A-PILLAR PASSENGER PROTECTION TRIMS MAY PEEL OFF IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES
A-pillar trims are fitted to the vehicle affected with a fleece on their inner side which may peel off during temperatures below zero. This fleece should prevent the broken off parts of the A-pillar trim from entering the vehicles interior during a head airbag activation. If the fleece has peeled off the broken parts of the trim could penetrate into the interior potentially injuring the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit new front A-pillar trims.
TOWING EYE IN THE VEHICLE TOOL KIT MAY DETACH DURING USE
The welding of the towing eye in the vehicle tool kit may not be to specification. As a result the weld on the eye may fail during use causing loss of propulsion and the towrope with the attached eye can potentially cause property damage and personal injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the towing eye in the vehicle tool kit.
REAR WHEEL BEARING HOUSINGS MAY BE INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY
