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.
VEHICLE MAY NOT BE IN THE INTENDED GEAR
It has been identified that due to the formation of rust between the manual control shaft and the gear inhibitor switch the transmission may not move to the park position even though this may have been selected. As a result it may be impossible to start the vehicle additionally the vehicle may move unexpectedly whilst in park if the parking brake has not been applied.
Recalled vehicles will have the relevant components cleaned and fitted with a protective cover.
DRIVE SHAFT SECURING NUTS MAY LOOSEN
The front and rear propeller shafts and the right hand front drive shaft have been fitted with nuts of an incorrect specification. The concern could lead to vibration which if not attended to could lead to the detachment of a shaft and loss of drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the nuts and washers fitted to the front and rear propeller shafts and the right hand front drive shaft.
DRIVE MAY BE LOST
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a bolt welded to the gearshift lever may fracture. Should this occur the adjustment may loosen and the shift cable may move. This can result in a mismatch between the gear shift selector and the actual gear selected. In the worst case the bolt may break which can cause the control cable to become disconnected and drive to be lost.
Affected vehicles will have the transmission shift lever replaced with a quality assured item.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
When used regularly in severe off road conditions the ball joint of the pitman arm may break resulting in loss of steering control.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified pitman arm if this has not already been accomplished following a previous intervention.
FUEL MAY LEAK
A crack may occur in the fuel filter water sensor which can lead to a leakage of fuel.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel filter water sensor replaced.
BRAKE HOSE MAY FRACTURE
The front left brake pipe may foul the power steering hose which can damage the brake pipe which may fail leading to loss of brake fluid.
Recall affected vehicles check pipe for damage if OK apply new securing clip. If damaged replace pipe with modified version.
ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
Upper coolant hose may detach causing loss of coolant.
Recall affected vehicles and fit new coolant hose and clamps.
AIR INLET INTERCOOLER MOUNTS MAY CRACK
The mountings for the intercooler air inlet (bonnet air intake garnish) is inappropriate and heat from the engine may cause mount deformation resulting in increased stress on the mounts. This condition could cause the mounts to crack and in a worst case scenario the bonnet air intake garnish could fall off potentially creating a traffic obstruction.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new air intake garnish mountings.
REAR SEAT MAY FAIL DURING REAR IMPACT
In the event of a rear end accident it is possible that the reclining mechanism of the second row seat could fail which may result in personal injury if the seat was occupied at the time.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit improved reclining adjusters to the second row seats.
OIL MAY LEAK
The Oil Cooler hose may fracture causing an oil leak
Recall affected vehicles and check gap between towing hook and oil cooler hose. If less than 15mm install modified pipe. If more than 15mm check pipe for damage and if necessary replace.
TRACK ROD COULD BECOME DETACHED
The dust covers which protect the track rod end ball joints may not seal correctly and allow the ingress of water and dirt. As a result the ball joint can wear and cause excessive play in the steering. In extreme cases the track rod could become detached with the consequence that the directional control of the vehicle will be affected.
Recalled vehicles will have the track rod ends replaced with modified units.
EXHAUST PIPE COULD FAIL POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE NOISE
It has been identified that the original fitment exhaust pipe wall at the front of the main muffler is too thin additionally that the weld placement for the metal fitting supports is inappropriate. This may result in the exhaust pipe cracking due to vibration and if continually used in this condition the exhaust could fail resulting in excessive noise.
Recall affected vehicles and check whether the exhaust is original. If this is the case a new exhaust box will be fitted.
HANDBRAKE CABLE MAY BREAK
It is possible for the handbrake cable to kink. In extreme cases the cable may break.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the cable. If no kinking is evident fit a retaining clip that will prevent kinking. If kinking is evident replace the cable with a new cable which has the retaining clip pre-fitted.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE BONNET SAFETY HOOK IS DEFECTIVE
The possibility exists that the bonnet safety hook (secondary locking device) is defective. With the result that should the primary lock not be fully engaged the safety hook may also fail due to lift created by the airflow and in the worst case the bonnet may open whilst the vehicle is being driven.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the safety hook bracket will be checked for profile and adjusted if necessary.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY SUFFER DELAYED DEPLOYMENT
The front passenger side air bag may suffer delayed deployment which in the worst case scenario could result in passenger injury
Affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the airbag will be replaced with a unit which complies with the correct deployment assessment criteria.
POSSIBILITY THAT WATER COULD SEEP INTO THE LOWER BALL JOINTS
Possibility that water could seep into the lower ball joints of the front suspension due to insufficient sealing
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the free play in the front suspension lower ball joints will be checked. If the play is found to be within tolerance and the dust cover is free from damage the cover will be cleaned and a sealer applied. If on inspection the dust cover is damaged or the joint is exhibiting free play outside the tolerance the lower arm will be replaced.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY
It is possible that the parking brake ratchet pawl may not engage correctly. In the worst case the vehicle could run away.
Replace the parking brake lever assembly.
Engine rpm may increase unexpectedly
There is a possibility that due to improper operation when assembling the engine at production a crack occurred on the advance control lever of the cold start device on the injection pump.
During specific vehicle usage there is a possibility that the engine rpm could increase if the cold start lever broke.
CRACKS MAY OCCUR ON THE BRAKE HOSE
There is a possibility that due to improper fixing position of the front brake hose excessive stress may occur to the hose when continually operated on the steering system. In the worst case cracks may occur on the brake hose which may result in a leak and a reduction in brake force.
Recall affected vehicles to fit modified brake hoses and brackets
INABILITY TO CHANGE GEAR
Due to insecure fitment of the pin in the gear shift control set there is a possibility that the pin could could fall out making it impossible to change gear.
Check the tightness of the gear shift pin if loose fit a new gear shift set. If the pin is tight a secondary locking arrangement will be fitted as a precaution.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK
It is possible that due to improper welding of the levelling valve on the fuel tank fuel may leak from this area.
Fit a new improved fuel tank.
CAB GRAB HANDLE CONCERN
The cab front pillar grab handles may fracture
Replace both left and right front pillar grab handles.
POSSIBLE INCORRECT WIRING OF AIRBAG
There is a possibility that the right hand airbag sensor is programmed with the wrong sensing direction software. This might cause the right hand side airbag not to deploy in case of collision to the right hand side.
All recalled vehicles will have the right hand side impact sensor replaced with the latest version.
PARKING BRAKE CONCERN
Due to insufficient lubrication the parking brake cable might not fully return when released. This may cause the brake to bind.
Recall affected vehicles and replace parking brake cables with modified type.
