On the affected vehicles the operation of the brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt caused by the ageing of the engine oil.
On the affected vehicles the operation of the brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt caused by the ageing of the engine oil.
To rectify this issue a software update will be downloaded which will improve the vacuum diagnosis (in order to warn earlier about the risk of loss or reduction of braking assistance).
Some braking and suspension components may not have been tightened to the correct torque during assembly.
Some braking and suspension components may not have been tightened to the correct torque during assembly.
Check and tighten affected bolts to the correct torque.
COMPONENT FIXINGS COULD HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO INCORRECT TORQUE SETTINGS
Various component fixings which have not been tightened to the correct torque settings due to incorrect tightening operations during the assembly
Retighten the affected component fixings to assure the correct torque tightening
THE HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS FITTED MIGHT NOT BE TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION
The High Voltage Harness might not be to the correct specification.
Check the harness conformity and replace it if necessary
VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INCORRECT TIGHTENING TORQUE ON SEVERAL REAR AXLE COMPONENT FIXINGS
Vehicles may have an incorrect tightening torque on several rear axle component fixings.
Check and retighten all fixings to the correct torque settings.
THE OPEN CIRCUIT DETECTION SYSTEM COULD BE OVER SENSITIVE CAUSING A NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL ISSUES
A possibility that the open circuit detection system could be over-sensitivite causing a number of operational issues including sudden power loss.
Download the latest software configuration check some electronic units and replace them if necessary.
THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATERIAL DETACHING FROM THE TIMING BELT
The brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt.
Update detection software inspect and if necessary replace vacuum pump and timing belt.
THE STEERING GEOMETRY COULD BE INCORRECTLY SET
The steering geometry could be incorrectly set due to an incorrectly calibrated setting rig in the manufacturing plant.
Check the steering alignment and adjusting if set incorrectly. If the front tyres are worn these will also be replaced.
THE FIXING OF THE FRONT WING WHEEL ARCH TRIM DOES NOT CONFORM TO SPECIFICATION
The fixing of the front wing wheel arch trim does not conform to specification.
The repair consists of adding an additional fixing screw to the bottom of the front wheel arch trim.
THE FIXING OF THE FRONT WING WHEEL ARCH TRIM DOES NOT CONFORM TO SPECIFICATION
The fixing of the front wing wheel arch trim does not conform to specification.
The repair consists of adding an additional fixing screw to the bottom of the front wheel arch trim.
THE REAR LOWER SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING BOLT MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE SETTING
The rear lower shock absorber mounting bolt might not be tightened to the correct torque setting
The campaign requires the bolt to be loosened and re-torqued to the correct setting
THE ROUTING OF THE REAR BRAKE PIPES MAY NOT CONFORM TO SPECIFICATION
The routing of the rear brake pipes may not be correct and could cause them to fail.
Check and replace affected pipes if necessary
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.
Download new engine management software
THE STEERING COLUMN UNIVERSAL JOINT CLAMP MAY BE INCORRECTLY FITTED TO THE STEERING COLUMN
The universal clamp fixing bolt is not correctly fitted in the recess at the end of the steering column.
Check and if necessary refit the steering column universal joint fixing.
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.
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 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
SPOILER MAY DETACH
The bonding of the tailgate spoiler may not conform to specification. This could lead to a lack of adhesion and detachment of the spoiler
On affected vehicles replace the rear spoiler
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.
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.
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.
