However it not rectified there is a risk that the wheels may become damaged over time or the wheel could in extreme cases could detach from the vehicle whilst driving. This could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the tightness of the road wheel bolts and rectify as necessary. In certain cases the replacement of the bolt(s) and wheel(s) may be necessary.
MALFUNCTIONS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
It has been identified that some ground connections of the cabin wiring harness and the fixings of the airbag control unit may not be to specification. This issue or non-compliance could cause erratic malfunctions of certain electrical equipment even in very rare cases causing the engine to cut-off or airbags malfunction.
Recall all affected vehicles to check tightness of the ground connections and airbag control unit fixings. If required these will need rectification.
UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
On the affected vehicles a possible nonconformity of certain seals on the vehicle�s body could lead to water ingress in the passenger compartment. This may affect the operation of the passenger air bag. Unintended deployment is possible.
On affected vehicles add extra sealant and replace wet or water damaged components.
UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
It has been identified that due to a possible non-conformity of certain seals on the vehicle�s body there is the possibility that water can enter the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The occupants should experience either wet carpets and or a possible damp smell. However the ingress of water into the cabin could affect the electrical operation of the airbag module which could lead to an unexpected deployment of the airbag.

REDUCTION IN BRAKING EFFORT DUE TO AIR IN THE SERVO
The tightening torque of one of the nuts of the connection between the brake servo unit and the brake pedal may be not correct to specification. This may allow air to enter the servo
Check servo security and where necessary replace the brake servo unit
WHEEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the wheel bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. The driver may experience a vibration through the steering wheel. However it not rectified there is a risk that the wheels may become damaged over time or the wheel could in extreme cases could detach from the vehicle whilst driving. This could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the tightness of the road wheel bolts and rectify as necessary. In certain cases the replacement of the bolt(s) and wheel(s) may be necessary.
REDUCTION IN BRAKING EFFORT DUE TO AIR IN THE SERVO
The bolts retaining the front shock absorber could come loose. This may adversely affect the steering control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the front shock absorber retaining bolts.
TYRES MAY DEFLATE UNEXPECTEDLY
A possible non-conformity in the fitting of the tyre valves as well as an incorrect tightening torque of the valve securing nut could cause a valve to fail and a rapid loss of pressure in the tyres. The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp would illuminate to warn the driver.
On affected vehicles replace the tyre valves using a fitting jig.
LOSS OF CONTROL
In the event of emergency braking or during an ESP regulation phase (e.g. avoiding manoeuvre) the hydraulic block may not prevent the locking of a wheel which could affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the braking system hydraulic block
LOSS OF CONTROL
In the event of emergency braking or during an ESP regulation phase (e.g. avoiding manoeuvre) the hydraulic block may not prevent the locking of a wheel which could affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the braking system hydraulic block
BONNET MAY OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
The bonnet may not close correctly over time because a possible non-conformity with the fixing of the bonnet catch. The driver may notice in certain cases difficulty in opening or closing the bonnet easily or vibrations or slight movement of the bonnet when driving. The risk is incorrect closing of the bonnet which could lead without any warning to unwanted opening when driving.
Recall the the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the front bumper support. Where necessary the front bumper support will be replaced.
GLASS PANEL MAY DETACH WITHOUT WARNING
The bonding of the tailgate components may not be to specification this could affect the retention of bonded parts over time. The owner could notice the individual components becoming loose or detached from the tailgate such as brackets bonded trim panels etc� If left unnoticed bonded items could become detached from the tailgate.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the complete tailgate assembly.
AIRBAG MAY INCORRECTLY DEPLOY
On affected vehicles the driver's air bag inflation device may not conform to specification. As a result may not deploy correctly during an impact.
Replace the driver's air bag module on affected vehicles

Replace the driver's air bag module on affected vehicles
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel injectors supply rail could develop a leak over a period of time leading to a drop in fuel pressure which can affect the operation of the stop start system. In some extreme cases the engine might not restart and a spray of petrol under the bonnet may occur which is a fire risk.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fuel injector supply rail. Where necessary replace the fuel injector supply rail.

STEERING COLUMN MAY FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY
A component of the steering column may not be to specification and could fail. If this occurs there would be a loss of directional control.
The manufacturer will contact keepers of affected vehicles and advise not to use the vehicle. Examine vehicles and on those with the affected component replace the steering column.
BATTERY MAY DISCHARGE AND/OR HEATED SEATS MAY OVERHEAT
On the affected vehicles the electrical harnesses connecting the heated seats may under certain conditions and over time cause the heated seats to either not work or to operate permanently. This may cause the battery to discharge and can be uncomfortable/distracting to the driver.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the two affected harnesses. If necessary the harnesses will be modified.
ENGINE MAY NOT START
Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the Engine Control Unit (ECU) 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 ECU.
