Showing 226–250 of 409 recalls.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SEATBELT BUCKLE MAY NOT HOLD SEATBELT TONGUE
Seat belt tongue may not hold in the buckle sufficiently. In a collision the tongue may separate from the buckle putting the occupant of the affected belt at risk.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the seatbelt buckle on the passenger side (x 75) and driver side (x6).
STEERING WHEEL MAY BECOME LOOSE
It has been identified that the steering wheel securing bolt may work loose. This can ultimately result in the securing bolt unscrewing and the steering wheel detaching. This would then result in loss of directional control. However the concern should be identified to the driver by the movement in the wheel before it becomes an issue.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and replace the steering wheel securing bolt.

BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
Brake pipes fitted to the ABS unit may not have been fitted to the correct port. During heavy braking conditions this may cause under braking. It is also possible that the ESP may malfunction/fail to work which may cause under/over steer.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to check brake pipes are fitted correctly to the ABS unit. Where necessary the brake pipes will be replaced.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The protectors for the front brake hoses may have been fitted incorrectly which could in the worst case scenario lead to a reduction in braking efficiency. If there is leakage of brake fluid the warning lamp will illuminate and more effort will have to be applied to the brakes to stop in good time. Additionally there is a possibility that brake fluid may leak from the rear brake cylinders with the same effects as above.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the front brake hoses and protectors. Where necessary reposition or replace the protectors and brake hoses. Replace the fixing dome caps that retain the rear brake shoes to the back plate.
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.
REAR SHELF MAY DETACH
It is possible that the rear body shelf fixing may not be secured to the vehicle sufficiently. This may lead to the detachment of the shelf and place other road users at risk.
Recall all affected vehicles and fit additional fixings.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The prop shaft to axle flange bolts may not be tightened to the correct torque. The condition could develop noise and vibration and if not corrected loss of drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either re torque the prop shaft to axle flange mounting bolts or where necessary replace the nuts and bolts and apply the correct torque.
BRAKING FUNCTION MAY BE COMPROMISED
It has been identified that due to a quality issue the T Valve within the brake systems may develop a leak. The compressor should be able to keep up with this leak and the driver should be made aware of the issue. However the brake system pressure will be reduced which will potently affect the brake efficiency of the vehicle.
Replace all affected vehicles and check the valve numbers. If found to be within the affected batch replace with a new quality assured valve.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The prop shaft to axle flange bolts may not be tightened to the correct torque. The condition could develop noise and vibration and if not corrected loss of drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either re torque the prop shaft to axle flange mounting bolts or where necessary replace the nuts and bolts and apply the correct torque.
FUEL PIPE PROTECTIVE COVER MAY DETACH & DAMAGE ENGINE
The fuel pipe protective cover may fail and damage the engine. In the worst case the engine could cease to function.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel pipe protective cover with a modified type.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL
As a result of certain front suspension mounting bolts being over tightened at the factory the front suspension could fail and loss of vehicle control could occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front struts and mounting bolts.
REAR SPOILER MAY BECOME DETACHED
The rear spoiler may detach at high speed due to high variance in temperature change aggressive car wash systems or use of racks as they may weaken the spoiler mouldings.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected for rebonding or reinforcement of the rear tailgate spoiler (depending on type of tailgate).
LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
Possibility that brake fluid may leak from the rear brake calipers. This could result in a loss of braking efficiency
Replace rear brake calipers if required.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
The injection computer requires reprogramming. If this is not carried out reduced braking assistance may be noticed
Preventive operation: 1. Reprogramme the injection computer; 2. Reconfigure the UPC computer.

SEATBELT MAY FAIL
There is a possible issue with the security of the lower seat belt mounting bolt which could cause it to loosen. If this were to occur then the bolt could ultimately fully unwind and detach. This could result in the occupant not being restrained by the seat belt in the event of a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the lower seat belt mounting bolts.
VALVE COTTER FAULT COULD LEAD TO DESTRUCTION OF THE ENGINE
Possibility that the nonconformance of the valve cotter could lead to the destruction of the engine.
Replace the cotters on relevant engines
REAR WHEEL BEARING MAY SHEAR
It is possible that the rear wheel bearing has been damaged whilst it was assembled onto the stub axle. This should be identified by excessive noise however in the worst case if not detected it could result in bearing failure and the detachment of the wheel and hub.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the wheel bearings with new items which will have protective sleeves to aid correct installation.
