Check the glass panel bonding on the affected vehicles and replace the sliding roof if necessary
THE BONDING BETWEEN THE GLASS PANEL AND THE SLIDING ROOF FRAME MAY NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS
The bonding between the glass panel and the sliding roof frame might not meet specifications
Check the glass panel bonding on the affected vehicles and replace the sliding roof if necessary
THE GLASS PANEL OF THE SLIDING ROOF MAY NOT HAVE BEEN BONDED CORRECTLY
The glass panel of the sliding roof might not have been bonded properly.
Replace the glass panel of the panoramic roof on the affected vehicles
FRONT PANEL AND REAR FIXED SECTION OF PANORAMIC GLASS SUNROOF MAY NOT BE BONDED CORRECTLY
Panoramic glass sunroof the front panel and rear fixed section may not be bonded correctly
Check and replace the frame of the panoramic glass sunroof if necessary.
DRIVER'S AIRBAG GAS GENERATOR HOUSING FAILURE DURING DEPLOYMENT
On affected vehicles it has been determined that drivers airbags with potentially faulty gas generator housing material may have been installed in vehicles of model series 156 176 246 205 238 & 253. If the material of the gas generator housing fails during airbag deployment in the event of a crash the airbag system would possibly no longer have a restraint effect. In addition separating parts could enter the passenger compartment. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.
On affected vehicles replace the driver�s airbag
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN STEERING ASSEMBLY MAY BE INSUFFICIENTLY GROUNDED
The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to establish sufficient grounding of the steering components
STEERING COMPONENTS MAY BE INSUFFICIENTLY GROUNDED
It has been determined that the steering airbag electrical components are insufficiently grounded. Failure of the steering column module clock spring could result in an inadvertent deployment of the driver airbag which may cause risk of injury to the driver and an increased risk of a potential collision.
On affected vehicles the manufacturer will fit a contact bridge to the outer race of the steering column top bearing which will provide correct grounding.
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN STEERING ASSEMBLY MAY BE INSUFFICIENTLY GROUNDED
The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to establish sufficient grounding of the steering components.
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN STEERING ASSEMBLY MAY BE INSUFFICIENTLY GROUNDED
The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to establish sufficient grounding of the steering components.
VACUUM LINE BRAKE BOOSTER MAY BREAK
The connection fitting of the vacuum line to the brake booster is not to specification and my not be durable. If the connection fails the brake booster will no longer be supplied with vacuum. After a few brake applications the driver will have to apply additional pressure to the brake pedal to gain the appropriate braking effect.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the vacuum line on the brake booster with a quality assured component.
LEFT AND RIGHT WINDOW AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The left and right widow airbags may not meet specification. As a result they may not deploy in the event of an accident.
On affected vehicles replace the left and right window air bags.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The propellant mixing ratio in the igniters of the front passenger airbag assembly may not meet specification. If the airbag is required and activated it might not deploy or not completely deploy. This could increase the risk of injury to the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
RIGHT WINDOW AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The right widow airbag may not meet specification. As a result it may not deploy in the event of an accident.
On affected vehicles replace the right window air bag.
STARTING CURRENT LIMITER MAY OVERLOAD
Where the car incurs severe engine damage resulting in the engine failing to turn over (engine seizure) and if the driver repeatedly attempts to start the engine despite the engine not cranking the very high electrical current could lead to overheating of the starting current limiter and the potential for a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install an additional fuse in the electrical line to the starter.
LEFT WINDOW AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The left widow airbag may not meet specification. As a result it may not deploy in the event of an accident.
On affected vehicles replace the left window air bag.
FAULTY CONTROL UNIT MAY CAUSE VEHICLE TO PERFORM OUTSIDE SPECIFICATION
Where a control unit coding was updated in a workshop between 3 December 2016 and 5 December 2016 the coding may not correspond to the specification and may trigger unplanned action in the vehicle. The safety and emissions systems may not react as design intent.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software in the corresponding control units.
MAINTENANCE FLAP GLASS MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the bonding on the glass panel of the rear left upper maintenance flap may not be to specification. This may allow the glass to vibrate and can result in either the failure (shattering) of the glass panel or the detachment of the glass panel from the frame. This can cause a risk to other road users following the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and fit rubber buffers an additional retention medium and protective film.
VEHICLE MAY STALL
A potentially faulty weld between the plate carrier and the hub of a clutch could be faulty/cracked and could fail. This can cause limp-home mode to be adopted or all drive to be lost. As a result the risk of a collision is heightened.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the dual clutch of the transmission.
RISK OF FIRE
The high pressure fuel lines have not been manufactured to the correct specification which over time can lead to crack formation and fuel leaking. Fuel escaping in the presence of an ignition source could lead to fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high pressure fuel lines.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
On certain petrol engines the camshafts may not have been correctly manufactured. They may fail causing engine damage and the engine to stall
On affected vehicles replace camshafts.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The camshaft could break and damage the engine due to it not being manufactured to the correct specification. If the condition occurs it will lead to a sudden loss of drive thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust camshaft.
