FUEL MAY LEAK
The engine fuel return pipe is made of material which may adversely react with chemicals paint etc. These may cause the pipe to swell become loose and leak fuel.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel return pipes from the injectors.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED
The Internal Combustion Engine may not operate correctly. DTC�s will be generated the engine-warning lamp will illuminate and the combination meter will display a message. In the worst case the internal combustion engine will fail to start and charge the main traction battery. If the warnings are ignored the main traction battery will become depleted and the vehicle will lose all drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and apply countermeasure software to the ECU and replace the spark plugs with ones of approved specification.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL BACKWARDS
When trying to drive off uphill from a standstill the vehicle may roll backwards. This is because of a software problem in the CMU.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download countermeasure software to the CMU.
AIRBAG MAY RELEASE SHRAPNEL IF DEPLOYED
Certain driver side airbags the inflator might release shrapnel from the inflator container during deployment which could injure the driver.
On affected vehicles replace air bag inflator.
INDICATORS AND/OR OTHER VEHICLE LIGHTS MAY SWITCH OFF OR BLINK WITHOUT WARNING
Due to poor connectivity the indicators and/or vehicle lights may turn off or blink
On affected vehicles apply lubricant to switch connections

Due to poor connectivity the indicators and/or vehicle lights may turn off or blink
On affected vehicles apply lubricant to switch connections
FUEL MAY LEAK
The right hand side parking brake cable may interfere with the fuel tank. As a result there is possibility of peeling off the coating on the fuel tank. In the worst case the fuel tank can corrode and leak. Leaking fuel is a risk to other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right hand side parking brake cable with a new one. In addition the fuel tank will be checked and if necessary replaced.
AIRBAG MAY RELEASE SHRAPNEL IF DEPLOYED
Certain passenger side airbags the inflator might release shrapnel from the inflator container during deployment which could injure the passenger.
On affected vehicles replace air bag modules

Certain passenger side airbags the inflator might release shrapnel from the inflator container during deployment which could injure the passenger.
On affected vehicles replace air bag modules
FUEL MAY LEAK
There is a possibility that a connection of the fuel pipe to the fuel hose has been improperly mounted in production
On affected vehicles inspect the installation of the fuel hose connector and if found to be improper remove and reconnect correctly
LOSS OF CONTROL
Affected vehicles may have a tyre which may allow a sudden loss of pressure due to a fault in the manufacturing process.
On affected vehicles check tyre details and replace if necessary.
ECU MALFUNCTION MAY CAUSE SYSTEMS TO BECOME INOPERABLE
During operation the headlights and or the windscreen wipers amongst other systems may become inoperable as a result a none conformity in the Electronic Time & Alarm System (ETACS) ECU.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the production date of the ETACS ECU. The ETACS ECU will be replaced if it is within the affected production dates.
ECU MALFUNCTION MAY CAUSE SYSTEMS TO BECOME INOPERABLE
During operation the headlights and or the windscreen wipers amongst other systems may become inoperable as a result a none conformity in the Electronic Time & Alarm System (ETACS) ECU.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the production date of the ETACS ECU. The ETACS ECU will be replaced if it is within the affected production dates.
EPS SYSTEM MAY MALFUNCTION
A connector pin for the electronic power steering may not be to specification. This will lead to increased resistance in the circuit causing the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) to stop working. The steering will still function in manual mode requiring increased input from the driver. The EPS warning lamp may illuminate temporarily.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the EPS Gear and Link assembly.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the motor control unit (MCU) which controls the electric motor may decrease. As a result the voltage in the circuit may become unstable causing the warning light to illuminate and the driving motor power to be restricted to the fail safe control. In the worst case scenario the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the battery may not be able to be charged.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine MCU.
ENGINE MAY STOP WITHOUT WARNING
Retaining bolts for the timing chain tensioners and cam shaft drive may not have been tightened to the correct specifications. This may cause the timing chain to slacken and with continued use engine damage.
On affected vehicles replace timing chain tensioners. Check tensioner guide and camshaft drive retaining screws and if necessary tighten to correct specifications.
DUMP BODY MAY LIFT OR LOWER INADVERTENTLY
Loose components within the dumper body operating unit may cause the dumper body to rise or fall unintentionally.
Replace housing on operating unit and where required replace wiring harness.
FUEL MAY LEAK
On affected vehicles the flange of the fuel pump located in the top of the fuel tank may deteriorate and crack. This may allow fuel to leak.
Inspect pump. If flange is cracked replace pump and fit new protective cover. If flange is not cracked fit new protective cover only.
ENGINE MAY STALL
Due to a high carbon build up the check ball seat of the timing chain tensioner can show premature wear. It is possible that the check ball may stick to the seat preventing the tensioner from functioning properly. This in turn will result in an un-tensioned timing chain which causes a rattling noise and in the worst cases the chain will break.
Replace tensioner on all affected vehicles. Depending on outcome of further inspections the timing chain may also need to be replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
Due to a fault in the engine ECU software it is possible that the 4M41 engines in the Shogun will not learn the variations or age deterioration in injectors and be able to adjust the amount of fuel being injection accordingly. This inability to learn these values correctly can result in the engine emits an excessive amount of soot to the DPF which can block it. This can result in the engine stalling and not being able to restart.
Recall all affected vehicles and reprogramme engine ECU software.
REVERSE GEAR MAY NOT FUNCTION
On affected vehicles a component within the transmission valve block may be defective. If the component fails the gear box may not select gears correctly. In the worst case scenario the driver may not be able to select reverse gear.
On affected vehicles inspect the gearbox valve block. Depending on inspection outcome replace valve body installation kit or valve body assembly.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
Due to the use of inappropriate material for the drive belt on the 4B1 Petrol engine the nylon idler pulley(s) may wear at an angle. If this continues under this condition the drive belt will be forced off the pulleys. This can lead to battery depletion Overheating and on vehicles with hydraulic power steering the steering effort will increase.
Replace drive belt. Check and if necessary replace idler pulley(s)
