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.
HEATER BOOSTER CONCERN
Electrical heater booster may fail to switch off after the vehicle has been parked. This in extreme cases may lead to an under bonnet fire.
Recall affected vehicles and install a relay and temperature controlled cut out to control the electrical heater booster.
ENGINE DRIVE-TRAIN CONTROL UNIT EFFECTIVENESS
Current parameters of engine drive-train control unit may not effectively control wheel slip under hard acceleration in adverse conditions.
Reprogramme engine drive-train control unit.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID
There may be insufficient clearance between the front brake hoses and the tyre inner wall. In the long term this could result in damage to the brake hose(s) with a risk of fluid loss.
The affected vehicles are being recalled for installation of a spacer to ensure adequate clearance between the front brake hoses and the tyre walls. Any hoses showing signs of previous contact will be changed.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE VACUUM ASSISTANCE
In a small number of cases leaks may occur in the vacuum line between the engine and the power brake unit. This would result in a need for increased brake pedal pressure when braking.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of the latest version vacuum line.
FRACTURE OF METAL BRAKE PIPE
As a result of vibration the metal pipe from the brake master cylinder to the residual pressure valve may fracture resulting in the loss of the rear braking circuit. Because of the unique body design specific to one customer in the UK market no other
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of two new metal brake pipes which have an improved securing arrangement.
RESTRICTED MOVEMENT OF HANDBRAKE PAWL
As a result of insufficient lubrication at the initial assembly the handbrake pawl operating rod may not have sufficient movement. This could inhibit its correct engagement in the teeth of the of the handbrake ratchet.
Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the handbrake unit and lubrication of the pawl mechanism. Any damaged parts will be replaced at the inspection.
ROAD WHEEL SECURITY
The wheel nuts do not meet the manufacturer's specification. This could result in road wheel loss.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the original wheel nuts with quality assured examples.
INCORRECT BRAKE CALIPERS MAY BE FITTED
In isolated instances a floating caliper may have been installed in combination with a ventilated brake disc at the offside front wheel station. Should this be the case excess caliper movement may occur as pad wear progresses.
Recall the affected vehicles to check for the correct caliper/disc combination replacing any incorrect calipers with the correct version
BRAKE PEDAL MAY BECOME JAMMED
The heads of the bolts securing the retarder actuating bracket to the brake pedal may contact the retarder microswitch and cause the brake pedal to jam.
Recall the affected vehicles for the removal of any protrusion on the retarder switch support bracket and the fitment of the countersunk bolts between the retarder actuating bracket and the brake pedal.
