CORROSION MAY FORM AROUND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATING SHAFT AND CAUSE REDUCED HANDBRAKE PERFORMANCE
On the subject vehicles corrosion may form around the parking brake actuating shaft within the rear brake caliper. This could cause the handbrake to become difficult to operate (greater force required at the lever) or in some cases prevent the parking brake assembly from applying sufficient force at the rear wheels and cause a failure to hold the vehicle. Insufficient force to hold vehicle stationary causing unintentional and unexpected movement of the vehicle.
Inspect the parking brake actuation lever. If no corrosion is found replace the protective boot with a modified assembly. If corrosion is found on the actuating shaft replace the brake caliper.
LOWER BALLJOINT MAY FAIL
Water could enter the front lower suspension ball joint which can cause noise from front suspension and in worst-case failure of lower ball joint. If this occurs directional control could be impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the lower suspension arm (which includes lower ball joint).
BRAKE HOSE RETAINING CLIP MAY FAIL.
Surface finishing of brake hose retaining clip may be insufficient causing possibility of corrosion and failure of clip.
Replace brake hose clips with modified ones
BRAKE HOSE RETAINING CLIP MAY FAIL.
Surface finishing of brake hose retaining clip may be insufficient causing possibility of corrosion and failure of clip.
Replace brake hose clips with modified ones
TAILGATE MAY DROP DOWN WITHOUT WARNING
Water may penetrate the tailgate strut cylinder. This may cause corrosion which may affect the strut's attachment.
Replace both tailgate struts on affected vehicles
TAILGATE MAY DROP DOWN WITHOUT WARNING
Water may penetrate the tailgate strut cylinder. This may cause corrosion which may affect the strut's attachment.
Replace both tailgate struts on affected vehicles
MOUNTING POINTS FOR SEAT RUNNER MAY FAIL
One or more of the mounting points between the runner and the driver�s seat may fail.
On affected vehicles inspect the driver�s seat frame to determine if seat lifter links are damaged. If no damage is evident fit reinforcement brackets and �push nuts�. If damage is present to the seat lifter link replace seat frame. If damage is restricted to stabilizer bar then the bar will be repaired plus brackets and� push nuts� fitted.

AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION
It has been identified that the density of the propellant within the airbag inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this condition the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of the airbag deployment allowing the inner pressure of the inflator to increase abnormally resulting in the breakage of the inflator case. In this condition the airbags will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact as the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the driver and/or front seat passenger.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver and passenger front airbag inflators with modified units.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Carbonised grease may accumulate between the contact points in the ignition switch reducing the insulation performance inside the switch. In this condition the switch may generate heat resulting in smoke and in the worst case a fire.
On affected vehicles replace the ignition switch.

FUEL MAY LEAK
On affected vehicles silicone may have adhered to the welding surface of the rollover valve (ROV) fitted to the fuel tank during production The presence of silicone may have an effect on the welding causing the possibility of a fuel leak.
Replace fuel tank on affected vehicles.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Silicone may have adhered to the welding surface of the roll-over valve (ROV) fitted to the fuel tank. The presence of silicone may have an effect on the welding causing the possibility of a fuel leak.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel tank.
STEERING MAY FAIL
The lower nut & bolt securing the front shock absorber to the steering knuckle on either side of the affected vehicles may not have been tightened to specification. The bolt may work loose causing a rattling sound and could fall out.
On affected vehicles replace bolts retaining the front shock absorbers to steering knuckles
DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Continued exposure to high levels of absolute humidity may cause the driver�s front airbag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver�s front airbag. Should the inflator rupture it could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other vehicle occupants.
On affected vehicles replace air bag inflator
