STEERING MAY DETACH
It is possible the mountings for the steering mechanism to engine subframe may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If this is the case the issue will be highlighted to the driver by noise or play in the steering. If the driver fails to take action to rectify the issue the steering may detach causing a possible loss of control.
Recall affected vehicles to check the torque of the mountings and if necessay replace the steering mechanism.
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
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.
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.
