RR31 Rear Seat Belt Bolt Connection Check
This safety recall involves bolts which fix the left and right side rear seat safety belts to the vehicle body or bolts which fix the rear bench seat configuration backrest locking brackets to the vehicle body. One of these bolts may not have been tightened to specifications and over time could loosen and also potentially cause damage to either the left or right side rear seat safety belt webbing.
The possibly affected fixing bolts will be checked and either tightened to specifications or replaced as necessary. The condition of the left and right side rear seat safety belts will be checked and if necessary replaced.

Low Pressure Fuel Line Connection
On affected vehicles a low-pressure fuel line may not have been secured to the correct specification.
Affected vehicles will have the low-pressure fuel line removed and reinstalled to the correct torque specification.
Integrated Brake Module
On affected vehicles the Intergrated Brake System module may experience an electronic signal interference which may reduce braking power.
On affected vehicles the Intergrated Brake System Module will be replaced.
Integrated Brake Module
For the affected vehicle there is an issue involving the integrated brake (IB) system where an unexpected loss of hydraulic brake assist cannot be ruled out
The Integrated Brake System will be replaced.
On affected vehicles the ground connection cable between the front electric motor and the vehicle chassis may contain adhesive residue on the cable connector eyelet at the end of the cable which attaches to the electric motor.

EMERGENCY CALL (eCall) FUNCTION IS NOT AVAILABLE
Due to a coding error during production affected vehicles received an incorrect option code that blocks connected services. As a result the Emergency call (eCall) function is not available.
A new vehicle order will be installed on affected vehicles to unblock connected services (including eCall).

THE FUEL TANK FEED LINE CONNECTION MAY NOT BE FITTED CORRECTLY
The fuel tank feed line connection that is pre-fitted at the supplier to the fuel pump may not be fitted correctly.
The fuel tank will need to be lowered and the fuel line feed connection to be checked and refitted as necessary.

THE PLUG CONNECTOR PINS ATTACHMENT BETWEEN FRONT SEAT SAFETY BELTS AND THE ACSM CONTROL MODULE WAS REVERSED
The attachment of the plug connector pins between the front seat safety belts and the ACSM control module was reversed.
The pin configuration at the plug connector to the ACSM will be corrected.
THE AUXILLIARY WATER PUMP'S ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD CAN LEAD TO SHORT CIRCUIT
The auxiliary water pump may short circuit causing a thermal incident.
The Auxiliary Water Pump of the affected vehicles will be replaced.
HEAD AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The Head airbag may have been damaged during installation. As a result the airbag may not deploy correctly after activation.
On affected vehicles inspect and where necessary relace the Head airbag module
FRONT MOUNTED SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A COLLISION
It has been identified by the manufacturer that the air-bag initiator does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bags with a new quality assured component.
FRONT AIRBAGS AND BELT TENSIONERS MAY NOT BE TRIGGERED IN A COLLISON
It has been identified that the airbag/SRS central sensor has been programmed with faulty software. If the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rearward collision then the airbag and seat belt tensioners may not be triggered which could lead to an increased risk of injury to the occupants.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the airbag/SRS central sensor.
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The side curtain air bags for both left and right sides of the vehicle may not have been produced to specification. It is possible for the side curtain air bag may not position itself as intended during a collision thereby further increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the side curtain air bags on both left and right of the vehicle. Where necessary the side curtain air bag will be replaced.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Some engines are fitted with an additional water pump for the turbo charger. In some circumstances a crack may develop which then leads to melting of the plug connections and the housing. Further heat development may then lead to scorch damage. In exceptional cases such overheating can lead to smouldering of the water pump. If smouldering occurs an engine compartment fire and vehicle fire cannot be excluded.
The water pump will be replaced for a new more robust version.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Due to the ingress of moisture it is possible that a short circuit can occur in the additional coolant pump for the exhaust turbocharger. The driver will be informed of the issue by a warning message on the display in the instrument panel. If not addressed it is possible for further heat build up in the pump which may cause the plug connection and housing to melt and in extreme cases a localised fire in the engine compartment or vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the additional coolant pump.
POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
It is possible that engine oil can enter the brake servo via the brake vacuum pump and vacuum hose. If this occurs it could damage the brake servo membrane which may leak so causing a reduction in braking assistance and a requirement to apply increased pedal force to achieve the same braking efficiency.
Recall all affected vehicles for the fitment of a modified servo hose. In addition the checking of the brake servo for contamination and replacement if required.
AIR CAN ENTER PRIMARY CIRCUIT OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
The low pressure brake fluid feed pipe between the master cylinder and remote reservoir has the potential to trap air which may in certain circumstances cause partial failure of the primary brake circuit.
Recall affected vehicles and replace both brake fluid feed hoses and reservoir with a new assembly to a revised specification.

Recall affected vehicles and replace both brake fluid feed hoses and reservoir with a new assembly to a revised specification.
HEATED SEATS MAY REACH AN UNACCEPTABLY HIGH TEMPERATURE
On the vehicles affected the potential exists for the surface of each heated seat to reach an unacceptably high temperature. In extreme cases this could cause damage to anything in contact with the seat cushion.
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional control unit to each heated seat.
