POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a risk of a loss of brake servo assistance due to the incorrect positioning of the air pressure sensor in the inlet manifold.
Check the position of the air pressure sensor and correct where necessary.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a risk of a loss of brake servo assistance due to the incorrect positioning of the air pressure sensor in the inlet manifold.
Check the position of the air pressure sensor and correct where necessary.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKES
Risk of loss of service brake due to securing clips missing from the brake pedal to servo cross shaft linkage.
Examine brake pedal cross shaft installation and replace any missing clips.
VEHICLE SURGE
The engine speed may surge intermittently when first started from cold when the outside temperature is between 0 degrees centigrade and plus 5 degrees centigrade.
Reprogramme the fuel injection computer.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF SPARE WHEEL
The spare wheel winch cable may seize or break and allow the wheel to fall onto the road.
Fit a modified spare wheel support cross member and winch unit.
INGRESS OF WATER INTO BRAKING SYSTEM
It is possible for water to enter the braking system via the cap of the brake fluid reservoir or via a vent hole between the boosters and master cylinders. Resultant vapour locks and/or corrosion of internal components could render the footbrake ineffective under arduous operating conditions.
Modify the brake fluid reservoir filler caps and master cylinder/booster venting arrangements to prevent the ingress of water.

RISK OF STALLING
The engine may stall at idle and/or when lifting off the throttle following a period of hard acceleration.
Check the serial number on the fuel pressure regulator and replace it if it is within the affected range.
SIDE AIR BAG CONCERN
The electrical connections to the side air bags may be transposed. This could result in the air bag on the opposite side to an impact being deployed.
Check side air bag wiring for transposed connections and correct where necessary.
POSSIBLE UNSCHEDULED DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG
The air bag control electrical wiring attached to the drivers swivelling seat may become damaged and cause unscheduled deployment of the drivers' air bag.
Examine wiring for damage and re-route and secure as necessary
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
Laguna II's fitted with the 1.6 16v engine may cut out and stall at idle/lift off when the air conditioning is switched on.
Rectified by recalibrating the injection computer.
FUEL LEAK / EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST CONCERN.
Danger of leakage from the Diesel injection high pressure pipes which can result in destruction of the Emergency Brake Assist connector located on the Brake Booster.
Replace diesel fuel injection high pressure rail and pipes and Emergency Brake Assist connector seal at Brake Booster Unit.
ENGINE SPEED CONTROL CONCERNS
1) Accelerator pedal may stick in the open position. (Petrol and diesel engine models). 2) Engine may stall at idle or after hard acceleration. (Diesel engine models).
1) Reposition pad at base of accelerator. 2) Repalce the pressure regulator valve on the diesel fuel pump.
ENGINE HESITATION AND IDLING CONCERN
Vehicles fitted with 1.4 16v engines and having the MGI motorised throttle housing and Sirius 34 injection computer may have engine hesitation and idling speed instability. This due to incorrect locking of the connector to the throttle housing causing instability in the operation of the injection system.
Rectified by replacing the motorised throttle housing connector.
ENGINE HESITATION AND IDLING CONCERN
Vehicles fitted with 1.4 16v engines and having the MGI motorised throttle housing and Sirius 34 injection computer may have engine hesitation and idling speed instability. This due to incorrect locking of the connector to the throttle housing causing instability in the operation of the injection system.
Rectified by replacing the motorised throttle housing connector.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE POWER ASSISTANCE
Non air conditioned Megane and Scenics equipped with K4J or K4M engines with a pre-catalytic convertor fitted may have a hard brake pedal (lack of braking assistance). This is caused by the deterioration of the braking assistance pipe as it passes too close to the source of heat emitted by the pre-catalytic convertor.
Recall affected vehicles and replace and/or reroute the brake assistance (vacuum) pipe.

DOOR SECURITY CONCERN
Customers may find that they are unable to secure the front and side doors of their vehicles due to wear of the locking bolt due to omission of heat treatment.
Rectified by replacing both the front and side door locks.
FRONT STABILISER BAR BRACKETS CONCERN
The front suspension stabiliser bar brackets may fracture.
Replace both front stabiliser bar brackets.
DOOR SECURITY CONCERN
Customers may find that they are unable to secure the front and side doors of their vehicles due to wear of the locking bolt due to omission of heat treatment.
Rectified by replacing both the front and side door locks.
POTENTIAL FUEL LEAKS
There is a risk of the diesel return pipe rubbing against the alternator and there is a risk of leakage from the connections of the high pressure pipes to the injectors. It is possible that the high pressure pump supply pipe may wear against the acoustic protector.
Reposition or replace any chafing fuel pipes as appropriate. Check the union connections for correct tightness on the high pressure pipes to the injectors.

PASSENGER AIR BAG SECURITY
There is a possibility that one of the four securing bolts may be missing which could cause incorrect deployment of the air bag during operation.
Recall affected vehicles and replace any missing air bag securing bolts.
TOWING BALL MOUNTING MAY CRACK
The towing ball mounting panel may flex under load and eventually crack causing the towing ball to become insecure.
Recall affected vehicles to fit towing ball mounting panel reinforcement kit.
