THE CALIBRATION OF THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE COULD RESULT IN EMISSIONS OF NOx WHICH DO NOT COMPLY WITH REGULATORY LIMITS
Engine management software issue could result in incorrect emission levels.
Update the engine management software.
DUE TO THE CALIBRATION OF THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE THE NOX EMISSIONS MAY NOT COMPLY WITH REGULATORY LIMITS
The calibration of the engine management software could result in emissions of NOx which do not comply with the regulatory limits.

A PLASTIC COMPONENT INSIDE THE EXHAUST LINE COULD UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS DAMAGE THE DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER
A plastic component inside the exhaust line could under certain conditions damage the Diesel particle filter.
Check and if necessary replace the particle filter.
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.
STARTER MOTOR MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
A possible nonconformity of an internal component of the starter motor relay could affect the control of the starter motor. This could adversely affect the starting operation and damage the starter motor due to overheating and in extreme cases there is a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace the starter motor relay.
GEARBOX ACTUATOR AY NOT BE TO SPECTIFICATION
A component in the gearbox actuator may not be to the correct specification which may affect gear selection.
On affected vehicles replace the gearbox actuator
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
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.
OIL LEAK MAY DAMAGE ENGINE
An oil leak could develop at the turbocharger lubrication union retaining bolt due to a non-conformity of this part.
On affected vehicles replace the turbocharger lubrication union bolt and its seals.
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.
HANDBRAKE MAY NOT APPLY FULLY
On affected vehciles the handbrake adjustment may not have been correctly set during manufacture. This may cause the handbrake to be ineffective unless applied to it's full extent.
On affected vehicles check handbrake setting and adjust if necessary.
VEHICLE CONTROL MAY BE LOST
Front subframes on affected vehicles may show signs of damage to the left hand mounting point caused during the manufacturing process. Over time this may affect durability and cause the mounting to fail. This can affect security of components attached to the subframe and may affect control of the vehicle.
Prior to failure the driver should notice excessive noise from this area. As a safety measure affected vehicles should be checked and where necessary the subframe replaced.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE COMPROMISED
The front suspension wishbone mounting bolts might not have been manufactured to the correct specification potentially causing a risk of these parts breaking. Broken mounting bolts can be noticed by the driver through noises and poor directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front suspension wishbone mounting bolts.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible that the connection torque settings for certain steering components on the wheel/strut assembly may not be to specification. The issue will be highlighted to the driver by an increase in the play in the steering but in extreme circumstances could lead to a loss of directional control.
Recall all affected vehicles check and if required retorque the steering components.
FUEL MAY LEAK AND CREATE FIRE RISK
It has been established that the high pressure fuel rail pipes on the engine have not been torqued to the correct specification. This can result in poor sealing of the rail which can cause as fuel leak onto the engine. If the vaporised fuel comes into contact with a hot engine component there can be a risk of an engine bay fire.
Recall all the affected vehicles and retorque the high pressure fuel rail pipes.
