Showing 1676–1700 of 1,787 recalls.
WHEEL RIMS MAY CRACK
It has been identified that a number of vehicles have been fitted with steel road wheels which may crack.
Recalled vehicles will be checked in order to identify any suspect wheel rims which if found will be changed for quality assured items.
STEERING MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible that the steering box mounting bolts may not have been correctly installed. This may result in the bolts becoming loose which could affect the driver's directional control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the subject bolts.
POTENTIAL LEAK OF BRAKE LINE
Corrosion may occur in the brake line to the front/rear axle distibuter. If left unattended this could result in brake fluid leakage and loss of brake efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake pipe with one of a modified design.

Corrosion may occur in the brake line to the front/rear axle distibuter. If left unattended this could result in brake fluid leakage and loss of brake efficiency.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake pipe with one of a modified design.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the case of an incident where the air bags deploy as a result of the offside window bag module possibly having been fitted with a defective diffuser the air bag may not fully inflate and parts of the window bag module may detach and fly into the interior compartment at high speeds.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the offside window bag module.
AIRBAG MAY NOT INFLATE CORRECTLY
In the case of an incident where the air bags deploy as a result of the offside window bag module possibly having been fitted with a defective diffuser the air bag may not fully inflate and parts of the window bag module may detach and fly into the interior compartment at high speeds.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the offside window bag module.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The engine may stop as a result of the fuel feed lines from tank to engine leaking and or separating because they were not manufactured to the correct specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel feed lines.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
The engine may stop as a result of the fuel feed lines from tank to engine leaking and or separating because they were not manufactured to the correct specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel feed lines.
WHEEL BEARING MAY FAIL
It is possible that water ingress into the front axle hub through a seal can cause corrosion which ultimately could result in failure of the wheel bearing. If not rectified this could ultimately result in detachment of the hub and wheel assembly.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the front hub assemblies.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identified that a possible poor contact with the fuel pump relay in the fuse and relay module unit may affect the operation of the fuel pump and cause the engine to cut out.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the manufacturing date of the fuse and relay module unit and it necessary replace it.
WHEEL BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE
It has been identified that under extreme driving conditions single wheel bolts may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the front wheels and wheel bolts replaced.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible that the differential lock switches may have been supplied with a defective printed circuit board. This could result in the differential not engaging turning off without warning or in the worst case the differential may engage without warning which could affect directional control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the differential switches.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It is possible that an incorrect size terminal may have been fitted to the starter wiring harness. It could result in the wiring not being crimped correctly and cause a detachment of the wiring which could result in a short circuit.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the starter-alternator wiring harness.
CRASH SIGNAL PROTOCOL MAY NOT OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
A software error may exist in the airbag control unit which can prevent a crash signal being generated in the event of a rear-end collision. As a result automatic unlocking of the doors and switching on of the hazard lamps cannot be assured.
The recalled vehicles will have the airbag control unit replaced.
MALFUNCTION OF CLUTCH CONTROL MAY LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE
A malfunction within the clutch control may occur which if 1st or 2nd gear is selected it may not be possible to stop the vehicle using the service brake.
Recalled vehicles will have the gear control unit replaced. Additionally following checking the clutch control unit may also require replacement.
SUSPENSION SPRING MAY FRACTURE
It has been identified that during manufacture insufficient wax was applied to the front of the rear axle road springs. This in extreme circumstances can lead to failure of the spring.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear road spring front mounting brackets replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK
In the event of the vehicle being involved in an accident fuel may leak from the fuel tank.
Recalled vehicles will have the production date of the fuel tank checked. The tank will be replaced if found to be within the affected range.
ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Wiring harness from starter to alternator may detach power supply will fail and wiring may short circuit.
Recall affected vehicles check and if necessary replace harness.
FUEL MAY LEAK
In the event of the vehicle being involved in an accident fuel may leak from the fuel tank.
Recalled vehicles will have the production date of the fuel tank checked. The tank will be replaced if found to be within the affected range.
WHEEL FLANGES MAY SPLIT
The wheel flanges may not be of sufficient strength and may split.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit modified wheels.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a fuel line may not have been fitted correctly and may leak.
Recalled vehicles will be checked for the presence of fuel leaks if evident the fuel line and fittings will be replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a fuel line may not have been fitted correctly and may leak.
Recalled vehicles will be checked for the presence of fuel leaks if evident the fuel line and fittings will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
A fuse within an electronic control module may become loose. This can result in the vehicle failing to start. In the worst case the engine may cut out whilst the vehicle is being driven.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject module replaced.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY NOT ILLUMINATE.
Instrument cluster may not illuminate at all times.
Recall vehicles and check the function of the instrument panel. If found to be faulty the instrument panel will be changed.
