generated from the differential and also possible vibration. If these warning signs are ignored and with prolonged use in this condition then it could result in a possible failure/locking of the differential and the subsequent loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicle to check the tightness of the locking nut on the differential pinion. If it is found to be incorrect then the differential will be replaced and possibly the drive-shaft if projections or metal contaminates are found in the differential rear cover.

LOSS OF CONTROL
Due to a manufacturing issue the front wheel bearing can become noisy and vibrate. If the driver does not take notice of these warnings then the bearing could fail and cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the front wheel bearing.

Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the front wheel bearing.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
In extreme and hard driving conditions it is possible for the rear tie rod fixing bolt to become loose which can ultimately result in loss of vehicle control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace both rear toe in tie rod bolts and washers fixing points will be inspected and rear hub assembly replaced if unserviceable.

THROTTLE PEDAL MAY STICK IN ANY POSITION
Throttle pedal may jam in any position. This can lead to a heightened risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle pedal cover carpet mats carpet mat fixings modify floor covering depending on VIN list and inspection.

RIGHT HAND DOOR MAY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY
Insufficient heat treatment may have been applied to the ratchet in the right hand door latch mechanism which may cause the Right Hand door to open inadvertently during driving and/or in an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right hand door latch assembly.

RISK OF FIRE
Due to incorrect installation the power lead from the alternator to the starter motor may become damaged. This may cause the engine to stall and in extreme cases cause a fire in the engine compartment.
On affected vehicles replace the alternator to starter motor loom.
LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
The protection on the treaded portion of the tie-rod may not be to the manufacturer's specification. If the owner continues to use the vehicle in this condition it can result in damage occurring on the threaded portion of the tie-rod and may cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace both tie-rods with quality assured items.
