DASHBOARD WIRING MY SHORT CIRCUIT
It has been identified that the dashboard wiring hs been mounted incorrectly. This may result in the vehicle failing to start the reversing lights failing to operate the risk of a short circuit of the FRH headlights damage to the wiring and high temperatures.
Recalled vehicles will have the dashboard wiring refitted and replaced as necessary.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY RESULT IN A FIRE
It has been identified that there is a risk of contact between the starter motor cable and the exhaust heat shielding. Should this occur and the cable insulation become damaged an electrical short circuit with the attendant risk of fire might ensue.
Affected vehicles will have the exhaust heat shielding re-shaped to prevent contact with the starter cable.

ABS SENSOR MOUNT & DRIVERS SEAT RUNNER MAY BECOME LOOSE
The rear ABS sensor mountings may come loose which may lead to the rear ABS not working.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the ABS sensor mounting fixing screws.
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER MAY NOT TRIGGER IN AN IMPACT
It has been identified that the front passenger seatbelt pretensioner has not been configured correctly. In the event of an impact the pretensioner will not trigger. The front seat passenger will however still be retained by the seatbelt but without the pretensioner function.
Recalled vehicles will have the front passenger seatbelt configured.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
It has been identified that a potential loss of engine cooling fan function (cooling fan number 2) will cause the engine to seize without warning due to overheating. The STOP warning light may or may not illuminate.
Recalled vehicles will have front-end wiring replaced.
STOP LIGHT FAILURE
Under particular circumstances of use the potential exists for the stop light switch to melt due to overheating of the grease in the circuit switches with the potential for coking of the contacts. This can result in failure of the stop lights and overheating at the pedal floor or smoke in the passenger compartment.
Recalled vehicles will have the stop light switch replaced.

This can result in failure of the stop lights and overheating at the pedal floor or smoke in the passenger compartment.
Recalled vehicles will have the stop light switch replaced.
RISK OF REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP WHEN DRIVING.
Water may be present in the rear brake actuators which in certain circumstances can cause the rear brakes to lock up when driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to drain any water from the rear brake actuators.
FIFTH WHEEL SUBFRAME MOUNTING BOLTS INCORRECTLY TIGHTENED
It has been identified that during production the fifth wheel sub-frame mounting bolts were not tightened to the correct torque.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts checked for the correct torque.
RISK OF REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP WHEN DRIVING.
Water may be present in the rear brake actuators which in certain circumstances can cause the rear brakes to lock up when driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to drain any water from the rear brake actuators.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to drain any water from the rear brake actuators.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that the potential exists for the generation of an oil leak caused by the turbo oil supply pipe becoming loose. Should an oil leak from this component occur the possibility exists that a fire could ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the turbo oil supply pipe checked and replaced as necessary.
FRONT SEATS MAY NOT LOCK INTO POSITION
There is a possibility that the seat back of the front seats may become difficult to adjust and or not lock into position.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check that all welding to the seat back frame is present. If the welds are not all present then the seat back frame will be replaced.

GEARBOX MAY MALFUNCTION
Possible malfunction of the gearbox control causing: 1. Gearbox switching to manual mode without driver intervention; 2. gearbox changing to 3rd gear without driver intervention; 3.incorrect display of lever position on the instrument panel; 4. Auto gearbox warning light illuminates.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the automatic transmission computer.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the automatic transmission computer.
BALL JOINT MAY DETACH FROM TIE ROD
The tie rod may separate from the ball joint which could result in loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit new tie rods.
BALL JOINT MAY DETACH FROM TIE ROD
The tie rod may separate from the ball joint which could result in loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit new tie rods.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
It is possible that the rear caliper handbrake lever to crack and weaken. In the worst case there is a possibility that the parking brake cables will release.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the caliper handbrake lever for evidence of a crack. Where a crack exists on the lever the caliper will be replaced.
RISK OF ENGINE WIRING LOOM SHORT CIRCUIT
It has been identified that the risk of a short circuit exists between individual wires of the engine wiring loom.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine wiring loom checked for condition and wear and will proceed as follows. If no wiring cores are visible a protective sheath will be fitted to the wiring loom. If the core of one or more of the wires is visible the wiring loom will be replaced.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the stop for the foot brake pedal collapse system is missing. This can result in the loss of braking efficiency when the brake pedal is at full travel.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for the presence of the brake pedal collapse system stop and where this is found to be missing the brake pedal will be replaced.
