ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
The engine electronic cooling management control strategy and the maximum temperature alert threshold could cause the engine to overheat. This could result in a warning light and a message being displayed on the instrument panel.
On affected vehicles download a new engine management software in order to modify the cooling management parameters to improve the control of the engine operating temperature.

FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel tank shield may foul the fuel supply pipes. Over a period of time this may cause a fuel leak.
On affected vehicles check condition of fuel pipes and replace where necessary. In addition add extra protection to existing and replacement pipes.
FRAME MAY CRACK
Cracks may appear on the side tubes between the engine mounting point and the lower cradle which could cause the frame to fail.
On affected machines inspect the frame for signs of damage. Fit t reinforcement plates and where cracks are found replace the frame. For other damage in the designated area the manufacturer should be contacted for further advice.
ENGINE COMPONENT MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
An engine component may not be to specification which could result in loss of engine performance. This may lead to the engine stalling and potentially causing an engine failure. In very unlikely circumstances the vehicle speed may increase without warning but will stop on its own after a few seconds.
On affected vehicles carry out a functional diagnostic check of the engine. If necessary replace the engine.

FUEL MAY LEAK
Possible fouling between fuel lines and the fuel tank shield may over time cause the pipes to wear and fail. Over an extended period of time fuel leakage may be noticed under the vehicle.
On the affected vehicles check condition of the fuel lines. Replace where necessary and add extra protection.

A NON-CONFORMITY IN AN INTERNAL COMPONENT COULD AFFECT DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
An internal component of the passenger's airbag triggering module may not conform to specification. This could affect the triggering of the device in the event of an impact.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger's air bag assembly
SUSPENSION AND STEERING FIXINGS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE
Due to a deviation in the production process certain suspension and steering fixings may not have been tightened to the correct torque.
On affected vehicles check fixings as indicated by the manufacturer. Replace any damaged fixings and tighten all relevant fixings to correct torque.
STARTER MOTOR SUPPLY WIRING HARNESS MAY BECOME DAMAGED
The positioning of the starter supply terminal may be incorrect. This may allow it to foul other components and cause a short circuit.
On affected vehicles check the positioning of the terminaL. Correct it if necessary and add additional protection.

STARTER RELAY MAY OVERHEAT
Possible non-compliance of an internal component of the starter control relay could cause damage by overheating. This could cause unintended operation of the starter motor and in extreme instances; there is a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles check and if necessary replace the relay
