FUEL RETURN HOSE MAY LEAK
It is possible that a crack may form in the fuel return hose. If this does occur this may lead to an escape of fuel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose and fuel return pipe.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY REQUIRE MORE EFFORT THAN EXPECTED
In isolated cases it is possible for vibrations within the vehicle to in turn vibrate the wiring harness connected to the Sensotronic Brake Control unit. This causes the internal contacts within the unit to suffer abrasion and subsequent resistance increase. The resultant affect is that more effort will be required on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and mount an additional bracket to the electrical harness to prevent relative movement.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY REQUIRE MORE EFFORT THAN EXPECTED
Problems may occur with the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) hydraulic unit that could affect the input required by the driver to stop the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected so the SBC hydraulic unit can be checked and if necessary replaced.

STEERING RELAY IDLER ARM MAY FAIL
The possibility exists that stress failure of the steering idler arm may occur which may result in defective steering control.
Affected vehicles will be recalled and fitted with a quality assured steering idler arm.
BRAKE PEDAL TO MASTER CYLINDER CLEVIS PIN CAN BECOME DETACHED
The clevis pin which secures the brake master cylinder push rod to the brake pedal cross shaft may become detached due to the possible non-fitment of the securing clip.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be checked for the installation of the securing clip. Should it be found that the securing clip has not been fitted one will be installed.

Likely to be affected vehicles will be checked for the installation of the securing clip. Should it be found that the securing clip has not been fitted one will be installed.
RISK OF A SHORT CIRCUIT
The battery main cable may chafe on a bracket which may lead to a short circuit
Recalled vehicles will have an additional bracket fitted which has been deficient from production.
THE BLOWER REGULATOR MAY FAIL
The possibility exists that the heater blower regulator may fail resulting in an increase in temperature and the possibility of a fire.
Recalled vehicles will be retro-fitted with a wiring harness which incorporates a fuse holder.

A HYDRAULIC LINE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAY LEAK
A hydraulic line in the braking system may leak
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a modified brake pipe
A HYDRAULIC LINE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAY LEAK
A hydraulic line in the braking system may leak
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a modified brake pipe
SIDE AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY
Due to incorrect wiring there is a possibility that the side airbags could deploy without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the wiring. Incorrect wiring will be modified to correct setting.
ISOFIX ANCHORAGE MAY ALLOW THE CHILD SEAT TO DETACH IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISON
The ISOFIX anchorage may allow the child seat to be come detachedin the event of a collision.
Customers will be contacted and given a full refund in respect of the original child seat. Customers will then be offered a replacement seat from a different manufacturer free of charge.
ENGINE SPEED MAY REDUCE OR SHUT DOWN DUE TO SOFTWARE ERROR
It is possible that the engine speed may reduce or in extreme cases shut down due to a software error in the engine management unit
Recall affected vehicles and install revised software in the control unit. In most cases this will resolve the problem. In isolated cases it may be necessary to replace the control unit.

Recall affected vehicles and install revised software in the control unit. In most cases this will resolve the problem. In isolated cases it may be necessary to replace the control unit.
THE MOUNTING OF THE FOOT OPERATED PARKING BRAKE PEDAL MAY DETACH
Mounting of the foot operated parking brake pedal may permit the mounting to become loose and in extreme cases the assembly may become detached from the mounting bracket.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the pedal assembly with a quality assured component.

POSSIBILITY OF REDUCED BRAKING EFFICIENCY
Premature wear of the Sensatronic Brake Control (SBC) unit may lead to a reduced braking efficiency
Recall affected vehicles download the latest software. Following the download the system will advise when the SBC hydraulic unit requires replacement.

TYRE VALVES MAY LEAK WHERE FITTED IN WHEEL.
The tyre valve may not be to specification and could leak at its fitting in the wheel.
Recall the affected vehicles and fit new tyre valves that comply with the specification.
HANDBRAKE CABLE MAY SNAP
Possibility that the handbrake cable may snap
