DRIVER'S SEATBELT MAY FAIL
The tightening torque of the right hand seat belt lower mountings may not be to the correct specification and the seat belt could detach.
On affected vehickles check and if necessary tighten to correct specification.
FUEL MAY LEAK IF VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER INCIDENT
On the affected vehicles the non-return valve located inside the fuel tank may not conform to specification. If the vehicle was to roll over there is a risk of a fuel leak.
On affected vehicles checking the condition of the valve and replace the tank if necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK IF VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER INCIDENT
On the affected vehicles the non-return valve located inside the fuel tank may not conform to specification. If the vehicle was to roll over there is a risk of a fuel leak.
On affected vehicles checking the condition of the valve and replace the tank if necessary.
INSTRUMENT DISPLAY MAY TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY
The electrical switch of the steering lock may not conform to specification. This could cause the intermittent unwanted switching off of information displays on the instrument panel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the ignition switch.
DOORS MAY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY
A manufacturing defect of a component within any of the four door locks could result in jamming of the internal mechanism which prevents the closing of any of the vehicle's doors or risk unexpected unlocking and opening of the doors.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the affected door locks.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel heating device integrated in to the diesel fuel filter cover may be defective and allow heat to build up within the electrical supply connector causing the cover to distort and air to enter the fuel circuit. This could make the vehicles difficult to start and a warning light will be illuminated on the dash board. The engine could be difficult or not possible to start. In the worst cases a diesel fuel leak could eventually appear.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel heater cover. Additionally the electrical connector will be inspected and where necessary replaced.

LOSS OF POWER
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.
MALFUNCTION CAUSING INSTRUMENT PANEL FUNCTIONS TO BECOME INOPERABLE
An electronic component within the Built-in Systems Interface (BSI) may not be to the correct specification. This could cause the audio-navigation system the wipers and exterior lighting to malfunction and the warning light on the instrument panel may illuminate.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the production date of the BSI unit. Where the production date of the BSI unit is in the affected range the unit will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
The fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones may not be to the correct specification. This could lead to the bolts failing and the security of the wishbones being compromised. If this occurs there is a possibility that the directional control of the vehicle could be adversely affected.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected and replace all the fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible that the front subframe and suspension wishbones mounting bolts may not have been torqued to the correct specification. This could result in the mounting bolt working loose and falling from the vehicle plus the possibility of the insecurity of the subframe or the front suspension wishbone. This can cause an issue with the handling or even loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and retorque the front subframe and suspension wishbone mounting bolts.
ENGINE MAY STALL
An internal component of the injector may not be to specification which could reduce the fuel pressure in the injection system. The concern can prevent the engine starting and/or cause the engine to stall.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the identification number of the engine injectors. Where necessary replace the injectors.
