Showing 26–49 of 49 recalls.
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.
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.

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.
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.
REAR WHEEL COULD DETACH
It is possible that the rear wheel bearing was damaged whilst it was assembled onto the stub axle. This could result in bearing failure and the detachment of the wheel and hub.
Replace rear wheel bearing and hub carrier.

It is possible that the rear wheel bearing was damaged whilst it was assembled onto the stub axle. This could result in bearing failure and the detachment of the wheel and hub.
Replace rear wheel bearing and hub carrier.
SPARE WHEEL MAY BECOME DETACHED
The spare wheel carrier winch system may allow the spare wheel to be loosely installed after the customer has used the winch. In this condition the spare wheel might move during driving which may damage and eventually break the cable and guiding pin of the winch system. In this worst case the spare wheel would become detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the complete spare wheel winch system.

In this worst case the spare wheel would become detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the complete spare wheel winch system.
REAR AXLE MAY FAIL
There is a risk that the nearside rear axle spindle may crack which in the most serious cases will lead to the spindle breaking which dependent on loading could make directional control difficult to maintain.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to change the rear axle.
REAR AXLE MAY FAIL
Because of a manufacturing error the nearside rear stub axle could start to develop cracks at the inner radius which could eventually lead to failure of the stub axle and difficulty in maintaining directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear axle.
FRONT SEAT MAY FAIL
It has been found that some of the front seat mounting brackets have not been correctly fitted to the seats. The front seat mountings could fail if the fitting brackets have been incorrectly fitted. Vehicle control could be affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit new seat assemblies.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The seat belt positioning may be incorrect due to the front seat brackets not being to specification. This could affect the seat security and seat belt performance if an accident occurs.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit new seat assemblies.
DRIVERS SEAT MAY DETACH
Due to the non-conformity of some welds under situations of extreme braking the driver's seat may detach from the floor fixing.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject welds and fixing lugs re-welded.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
POSSIBLE RESTRICTION IN HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM
There is a possibility of a restriction in a plastic double pipe union on the brake master cylinder. This could prevent or reduce the operation of the hydraulic braking circuit.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the plastic union examined for evidence of any restriction. If a restriction is found the plastic pipe union will be replaced with a quality assured version.

Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the plastic union examined for evidence of any restriction. If a restriction is found the plastic pipe union will be replaced with a quality assured version.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
Wear in the area of the support bearings may lead to failure of the primary steering shaft and cause loss of directional control.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to have the original shaft replaced with a complete assembly.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ATTACHMENT
Due to the effect of corrosion on the aluminium spacer at the master cylinder mounting it is possible for the brake master cylinder to detach from the airpac unit rendering one half of the service brake system inoperative.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a re-designed spacer to the brake master cylinder mounting.
