REAR AXLE STUB AXLE CHECK
On affected vehicles the rear stub axle material is not compliant to hardness specification. There is a risk the stub axle could break while driving.
Check the stub axle for cracks and replace if necessary.
Airbag Sensors C0340
On affected vehicles airbag sensors and brackets were not fitted on production. The airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners will not be activated when needed.
Fit the missing components.
On affected vehicles the driver and passenger airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not deploy.
On affected vehicles the driver and passenger airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not deploy.
Replace the airbag collision sensors.�

RISK OF THE GAS GENERATOR CRACKING ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG
Risk of the gas generator cracking on the passenger airbag causing a leak meaning the airbag may not display fully in an event of an accident.
Replace the passenger airbag as a preventive measure.
THE HANDBRAKE MAY NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE
There is a risk the handbrake may not hold the vehicle in place due to a non-conformity of the rear brake calipers
Check the manufacturing markings on the Left and Right Rear Brake Calipers and if necessary replace them
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK FROM TANK
Possible Fuel leak from tank
Check the date of manufacture of the fuel tank and change it if necessary
POTENTIAL RISK OF FAILURE TO THE SECONDARY PARKING BRAKE
Possible failure of the parking brake due to a non-conformity (crimping) at cable connection ends.
Replace the secondary cables and connectors.
REAR BENCH SEATBELT BUCKLE BOLTS MAY NOT BE CORRECTLY TIGHTENED
Rear bench seatbelt buckle bolts may not be correctly tightened.
Check the buckle bolts are at the correct torque.
SEATBELT MAY BECOME STUCK DUE TO INCORRECT FITTING OF THE REEL HOUSING
Rear seatbelt may become stuck due to incorrect fitting of the reel housing.
Check the fitting of the seat belt inertia reel housings and adjust as required.
LED LIGHT FITMENT MAY AFFECT OTHER LAMPS
Lighting fault after LED fitment
Re-programme and re-configure the Energy Manangement Module
INCORRECT TYRE PRESSURE LABEL AND SPARE WHEEL FITTED
It has been identified that the incorrect tyre pressure label has been fitted. In addition if orderer the spare wheel may also be incorrect. It is therefore possible that the stability of the vehicle could be affected.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace both the tyre pressure label and the spare wheel with new quality assured items.
REAR AXLE MAY DETACH
The rear axle bolts may not have been correctly tightened which may generate a noise from inside the wheel arch or cause friction on the Tyre. If the concern is not addressed it is possible for the axle to become uncoupled from the body of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to ensure the bolts are at the correct torque. Where axle bolts are found to be missing the axle must be replaced.
STEERING MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED
The customer may experience vibrations or noise from the steering wheel due to cracks starting in the steering wheel hub. If not rectified in the worst case over time the steering wheel could break and affect the directional control of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check of the manufacturing date of the steering wheel hub. The steering wheel hub will be replaced it if the date is inside the identified period.
EGR PIPE MAY CRACK AND ALLOW EXHAUST GASES TO LEAK
It has been identified that during production the EGR pipe has been manufactured from incorrect thickness material. Due to the affect of stresses i.e. heat vibration etc on the pipe it can lead to cracking. If there is significant crack there is a possibility exhaust gases could leak. This could cause surrounding parts to deteriorate. If this happens the vehicle will emit black smoke from the exhaust there will be a loss of power and a warning light will illuminate on the instrument panel.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace to the EGR pipe.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
There is a risk the passenger airbag mounting bolts are incorrectly installed which can lead to the airbag not correctly deploying. If a heavy front end collision occurs the passenger could sustain additional injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for the presence of the bolts and if missing fit new one(s).
BONNET MAY OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
On a small number of vehicles one or more of the bonnet lock bolts may not be correctly tightened. In exceptional cases this may cause the bonnet to open whilst driving.
On affected vehicles check and where necessary tighten bonnet lock bolts.
ENGINE POWER AND/OR BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
On affected vehicles the drive to brake vacuum pump may fail. This may cause a loss of brake servo assistance and a hard brake pedal. It may also cause a reduction in engine power.
Check the manufacture date of the vacuum pump and where necessary replace the pump.
SEAT FRAME MAY FAIL
The integrity of the front seat bench frame for the passengers may be compromised because of non-compliance during the manufacturing processes. Customer may hear noises coming from underneath the bench. They may also notice some cracking on the seat frame angles. If the seat fails during a collision the passengers have an elevated risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the seat frame. Replace the seat where necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The parking brake cable may not have been assembled correctly which can result in either the inability to apply the parking brake or the inability to release the parking brake.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the parking brake cable.
STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED
The front axle wishbone mounting nuts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. The driver may experience noise from the front axle or find the steering becomes vague.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the torque tightening of the axle wishbone nuts or replace if required.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY LOOSEN
It is possible for the servo mounting bolts to loosen. If the noises are ignored over time it is possible for the brakes to be compromised.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the brake pedal/servo mounting nuts.
VEHICLE REAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that the rear lights may cease to function due to the wiring insulation being abraded on a roof lining angle bracket. If the rear lights cease to function there is an increased risk of collision as other road users are not warned of vehicle; position directional intent or braking intent. Warnings for the driver can be gained from acrid smell indicator tell-tale flashing faster than normal and other electrical items in the rear not working.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the wiring. In all cases protection for the wiring will be fitted.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
Risk that the primary handbrake cable end - piece crimping may not conform so the handbrake cable may become detached.
Check crimping at cable end. Replace cable if not within tolerance.
SUSPENSION TURRET MAY FAIL
The suspension turret panel may fail due to inadequate welding being applied at the factory.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to apply further weld to the nearside inner wing suspension turret.
