WHERE TAIL PIPE IS WELDED TO THE EXHAUST SILENCER A CRACK MAY APPEAR
Exhaust tailpipe section may crack at silencer weld.
Check and replace silencer if cracked. Fit support bracket if not cracked.
INAPPROPRIATE WATER PROOF STRUCTURE OF THE FRONT DECK
Due to inappropriate water proof structure of the front deck water can drop on the wiper link. The wiper link ball joint may corrode and cause excessive wear of the resin part of the ball joint. In the worst case the wiper link may detach itself and the windshield wipers may be inoperative.
The water proof pad has been added to the end of wiper link rubber boot since April 1st 2016
PARKING BRAKE CALIPER SHAFT BOOTS INCORRECTLY SEALED
Due to improper sealing of parking brake caliper shaft boots water might penetrate inside and rust the shaft. As the result of continuous use the rust will erode into the internal caliper and the shaft becomes stuck causing decreased parking brake force. Due to improper manufacturing process automatic adjuster for brake pad clearance of rear brake caliper might not work properly. As the result as brake pad wear the clearance is not correctly adjusted and brake force becomes insufficient to hold a vehicle. In the worst case scenario parking brake will not work even though a lever is fully operated and parked vehicle may move.
Anti-rust coating (Fluorine) has been applied to parking brake shaft from 27/01/2016 supplied parts & the Inspection process for the caliper has been changed from 14/12/2014 supplied parts.

DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM MAY MALFUNCTION IN HOT TEMPERATURES
The locking mechanism in the door latch assembly may not operate properly in high temperatures. As a result the door may not latch correctly and may unintentionally open whilst driving. This may affect one or more doors depending on vehicle identification number.
Modified assemblies are available and the remedy is to replace door latch mechanisms as identified by the manufacturer.

WATER INGRESS MAY CAUSE WINDSCREEN WIPERS TO FAIL
Due to inappropriate waterproofing water may be drawn into the front wiper motor and/or may cause corrosion of the wiper link ball joint. This may over time cause the wipers to fail.
On affected vehicles replace the wiper motor which has a modified breather and wiper link ball joint.
PROPELLANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY BE DETIORATED
The propellant in the passengers front airbag inflator may deteriorate due to high temperature and humid conditions over a longer period in use. As a result the inflator body may rupture during airbag deployment and may injure occupants.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger airbag inflator.
DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM MAY MALFUNCTION IN HOT TEMPERATURES
The locking mechanism in the door latch assembly may not operate properly in high temperatures. As a result the door may latch correctly and may unintentionally open whilst driving.
A modified assembly is available and depending on vehicle identification number the remedy is to replace either both O/S door latches or on all four doors.

A modified assembly is available and depending on vehicle identification number the remedy is to replace either both O/S door latches or on all four doors.
ECU RELAY MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE ECU TO MALFUNCTION
The engine Electronic Control Unit Relay may overheat and fail. This could interrupt power supply to the engine and will cause the engine malfunction warning lamp to illuminate. The engine may stall and may not restart.
On affected vehicles the engine ECU power relay will be replaced with a new relay.

TAILGATE GAS SPRING END CAP MAY CORRODE AND COME OFF
Anti-corrosion treatment of the gas spring end cap in production was insufficient. The tailgate gas spring end cap corrodes to such an extent that the gas pressure inside can force the end cap to come off. In the worst case the end cap can hit the customer and/or the tailgate can fall down suddenly and result in possible injury.
The anti-corrosion coating has been improved in vehicle production. On affected vehicles the rear tailgate gas springs will be replaced with improved gas springs.
WATER INGRESS MAY DAMAGE THE WIPER MOTOR
Due to inappropriate water proof structure of the front deck water can ingress into the wiper motor. Water accumulated around the air breather hole might enter into the wiper motor when the motor is cooling down after operation. As a result the internal part of the front wiper motor may rust and seize In the worst case the wiper motor may not operate.
The waterproof fabric has been introduced to the air breather cap since 10/01/2014 for RHD wiper motors. Check which type of breather cap is fitted and replace with new motor if the latest waterproof type is not fitted.
PROPELLANT IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATORS MAY HAVE DETERIORATED
The propellant (ammonium nitrate) in the inflator of the drivers and passengers front airbag inflator may deteriorate due to high temperature and humid conditions over a longer period in use. As a result the inflator body may rupture during airbag deployment in the event of an accident where the airbags are required to be deployed. The inflator body may rupture during airbag deployment with the potential to cause injury.
Replacement of the driver and passenger front airbag inflators.
