Showing 1751–1775 of 1,787 recalls.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
There is a possibility of a fractured air pipe penetrating the wiring harness and/or an oil pipe fracturing with the possibility of causing a fire hazard
Recall affected vehicles and re-route and clamp the subject air pipe so that it is clear of the wiring harness and the replacement of the oil pipe.
REAR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY
Rear Seat Belt may not engage correctly
Recall affected vehicles and replace seat belt buckle
BONNET COULD OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
It is possible that due to a previous minor collision which the driver may have considered insignificant the bonnet securing hook may have been damaged which could result in the opening of the bonnet if it has not been closed correctly.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the hook with a modified hook.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It is possible that the steering coupling at the union with the steering gear may not be correctly positioned and/or sufficiently torqued. This could lead to the steering gear becoming detached from the steering column with subsequent loss of steering control.
Check the position of the steering coupling and the fasteners for correct torque.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED STEERING FLUID
An oversize hose clamp may allow a gradual loss of Power Assisted Steering Fluid over a period of time.
Recall affected vehicles and replace hose clamp with modified type.
POSSIBLE FAULT IN AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE
A component inside the air bag control unit may become defective - Air bag may not deploy in a collision
Replace Air Bag control module
POSSIBLE FAULT IN AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE
A component inside the control module may become defective - Air bag may not deploy in a collision
Replace Air Bag control module.
POSSIBLE MOVEMENT OF BRAKE PADS WITHIN CALIPER
The front brake pad anti-rattle spring mounting bolts may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This could result in the brake pads moving about in the caliper.
Check and if required re-torque the anti-rattle spring mounting bolts.
REAR SIDE LIGHTS AND NUMBER PLATE LIGHT MAY FAIL
A combination switch may fail. If this occurs the rear side lights and number plate lights will fail to function. (Brake lights and indicators will operate as normal).
Recall vehicles and replace the combination switch.
BRAKE PEDAL STOP FRACTURES
The brake pedal return stop bracket may fracture and permit the pedal to rise above its normal rest position. This could delay application of the brake in an emergency.
Install a supplementary brake pedal stop bracket.
STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY DEFECT
As a result of incorrect manufacture the possibility exists that a fracture may occur in the steering shaft assembly between the steering box and the steering column.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the steering shaft assembly.
BRAKE PEDAL STOP BRACKET CONCERN
The brake pedal return stop bracket may fracture and permit the pedal to rise above its normal rest position. This could delay application of the brake in an emergency.
Install a supplementary brake pedal stop bracket.
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG
Exposure to high humidity conditions may result in corrosion that can cause the drivers front air bag to deploy unintentionally.
Recall affected vehicles and replace air bag.
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG
Exposure to high humidity conditions may result in corrosion that can cause the drivers front air bag to deploy unintentionally.
Recall affected vehicles and replace air bag.
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG
Exposure to high humidity conditions may result in corrosion that can cause the drivers front air bag to deploy unintentionally.
Recall affected vehicles and replace air bag.
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG
Exposure to high humidity conditions may result in corrosion that can cause the drivers front air bag to deploy unintentionally.
Recall affected vehicles and replace air bag.
BRAKES MAY NOT PERFORM TO SPECIFICATION
Due to an internal issue with the brake master cylinder it is possible that when the vehicle is operated at ambient temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius there maybe an increase in brake travel which may increase stopping distances.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the brake master cylinder.
EXHAUST PIPE MAY BREAK
There is a possibility that the end part of the exhaust pipe could break off at the welding seam to the rear of the muffler. Hot exhaust gases could in isolated cases cause the risk of substantial consequential heat damage in the rear region of the vehicle.
Recall affected vehicles and replace rear exhaust section with a stainless steel version if not already replaced due to regular muffler wear.
FIRE IN AUXILIARY HEATER WIRING LOOM
Electrical fault in the 24 volt supply to the auxiliary heater resulted in a fire.
INTERIM REMEDY:- Disconnect and insulate the electrical supply to the heater and turn off the fuel supply tap.
FIRE IN AUXILIARY HEATER WIRING LOOM
Electrical fault in the 24 volt supply to the auxiliary heater resulted in a fire.
INTERIM REMEDY:- Disconnect and insulate the electrical supply to the heater and turn off the fuel supply tap.
BRAKE IMBALANCE
The rear axle load sensing valve may become defective resulting in uneven braking effort between the left and right hand rear wheels.
Recall vehicles check and if required replace the load sensing (ALB) valve.
POSSIBLE FRACTURE OF WHEEL RIM
Weld securing the wheel rim to the wheel centre may fracture and result in loss of steering control.
Recall affected vehicles and replace all suspect wheels with quality assured new ones.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF PAS OIL
Insufficient tightening of the power assisted steering damper screw may result in oil leakage. This oil may in extreme circumstances contact the exhaust system with the risk of an under bonnet fire.
Recall affected vehicles and check the torque of the steering damper fastening screw. Replace the damper O ring seals if they are leaking.
POSSIBLE FIRE RISK
Due to a short circuit there is a possibility that the heater blower motor regulator may overheat Charring and smouldering may occur if ignored.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the blower motor regulator with a quality assured unit.
HANDBRAKE MAY SELF RELEASE
The handbrake button may become sticky in operation and in certain circumstances may result in self release of the handbrake.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the handbrake lever.
