Showing 326–350 of 409 recalls.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
The parking brake control levers on the rear calipers may not be to specification
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the parking brake control levers on the rear calipers. Where the levers are not to specification replace the calipers.
PREMATURE WEAR OF STEERING BALL JOINTS.
It has been identified that due to a heat treatment problem premature wear of the steering linkage ball joints may take place.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject components replaced with quality certified parts.
GEARBOX MAY DISENGAGE FROM THE PARK POSITION
Due to the possible non-conformity of the gearbox control there is a risk that the transmission may disengage from the parking position (without the footbrake having first been applied)
Recalled vehicles will have the conformity of the gearbox control checked and replaced as necessary.
RISK OF FIRE IN CAB
The possibility exists that due to an electrical overload within the ECU of the night heater there is a risk of a fire within the cab.
Recalled vehicles will have a supplementary fused wiring harness fitted.
POSSIBILITY THAT WHEEL NUTS COULD BECOME LOOSE
Due to a manufacturing error an excess of paint has been applied to the wheel mounting faces. In consequence the possibility exists that there may be a loss of wheel fixing torque.
Recalled vehicles will have any excess paint removed from the mating and locating surfaces of the wheels.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MAY BECOME LOOSE ON THE COLUMN SPLINES
It is possible that the steering wheel may become loose on the steering column mounting splines which could eventually damage the splines.
Recall affected vehicles replace the steering wheel and mounting bolt with quality assured items.
PREHEATER MAY CATCH FIRE
It has been identified on a pre series vehicle that the fuel pre-heater may over heat with the result that a fire might ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the pre-heater circuit connected and a heat insulator fitted.
HEATER COULD CATCH FIRE
There is a possiblility that a voltage surge may overload the independent cab heater electronic control which could damage the circuit card which could lead to a fire.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the fuse with one of a lower rating.
STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
A risk exists that the steering column intermediate shaft has been incorrectly fitted.
Recalled vehicles will have the position of the mounting yolk of the intermediate shaft checked and modified as necessary.
POTENTIAL OF AN ODOUR AND SMOKE EMISSION FROM THE DASHBOARD
Potential of an odour and smoke emission from the dashboard
Affected vehicles will have a resistor removed from the wiring circuit
FLEXIBLE FRONT BRAKE LINES MAY BE LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO THE FRONT BRAKE DISKS.
In certain cases the front brake flexible hoses may be located too close to the front discs and become worn through contact with them. This poses the risk of a deterioration of brake performance.
Recalled vehicles will have the front brake flexible hose retaining brackets replaced.
ACTUAL ENGINE SPEED CAN DIFFER FROM SPEED REQUESTED BY THE DRIVER
In certain cases the risk exists that there may be a faulty contact between the accelerator pedal sensor and the injection computer. In such cases the SERV warning light will illuminate on the dashboard.The situation remains under control by simply by applying the brake pedal.
Recalled vehicles will undergo preventive reprogramming of the injection computer

POSSIBILITY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MAY BECOME LOOSE ON THE COLUMN SPLINES
It is possible that the steering wheel may become loose on the steering column mounting splines which could eventually damage the splines.
Recall affected vehicles replace the steering wheel and mounting bolt with quality assured items.
STEERING WHEEL MOUNTING MAY NOT CONFORM
It has been established that in certain cases the tightness of the steering wheel mounting may not be to specification.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time as a preventative measure the steering wheel will be replaced and it's mounting strengthened.
POSSIBLE RUPTURE OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL DELIVERY PIPES
There is a possibility that due to a manufacturing defect the high pressure fuel delivery pipes may rupture and leak fuel
Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel pipes with quality assured type
POTENTIAL EMISSION OF SMOKE FROM DASHBOARD VENT INTO THE CABIN
Potential smell and emission of smoke from the dashboard vents
Recall affected vehicles for reprogramming and configuration of the air conditioning software
POSSIBILITY OF EMISSION FROM THE DASHBOARD VENTS INTO THE CABIN
Potential smell and emission of smoke from the dashboard vents
Recall affected vehicles for reprogramming and configuration of the air conditioning software
POSSIBILITY THAT THE BELT MAY NOT LOCK WHEN REQUIRED
There is a possibility that the seat belt may not lock when required
Recall affected vehicles to check and replace if necessary the lap safety belt reel on the dual passenger seat
POSSIBLE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
The engine may intermittently accelerate by itself and/or suffer instability of the idle speed.
Reprogramme the fuel injection computer software.
POSSIBLE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
The engine may intermittently accelerate by itself and/or suffer instability of the idle speed.
Reprogramme the fuel injection computer software.
POSSIBLE BREAKAGE OF FRONT SUSPENSION ARM.
Due to a manufacturing defect there is a potential risk of the front right or left suspension arm breaking if subjected to an impact.
Check the manufacturing markings on the suspension arms and replace where found necessary.
POTENTIAL LACK OF HANDBRAKE EFFICIENCY
It is possible that the handbrake may not be fully effective when the vehicle is parked.
Reprogramme the parking brake computer software.
BRAKE SERVO MAY FAIL
Brake servo may fail resulting in a hard brake pedal due to the loss of power assistance.
Replace the brake servo unit.
