STEERING SHAFT MAY LOOSEN
The steering column shaft may not have been tightened correctly. If left this will progress to steering wheel free movement and knocking noise. Ultimately there will be a loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the steering shaft for security. If the steering shaft is insecure the shaft must be replaced.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified that due to a faulty control unit the airbag might not deploy in the event of a collision.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional cable tie to the battery to starter motor cable.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
The routing of the stater motor wiring harness may be incorrect with the attendant risk of a short circuit occurring.
Recall vehicles and check the routing of the subject wiring harness taking corrective action as necessary.
SEAT BELT MAY DE-LATCH
Excessive side movement within the driver's seat belt buckle may cause the seat belt to de-latch.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject seat belt buckle checked for excessive side movement. The buckle will be replaced if excessive movement is evident.
RISK OF FIRE
The alternator wiring harness ducting may foul adjacent components with the result that under extreme conditions overheating may occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the condition of the ducting checked and the wiring re-routed.
SUSPENSION MAY CRACK
There is a possibility of the front wishbones cracking which if ignored could in the worst case lead to front suspension detachment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to carry out a specific check sequence and then to inspect the wishbones. Where any signs of cracking is found both the wishbones are to be replaced.

Recall all affected vehicles to have the seat checked repaired or replaced.
CLUTCH MAY FAIL
The possibility exists that on a certain number of vehicles air pockets can build up in the clutch hydraulics system which will lead to difficulty in changing gear and selecting neutral..
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the central clutch release bearing the bracket for the clutch booster and the clutch control unit.
ENGINE MAY REVERT TO LIMP HOME MODE
The differential pressure sensor for the diesel particulate filter can fail due to contamination of the protective gel layer by exhaust gases. This will result in the car reverting to limp home mode (restricted engine speed).
Replace the differential pressure sensor with the latest modified type.

REAR SEAT LOCK SPRINGS MAY NOT BE CORRECTLY LOCATED
The mountings for the rear bench seat runners may not be correctly secured into the floor.
Recall the likely to be affected vehicles and check the security of the back seat bench. If necessary re-lock the back seat bench runner mountings into the floor.
WIPER ARM MAY FRACTURE
It has been identified that during the manufacturing process a notch may have been formed on the wiper arm which in extreme cases can cause the arm to fracture.
Recalled vehicles will have the wiper arm inspected and replaced if found to be suffering from this defect.
SUSPENSION CARRIER LINK MAY FAIL
Increased wear on the transversal compound spring front axle may lead to failure of a carrier link and the separation of the ball pivot and casing.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected and the suspension carrier links will be replaced if they are not of the latest type.
