BOLTS OF THE TANDEM FUEL PUMP COVER MAY BREAK
It is advised that on some vehicles fitted with a 3 and 4 cylinder pump injector engine the bolts of the tandem fuel pump cover may break due to a bolt production fault. As a result the pump housing will not be tight and a diesel fuel leak may occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the pump checked for being of a certain manufacture. If found to be within the affected range the pump housing cover bolts will be replaced.

TENSION CRACKS MAY OCCUR ON THE VACUUM PIPE TO THE SERVO
Tension cracks may occur on the vacuum pipe to the brake servo in the area of the connections due to a manufacturing fault. Should a vacuum pipe leak the brake servo will loose it's function. This will result in an increase of force which must be applied to the brake pedal. But will not result in a total failure of the braking system.
Recalled vehicles will have the vacuum pipes checked and if necessary replaced.

BRAKE SERVO VACUUM PIPE MAY CRACK AND LEAK
The brake servo vacuum supply pipe may crack and leak. This could result in a loss of power assistance and require the driver to apply a lot more force to the brake pedal.
Examine the condition of the vacuum supply pipe and fit an improved quality replacement where necessary.
WINDSCREEN WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL
The windscreen wiper motor may cease to work because of an electrical software fault.
Replace the windscreen wiper motor of all affected vehicles.
BRAKE VACUUM SUPPLY PIPE CONCERN
On Arosa vehicles in the affected chassis number range tension cracks may occur on the vacuum pipe to the brake servo in the area of the connections of the pipes because of a manufacturing fault. If a vacuum pipe leaks the brake servo loses its function. Without the servo assistance a lot more force must be used on the pedal. But this will not lead to a failure of the brake system
The fitted vacuum pipes will be checked and if necessary replaced.
ANTI LOCK BRAKE CONTROL UNIT CONCERN
There is a risk that an electrical fault in the anti lock brake control unit (ABS) can cause overheating of related electrical components. This may lead to fire damage and cause the service brake to revert to a non-anti lock mode of operation.
Recall affected vehicles to check the part number and supplier code of the ABS control unit. Renew the ABS control unit where found necessary.
POTENTIAL FAILURE OF BATTERY CHARGING CIRCUIT
The power supply of the vehicle can be disrupted without warning (the alternator warning light does not illuminate) due to a break in the wiring loom at the alternator connector.
Recall affected vehicles and fit new wiring loom.
OVERHEATING OF BRAKE PADS
The brake servo may not release fully allowing the brake pads to remain in contact with the brake discs. This could result in possible overheating and loss of braking efficiency.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of an additional pull off spring to the brake servo.
SEIZURE OF COOLING FAN MOTOR
The bearing on the engine cooling fan may seize resulting in an electrical overload with potential fire risk.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a cooling fan which incorporates a modified bearing.
INSECURITY OF FAN BLADE
The pulley on the engine cooling fan may loosen causing the fan motor to seize leading to a possible electrical overload with fire risk.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a modified cooling fan and pulley.
POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT/FIRE RISK
The wiring loom from the ignition coil to the ECU may chafe on a cylinder head bolt. This could eventually result in an electrical short circuit and/or fire risk.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of brackets and cable ties to secure the wiring loom clear of the cylinder head bolt in question.
LEAKAGE FROM FUEL FILLER PIPE.
The handbrake cable may chafe on the fuel filler pipe causing perforation of the pipe and leakage of fuel.
Recall the affected vehicles for repositioning and securing of the handbrake cable to ensure adequate clearance between the cable and the filler pipe. At the same time any filler pipes found to be perforated will be replaced.
POSSIBLE BRAKE PIPE CHAFING ON CERTAIN MODELS
The steel brake pipe from the master cylinder to the ABS valve block may chafe on the air cleaner hose. This could result in failure of the pipe with loss of braking on one circuit.
Recall the affected vehicles shorten and re-route the air cleaner hose to avoid possible contact with the brake pipe. Where chafing has taken place the brake pipe will be replaced.
ABS WIRING MODIFICATION
The anti-lock brake electronic control unit may malfunction due to receiving a reversed polarity feed through its earthing system which shares a common earth point with other electrical systems on the vehicle.
Recall the affected vehicles and alter the wiring system to provide a separate earthing point for the ABS system.
