ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
Incorrect dimensions of the battery earth cable may in the long term lead to its breakage. The loss of the electrical connection may lead to engine cutting out.
The battery earth cable is to be replaced.
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.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The battery earth return cable is not to the correct specification which during vehicle operation may cause it to fail. This could result in the engine cutting out.
Recall all affected vehicle and replace the battery earth return cable.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The battery earth return cable is not to the correct specification which during vehicle operation may cause it to fail. This could result in the engine cutting out.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the battery earth return cable.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The use of incorrect torque wrenches for tightening a terminal may have damaged internal components in the Engine Electrical Power Supply Management Unit (BSM). This could result in the engine cutting out.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the engine BSM unit.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The earth cable for the battery maybe too short this may resulting in it breaking. Should this occur the vehicle electrical circuit will fail which will cause the engine to cut out.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the battery earth cable.
PEDALS MAY BE OBSTRUCTED
It is possible that the air conditioning unit air diffuser ducting on the driver's side may detach which could obstruct access to the driver control pedals.
Recall all the affected vehicles for the fitment of an additional support part to the air conditioning unit outlet ducting.
OIL MAY LEAK
In rare cases on the concerned engines a possible manufacturing nonconformity of the cylinder head may lead to an oil leak.
Check and replace cylinder head.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The battery earth return cable maybe too short which during vehicle operation may cause it to fail at its gearbox mounting point. This could result in the engine cutting out.
Recall all affected vehicle and replace the battery earth return cable.
REAR DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM MAY OVERHEAT
It is possible that water entering the rear door could penetrate the electric window motor. This could cause failure of the motor a short circuit overheating and possibly a fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and fit a protective shield.
SPARE WHEEL MAY DETACH
The spare wheel winch may fail and not secure the wheel to the vehicle so allowing it to detach from the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the spare wheel winch.
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY FAIL.
It is possible that the wiring harness for the power assisted steering motor may come in contact with other components in the engine bay. Should this occur then it is possible that the power steering assistance on this large vehicle may become affected.
Recall affected vehicles and fit protection to the wiring harness.
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY FAIL.
It is possible that the wiring harness for the power assisted steering motor may come in contact with other components in the engine bay. Should this occur then it is possible that the power steering assistance on this large vehicle may become affected.
Recall affected vehicles and fit protection to the wiring harness.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It is possible for the engine to stall due to incorrect reading of oil levels during harsh and prolonged braking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to download new software to the engine ECU.
SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The left hand side front chassis may have a nonconformity which may lead to a risk of poor securing of the suspension arm.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the left hand side front chassis member.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
The rear brake hoses may contact the suspension coil springs. Should this contact occur it is possible over time and distance for the spring to abrade a hole in the hose and for the hose to leak fluid which will illuminate the brake warning lamp and could possibly lead to longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the positioning of the rear brake hoses and where necessary replace the brake hose/s.
FUEL MAY LEAK
On some 2.0 l HDI vehicles potential contact between the fuel return pipe and the diesel filter support may eventually cause the pipe to become worn through friction.
The manufacturer has requested that some protection be added to the pipe to ensure its long-term resistance to wear.

SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
On affected vehicles connectors intended to supply the electric front seats fitted to some versions are not used and are located under the rear footwell carpets. If these connectors come into contact with water of melted snow mixed with snow removal products they may corrode over a period of time and cause localised electrical overheating.
The operation involves repositioning these electrical supply wires for the two front seats to move them higher up on the seat frame.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Water entering the rear doors may enter the electric window motor causing the mechanism to malfunction. In the long-term the presence of water may cause a short circuit in the motor leading to localised heating of the door panel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit additional protection on the rear electric window motors.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
In very rare circumstances the vacuum pump one way valve may not function correctly which could affect the level of braking assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake vacuum pump one way valve.
