ABS FUNCTION MAY BE INOPERATIVE
On affected vehicles air lines and/or electric wiring may not have been correctly installed. This may allow them to chafe against the propshaft when the frame is fully powered. This may affect the ABS and if the spring chamber feed pipe is damaged cause the spring brake actuators to operate and lock the wheels on the rear axle.
Inspect affected air lines and wiring; replace where necessary; reroute airlines and wiring.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
The electrical lines and/or compressed air lines may chafe through in the area of the second axle. When the electrical wires are abraded the wire can short and illuminate appropriate warning lamps in the cab. It is also possible though much less likely for the air line to the spring brake to abrade and eventually release sufficient air for the spring brake to apply and lock the rear axle. The service brake line is protected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the routing of the wiring harness. Replace the possibly chafed sensor and/or compressed air lines.

BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
The brake fluid container may not have been inserted far enough into its mounts or was not secured correctly which can result in it detaching and a loss of brake fluid. The driver could become aware of this by the gradual deterioration of brake performance by having to press the brake pedal further. This can consequently increase the risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the brake fluid reservoir on the affected vehicles to ensure it is properly engaged and if necessary fix it in the correct position.

THREADED CONNECTION OF THE RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT END FITTING MAY FAIL IN A COLLISION
Due to a deviation in the manufacturing process the retaining bolt for the right rear seal belt may not have been tightened to the correct specification. In the event of a collision the belt may fail.
Where necessary rework threaded connection tighten securing bolt to correct specification.

Where necessary rework threaded connection tighten securing bolt to correct specification.
RISK OF FIRE
The exhaust tailpipe variants K7D K7C and K7N can become loose. Variant K7D can fall away from the vehicle leading to a heightened risk of incident for other road users. Where an exhaust gas leak occurs this can constitute a risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the seal of the exhaust tail pipe flange with a metal bead gasket.
ENGINE MAY STALL/STOP UNEXPECTEDLY
The connection of the carbon drive shaft to the engine/transmission flange may not be to specification. Warnings of the development of the concern are: there will be noise malfunctions in the transmission and in isolated cases loss of drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the drive shaft. If necessary the drive shaft will be replaced.

The exhaust tailpipe variants K7D K7C and K7N can become loose. Variant K7D can fall away from the vehicle leading to a heightened risk of incident for other road users. Where an exhaust gas leak occurs this can constitute a risk of fire.

SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY FAIL
A seat mounting may not conform to specifications. This may also impact on seat belt mountings and in the event of a collision the seat and/or belt may not act as intended.
On affected vehicles replace seat mounting console
ENGINE MAY STALL/STOP UNEXPECTEDLY
The engine may stop when braking from lower speeds right before the vehicle comes to a standstill. The concern might be interpreted by the driver as a planned engine stop as part of the automatic stop/start system and the engine will not restart after release of the brake pedal. Depending on traffic situation there could be an increased risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software.
RISK OF FIRE
A threaded connection in the Prefuse box may not be tightened to the correct specification. This may excessive resistance and create a heat source. This could cause a fire. Additionally vibration may cause power disruption which could affect the operation of steering power assistance ABS SRS and/or instrument failure..
On affected vehicles check threaded connection and where necessary replace fuse box.
ELECTRICAL STSTEMS AND LIGHTS MAY FAIL
The power supply lines for the cab electrical system may not be fastened correctly at the electrical connecting point mounted on the cab firewall and as a result may be loose. A loose cable can cause implausible displays and fault messages and a complete detachment from the connecting point can lead to a complete failure of the vehicle electronics including the lights.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the fastening for the power supply at the electrical connecting point and if necessary correct the fastening and connections.
STEERING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A lock nut on a rear suspension tie rod may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. It may not act as intended even tightened to specification. It is unlikely the rod will disconnect but it may loosen and affect the vehicle's handling characteristics.
On affected vehicles replace the rear tie rod lock nuts.
MAINTENANCE FLAP MAY DETACH FROM VEHICLE
The locking forces of the maintenance flap may not be to specification. At high speed and in combination with strong gusts of wind the plastic maintenance flap may detach from the vehicle and may pose an increased risk of injury for following road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the locks of the maintenance flap.
ENGINE MAY LOSE POWER
The subject vehicle could unexpectedly lose drive and coast to a halt with no motive power due to a software issue in the powertrain control unit. In certain circumstances it is possible that the risk of collision is heightened.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software of the power train control unit.
SEAT BELT MAY FAIL
The mounting screws of the belt guide brackets at both the left hand and right hand C-Pillars may not have been tightened correctly. Therefore the seat belt/s may not perform as intended increasing the risk of injury during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and correct the fixing for the mounting screw of the belt guide brackets.
