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.
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.

On affected vehicles replace the left window air bag.
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.
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.
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.

STEERING COLUMN COUPLING MAY NOT BE TIGHT
Insufficient tightening of the steering column coupling could lead to wear of the steering coupling during use. In case of excessive wear of the steering coupling the coupling eventually may not transfer the effort the driver inputs to the steering to the steering gear in which case the steering control would be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering column coupling.
BRAKES MAY OVERHEAT CREATING A RISK OF SMOKE AND/OR FIRE
The software for the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is faulty. The fault could lead to a low residual pressure in the hydraulic system so the brakes are applied and gain heat. This increased heat will apply the brakes further and could adversely affect the brake fluid. Fire in the wheel housing cannot be ruled out.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software for the ESP.

STEERING WHEEL MAY COME LOOSE
The screw securing the steering wheel to the splines may be missing. This can lead to loss of directional control thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check for the presence of the retaining screw where necessary a screw will be fitted.
