POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL
The control unit for the steered trailing axle may crack due to a warped fixing bracket and allow the ingress of moisture.This may cause a short circuit. Normally a yellow fault message will appear and the system will immediately default to safe passive steering mode. However it is possible the defect may have an adverse affect on the performance of the axle whilst the vehicle is in motion.
On affected vehicles replace the control unit bracket Check and if necessary replace the control unit.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
A seal between bonnet and engine compartment may when the bonnet is opened temporarily stick to the bonnet. If this happens the seal may detach form its fixing and can fall into the gap between engine and partition wall. It is then possible the seal can make contact with the exhaust and under certain conditions catch fire.
On affected vehicles install additional clips to retain the seal.

SERVICE COVER MAY NOT BE SECURE
The existing locking mechanism is not sufficient to secure the service cover situated at the rear left. The cover could open whilst the bus is in motion and be a danger to other roadusers.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and secure the rear left service cover with a retaining strap.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
The water droplets formed by condensation at the roof panels can drip into the circuit board of the auxiliary switch panel. The condensation will affect for example rear lamp clusters saloon heating. If not rectified eventually smoke with the attendant smell could occur and after a time there is a theoretical risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a cover over the auxiliary switch panel.
OIL MAY LEAK
On vehicles with affected engines the 'O' ring may not have been produced to the correct specification. This may allow oil to leak and contaminate the environment. If excessive oil is lost engine damage may occur.
On affected vehicles replace the chain tensioner sealing ring.
STEERING MAY BE RESTRICTED
On affected vehicles the steering may be considerably restricted due to a faulty steering angle sensor
On affected vehicles check sensor and replace steering gear including steering angle sensor if necessary
SEAT BASE MAY CRACK
The Front radius angles in the driver�s and passenger metal seat base may not have been formed correctly and as a result the seat base may suffer from stress cracks which could compromise the strength of the seat base in the unlikely event of a rear end collision. The seat belt system is an integrated part of the seat.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the driver and passenger seat bases.

BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been established that Oil Carbon and Granulated Dust contamination could cause the ventilation function of the Shutoff and Safety Valve to be impaired. The internal air pressure of the Safety Valve can therefore increase from 18.5bar to over 40bar. This can result in the failure/rupture of the top section of the housing of the air drier cartridge. The brake system will remain operation to enable the driver to bring the vehicle to a control stop after they hear the rupture.
Recall all affected vehicle to install a pressure limiting valve.
OIL MAY LEAK
On certain diesel engines the 'O' ring may not have been produced to the correct specification. This may allow oil to leak and contaminate the environment. If excessive oil is lost engine damage may occur.
On affected vehicles replace the chain tensioner sealing ring.

STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The bolt retaining the trailing arm to the front air bellows support may not be tightened to manufacturer specifications. In extreme cases the bolt can work loose and may interfere with a steering link. This can cause the steering to stick for a brief period.
On affected vehicles check tightness of bolts and where necessary tighten to the correct specification.
