ENGINE MAY STALL
There is a possibility that the air conditioning compressor may seize which could result in an unexpected engine stall.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the a/c compressor and the drive belt and idler roller.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a needle bearing has been omitted from the steering shaft. Additionally the cover screw may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in the cover screw becoming loose initiating free play and noise within the steering system. Ultimately steering control may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering gear inspected. The steering gear will be replaced should this be found to be necessary.
HAZARD LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE ON ATTACHED TRAILERS
It has been identified that if the vehicle's ignition switch is off and the hazard lights are on they will not illuminate on any trailer attached to the vehicle.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a sub-harness.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a needle bearing has been omitted from the steering shaft. Additionally the cover screw may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in the cover screw becoming loose initiating free play and noise within the steering system. Ultimately steering control may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering gear inspected. The steering gear will be replaced should this be found to be necessary.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING
There is a possibility that a steering cover screw may not be sufficiently tight. This could lead to initially free play and noise in the steering which if not attended to eventually could result in the loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the steering gear.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The engine may stall as a result of the crank shaft position sensor wiring harness being incorrectly routed and possibly coming into contact with the blades of the cooling fan.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the wiring harness and re-route or replace the wiring harness as necessary.
WHEEL BEARING COULD FAIL
There is a possibility that a rear wheel bearing may have been overtightened at the factory. If ignored this condition could result in reduced bearing life and ultimately the bearings could fail.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear wheel bearings.
SEAT ANCHORAGE MAY NOT BE SECURE
A concern has been detected in relation to the passenger seat cushion anchorage of some F24 Cabstar vehicles. If ignored the condition could result in a potential for the seat occupant to not be fully restrained in the case of a vehicle collision.
Recalled vehicles will have the (potentially) missing seat retaining bolt fitted.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
It has been identified that the front suspension lower ball joints on some of the subject vehicles have not been fully seated into the hub. This has resulted in the securing bolt not fitting into the groove in the ball joint shank. If the situation goes uncorrected the ball joint could detach which could result in loss of vehicle control.
Recalled vehicles will be checked for correct location of the ball joint and rectified as necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the parking brake levers situated on the rear disc calipers may have a fissure. This carries the potential risk that loss of parking brake function may occur due to the levers breaking.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected and affected parts replaced as necessary.
REAR SEAT ISOFIX BRACKETS MAY NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED IN A SIDE IMPACT
A concern has been identified with the rear seat ISOFIX brackets of some E11 Note vehicles. In that the brackets may have been manufactured incorrectly with the potential that the brackets may not perform to the design intent in the case of a side impact. In addition the brackets may not conform to the required EC legislation.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject seat brackets replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK
There is a possibility that the fuel tank filler tube may rust around the mounting bracket. This may create a small hole through progression of rust and fuel may leak during the refuelling process.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel filler tube replaced.
REAR SEAT BELT WEBBING MAY BE DAMAGED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT
There is a possibility that during a frontal impact and under specific circumstances the rear seat belt webbing may be damaged. This could increase the risk of injury to an occupant during an impact.
Recalled vehicles will have a protector fitted to the affected seat belt area.
REAR SEAT BELT WEBBING MAY BE DAMAGED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT
There is a possibility that during a frontal impact and under specific circumstances the rear seat belt webbing may be damaged. This could increase the risk of injury to an occupant during an impact.
Recalled vehicles will have a protector fitted to the affected seat belt area.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO FUEL TANK
In the event of a front tyre travelling over a sharp object the object could be propelled towards the rear of the vehicle and possibly damage the front edge of the fuel tank.
Recalled vehicles will have a protective shield fitted to the fuel tank vulnerable area.

Recalled vehicles will have a protective shield fitted to the fuel tank vulnerable area.
REAR WHEEL BEARING MAY FAIL
A concern has been identified relating to the incorrect assembly of the rear axle. This may result in excessive wear of the wheel bearings which will lead to noise occurring from the rear axle. If this is not rectified the bearing may ultimately fail resulting in the assembly becoming detached from the axle.
Recalled vehicles will be checked and fitted with new halfshafts as required.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
A concern has been identified relating to the fitment of the steering shaft lower joint. Should the joint become detached steering control will be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject joint inspected and the clamp bolt will be renewed if required.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
A concern has been identified relating to the fitment of the steering shaft lower joint. Should the joint become detached steering control will be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject joint inspected and the clamp bolt will be renewed if required.
PROPSHAFT MAY DETACH FROM VEHICLE
Insufficient torque may have been applied to the propshaft securing bolts during production and this could lead to vibration. If the concern is not rectified the propshaft may detach from the vehicle.
Affected vehicles will be recalled and inspected if necessary the propshaft securing bolts will be replaced.

Affected vehicles will be recalled and inspected if necessary the propshaft securing bolts will be replaced.
ENGINE HOOD MAY BECOME INSECURE
A potential welding concern with the lock support of the engine hood has been identified which if ignored could result in the hood not being secured when closed.
Recalled vehicles will have the hood replaced with a quality assured part.

A potential welding concern with the lock support of the engine hood has been identified which if ignored could result in the hood not being secured when closed.
Recalled vehicles will have the hood replaced with a quality assured part.
DOOR MAY OPEN DURING DRIVING
The door locks may not latch correctly with the result that a door may open whilst the vehicle is being driven.
Recalled vehicles will have the right hand door locks replaced with quality assured items.
EXCESSIVE WEAR OF VACUUM PUMP DRIVE GEAR
A concern has been identified with the vacuum pump drive gear which could wear excessively due to insufficient surface hardness. If the condition is ignored gear wear could cause the pump to cease operating which results in the loss of brake assistance.
Subject vehicles will be recalled at which time the vacuum pump drive gear will be replaced.
