VEHICLE EXTERIOR LIGHTS MAY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING
The lighting management system may incorrectly detect the position of the exterior lighting control switch. This may cause the exterior light to switch off without warning.
Recall all affected vehicles and install a new version of the exterior lighting management software to the vehicle.
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.
BRAKE PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED.
Residual low pressure persists in the power braking vacuum circuit which may result in the loss of power assistance when braking
Recall affected vehicles to fit a calibrated air vent in the vacuum circuit.
BRAKE PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED.
Residual low pressure persists in the power braking vacuum circuit which may result in the loss of power assistance when braking
Recall affected vehicles to fit a calibrated air vent in the vacuum circuit.
BREAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
An internal component of the Brake Master Cylinder may not be in conformity and as such braking performance/efficiency may be affected.
Recall affected vehicles and replace Master Cylinder.
LIGHTS MAY SWITCH OFF UNEXPECTEDLY
In rare cases the lighting management system may incorrectly detect the lighting switch ring position which may cause the lights to cut out.
Recall affected vehicles and download new version of vehicle exterior lighting software.
LOSS OF WINDSCREEN WIPER FUNCTION
It has been identified that the potential exists that sub-standard front windscreen wiper mechanism were fitted during production. This can result when in use for one or more of the wiper arms to be immobilised in a random position. With the consequence of partial or total loss of the windscreen wiper function.
Recalled vehicles will have the windscreen wiper motors inspected and changed as necessary.

WHEEL STUDS MAY BECOME LOOSE
A possible substandard tapping of one or more of the wheel stud holes may result in a reduction of the wheel stud to hub torque setting.
Recall affected vehicles and replace hubs.
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.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the shield which protects the diesel fuel filter in the event of an impact may be incorrectly positioned. This can result in the possibility that the impact shield is in too close a proximity to the positive terminal of the alternator.
Recalled vehicles will have the position of the impact shield checked. Additionally the component will be fitted with an insulator.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a batch of high pressure fuel injection pumps supplied as spare parts may not have been manufactured to specification. As a result a fuel leak may occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject fuel injection pumps changed.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY NOT RETURN WHEN RELEASED
The throttle pedal may not return to its initial position as a result of a nonconformity to specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the pedal mechanism.
LIGHTING HARNESS COULD OVERHEAT RESULTING IN LOSS OF SOME VEHICLE FUNCTIONS
It has been identified that use of a non standard interior lighting harness may cause excessive current flow and possible overheating and damage to a control unit This can result in the loss of a number of vehicle functions.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject wiring harness modified.
FUEL PIPE MAY LEAK
It has been identified that on subject vehicles a fuel pipe may not be correctly sealed. Should this be the case seepage of fuel may occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject fuel pipe checked and replaced as necessary.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY FAIL
It has been identified that on subject vehicles the windscreen wiper mechanism has not been manufactured to specification. As a result in time the windscreen wipers could fail.
Recalled vehicles will have the windscreen wiper mechanism replaced.
VEHICLE HANDLING COULD BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that on subject vehicles certain front suspension components have not been correctly tightened. In time this can result in noise additionally affect vehicle handling.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject components tightened.
DIESEL FUEL RETURN PIPE MAY ABRADE AND WEAR.
It has been identified that a slight amount of play in the diesel fuel return pipe mountings on certain vehicles may over time lead to abrasion and wear of the pipe.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject clips checked and the pipe secured.
