Affected vehicles may experience HV Battery overheating that may lead to a HV Battery thermal runaway and in a worst case to a battery or vehicle fire..
Affected vehicles may experience HV Battery overheating that may lead to a HV Battery thermal runaway and in a worst case to a battery or vehicle fire.
The BMS (Battery Management System) will be reprogrammed with enhanced battery monitoring software.
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).

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). The timing belt will be checked and if needed replaced with other components of the braking assistance system and the vacuum pump.
A HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WHERE THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE VOLTAGE OF THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS
A high voltage battery where there is a mismatch in the voltage of the individual cells.
Replace the high voltage battery.
A HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WHERE THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE VOLTAGE OF THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS
A high voltage battery where there is a mismatch in the voltage of the individual cells.
Replace the HV traction battery
THE WELDING OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THE TOW BAR MIGHT NOT MEET THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION
The welding of the individual components of the towbar might not meet the correct specification.
Check the identity label and replace the tow bar if affected
THE WELDING OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THE TOWBAR MIGHT NOT MEET THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION
The welding of some components to the towbar assembly may not meet specification.
The replacement of the towbar.
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 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.
ON SOME TRACTION BATTERY CELLS THE ALIGNMENT OF THE ELECTRODES MAY BE OUT OF SPECIFICATION
On affected vehicles the alignment of the electrodes may be out of specification on some cells of the traction batteries which may result in the release of toxic fumes or a thermal runaway.
Replace the traction / drive battery.
THE FILTERING PERFORMANCE OF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
The filtering performance of the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) may not meet the required specification.
Replace the DPF on affected vehicles.
THE UREA INJECTOR MAY BLOCK AND LEAD TO NOx EMISSIONS GOING OUT OF REGULATORY LIMITS
The vehicles may be affected by a defect in the urea injector which might block and lead to NOx emissions going out of the regulatory limits.
Updating the ECU software to avoid the gradual blocking of the urea injector
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE INTERNAL CORROSION PROTECTION OF THE SUBFRAME IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH.
There is a possibility that the internal corrosion protection of the front subframe is not durable enough.
Replacing the front subframe assembly.
CERTAIN REAR SUSPENSION FIXING BOLTS MAY NOT CONFORM TO SPECIFICATION
Certain rear suspension fixing bolts may not conform to specification which could cause them to break.
Replace the affected bolts
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
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 oil gallery sealing plug incorrectly tightened
On the affected vehicles the tightening of a sealing plug on the engine oil gallery may not be correct to specification.This could lead over time to an oil leak which in rare cases could result in oil leaking on to the road.
The remedy consists of tightening the engine oil gallery sealing plug to the correct torque
Engine could overheat leading to failure
Engine could overheat leading to failure in extreme cases

TIGHTENING TORQUE OF TOWBAR FIXING MAY BE TO WRONG SPECIFICATION
Tightening of some towbar fixings may not be to correct specification.
Checking and if necessary correcting the tightening torque of the fixings.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
