Showing 26–33 of 33 recalls.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
It is possible that the parking brake cable may not be properly located in the rear brake shoes parking brake operating lever. It is therefore possible if the cable is not secure that the cable may become loose during driving which will result in the failure of the handbrake if not rectified.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required secure the cable.
REAR WHEEL AND HUB MAY DETACH
The rear wheel hubs may come loose which will produce noise to warn the driver. However should the driver continue to driver the vehicle it is possible that the wheel and hub will detach from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hub bolts and where necessary also replace the wheel hubs.
CLUTCH MAY FAIL
The fixing clip for the clutch master cylinder pipe has insufficient clamping force to retain the pipe on the cylinder. This can result in detachment of the pipe and subsequent loss of clutch operation.
Recall affected vehicles and replace fixing clip with modified stronger version.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It is possible for the engine wiring harness to chaff on a security bracket. If this is allowed to continue this could result in a short circuit in the starter motor circuit which can cause the starter to operate whilst the vehicle is being driven. This will cause the starter to overheat and possibly cause a fire.
Recall the affected vehicles to inspect and insulate the wiring if required.
LACK OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
It has been identified that after the vehicle has been stationary for some length of time increased pressure may need to be applied to the footbrake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop. This is due to insufficient vacuum assistance within the brake booster due to a failure of the check valve. It should be noted that on the second application of the footbrake the check valve will operate as designed and the brakes will operate as normal.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake booster check valve replaced.
STOP LIGHTS MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
It has been identified that as the result of the manufacturing process silicon grease may have contaminated the stop lamp switch contacts. This can result in oxidation of the contacts and prevent the stop lamps operating when the footbrake is applied.
Recalled vehicles will have the stop lamp switch replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
When a driver sequentially performs a quick gear shift down (high rpm 6th to 5th to 4th gear etc)during high speed driving (high engine load) the engine ECU can judge the engine to run in overrun condition. As a result to avoid engine damage the ECU will turn off the engine by stopping the fuel supply and closing the throttle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to re-programme the engine ECU.
FUEL COULD LEAK FROM THE RESIN FUEL RETURN PIPE ON THE INLET MANIFOLD.
It has been identified that the engine fuel return pipe can become damaged as the result of abrasion with it's fixation and harness.
Recalled vehicles will be checked for evidence of pipe damage which if none is evident protective covers will be installed. Should it be found that the pipes are damaged they will be replaced by pipes which are fitted with protective covers.
