AIRBAGS MAY NOT BE TRIGGERED IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
On the affected vehicles an internal component within the airbag triggering ECU may have been damaged which could lead to non deployment. There are no early warning signs or symptoms for the customer to indicate if the ECU is incorrect.
The manufacturer has no simple method to check the internal component. Therefore all ECU's in affected vehicles to be changed as a precaution.
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.

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
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.
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
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.
SEAT BELT FIXING BOLTS MAY LOOSEN
The fixing bolts of the front LH and RH seat belt return rail may loosen and in cases of extreme force break.
The bolts on the left and right- hand sides will be replaced.
ROOF FLAP MAY DETACH
The roof panel rear flap hinge may have a defect which will eventually allow the roof panel to detach.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either reinforce the retention of the hinges or changing the roof panel rear flap.
AIRBAG MAY OPERATE INCORRECTLY
The passenger airbag wiring harness connector may not be to specification which can cause the illumination of the warning light on the dash or if involved in a impact the incorrect deployment of the airbag.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the passenger airbag wiring harness.
TAILGATE MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the mounting ball on both tailgate support struts may rotate when the tailgate is opened or closed. Should one of the support struts dislocate the tailgate may not remain in the open position.
Recalled vehicles will have the mounting ball joints on the tailgate support struts replaced.
SPARE WHEEL CARRIER HEAT SHIELD COULD BECOME DETACHED
The heat shield protecting the spare wheel and carrier may detach because of the vibrations it is subjected to.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the heat shield or where necessary replace the spare wheel carrier which incorporates the heat shield.
LH SEAT MAY BECOME DETACHED IN A COLLISION
The left hand rear seat may not be fully secure because the right hand seat fixing may have been welded incorrectly. If the weld is incorrect the seat may detach during an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary repair the seat fixing.
FUSE BOX MAY CAUSE EQUIPMENT OPERATIONAL FAILURES
It has been identified that the main engine fuse box is not to the correct specification. This can result in operating faults or the failure of certain equipment.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject fuse box replaced.
FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING MAY BREAK
In countries where salt is used extensively on the roads the paint sub layer on certain springs produced over a specific manufacturing period shows very little resistance to corrosion. This can in exceptional circumstances cause a front suspension spring to break with the attendant risk that the spring could contact the tyre.
To prevent an occurrence of this type likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time a suspension cup will be fitted on each front side of the vehicle to prevent a failed spring from making contact with the tyre.
AIRBAG ECU IS NOT TO SPECIFICATION
The airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is incorrect to specification this reduces the number of impact configurations taken into consideration when activating the airbags. So an airbag may not deploy in as many advantageous situations.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag ECU.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO TYRE DURING FITTING
Internal tyre tread may have been damaged during fitting which could lead to a loss of pressure.
Recall affected vehicles and replace all five tyres.
FRONT SUSPENSION MAY COLLAPSE
There is a possibility that the front stub axle on one or both sides of the vehicle may have been incorrectly machined. This could result in excessive wear the lower ball joint becoming displaced and the collapse of the suspension.
Recall affected vehicles and check and if necessary replace both front stub axles.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS
The main underbonnet harness may become damaged through chafing on the scuttle panel. This could result in stalling and loss of electrical functions.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for the fitment of a protective sleeve to the main wiring harness to prevent chaffing.
