Showing 151–175 of 227 recalls.
STEERING CONTROL COULD BE LOST
Corrosion of the front suspension struts may cause the steering knuckle to become detached from the front suspension strut leading to loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the front suspension struts.
MACHINE MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE
The flame trap mesh fitted inside the air cleaner/filter box can become detached. It is possible that the mesh may enter the throttle body housing and jam the throttle valve. This may prevent the throttle from fully returning to its idle position.
Recall the affected machines and replace the flame trap mesh with a modified version.
LOSS OF STEERING ASSISTANCE.
Steering assistance may be lost because the power steering tensioner pulley material is not to specification. The pulley may fail and cause a loss of drive to the hydraulic pump.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the power steering tensioner pulley.
LOSS OF STEERING ASSISTANCE.
Steering assistance may be lost because the power steering tensioner pulley material is not to specification. The pulley may fail and cause a loss of drive to the hydraulic pump.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the power steering tensioner pulley.
BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL
An assembly fault in the wiring harness may induce a high current in the brake light shift lock solenoid which may burn/melt the contacts.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the Brake Light Switch and fit modified wiring harness.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that due to an engineering fault in production a dimensional variation has occurred to the fuel pump seating. This may result in a possible fuel leak from the pump seating area whilst the vehicle is being fuelled.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel pump gasket and O replaced.
REAR SEATBELT ANCHORAGES MAY FAIL
It has been identified that due to corrosion build up it is possible that the rear seatbelt anchorages may become structurally weak and may fail under heavy braking.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear luggage compartment inspected for corrosion. In all cases the carpet will be changed and the area cleaned. In cases where corrosion is found the area will be cleaned and treated as necessary.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that due to improper insulation of a branch of the engine wiring harness the possibility exists that the harness will chafe on either a cam cover securing bolt or on the cam cover itself. Damage to the harness may lead to a sudden loss of engine power or in the worst case a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject wiring harness fitted with a protector.
BOOT LIGHT MAY CATCH FIRE
It has been identified that due to a build up of corrosion on the boot light terminals a short circuit may possibly occur. This can result in melting of the terminals which may result in a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the boot light and side quarter trims replaced. Additionally the wiring harness to the boot light will be repaired as necessary.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that due to the use of an inappropriate material for the intercooler outlet pipe insulator it is possible for the intercooler outlet pipe insulation to detach from the throttle body. This may cause excessive deposition of carbon within the diesel particulate filter that may burn up and result in overheating or melting of the filter. In the worst case the filter may catch fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the intercooler outlet pipe insulator replaced with a quality assured component and bracket.
AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY
It has been identified that due to an incorrect routing of the passenger side airbag wiring harness the potential exists that the passenger side airbag might deploy when the ignition is switched on.
Recalled vehicles will have the wiring harness re-routed and fitted with a harness protector.
IMMEDIATE POWER LOSS COULD OCCUR
The short wiring harness from the rotary ignition switch may be incorrectly routed which in the worst case could cause the copper wires to separate and the engine to cut out and not able to restart.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the wiring harness. The wiring harness will be re-routed and replaced as necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Due to improper shaping of the fuel pipes and engine vibration it is possible that the pipes may crack and allow fuel to escape.
Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel pipe assembly with modified version.
ENGINE MAY NOT REMAIN AT IDLE SPEED
Gear engagement from neutral and low speed control of the machine could be affected by the idle speed control valve being of incorrect specification
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the idle speed control valve and to reprogramme the Electronic Control Module.
WIRING HARNESS MAY CHAFE RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
It has been identified that due to improper insulation of a branch of the engine wiring harness. The possibility exists that the harness can chafe on the cam cover securing bolt and sustain damage. Should this occur a possible sudden loss of engine power might ensue.
Subject vehicles will have the engine wiring harness inspected and repaired as necessary before being fitted with a protective cover.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
It is possible that the parking brake cable end could detach from the trailing brake shoe lever rendering the parking brake ineffective.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to refit or replace the cables.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that the intercooler has been improperly designed. This may allow the intercooler to come apart in use causing an improper mixture ratio of air/fuel in the diesel particulate filter. In the worst case the particulate filter may ignite.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with an engine intercooler attachment assembly.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that due to an improper design of the intercooler inlet hose there is a possibility that the air/fuel mixture ratio may be incorrect within the diesel particulate filter assembly. This in the worst case may cause the diesel particulate filter to ignite.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified intercooler hose.
GEAR SELECTION MAY BE LOST
It has been identified that due to an improper design of the gear change cable retaining clip contact on the gear lever housing by the clip is possible if excessive force is applied when selecting first gear. In this situation the clip may detach at which point gear selection will be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the gear change cable clip replaced with a quality assured part.
FUEL MAY LEAK
A fuel leak may occur from the rubber hose that links the front and rear cylinder's curved metal fuel rails.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel rails with ones that have been modified.
PARKING BRAKE CABLE MAY DETACH
Parking brake cable end fixing may detach resulting in loss of parking brake
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the cable end position and if necessary refix in the correct position and adjust as necessary. Cables to be replaced as necessary.
STEERING MAY BE LOST
It has been found that some front suspension wishbone mounting eyes have insufficient weld applied. This could cause a front suspension to collapse and the loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the senpension arms and replace the suspension arms where necessary.
AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY IRREGULARLY
The airbag may deploy in an irregular fashion and possibly cause the passenger personal injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag bracket with a countermeasure part.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Under certain conditions there is a possibility that one of the two brake circuits may fail.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected to replace the brake master cylinder.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Under certain conditions there is a possibility that one of the two brake circuits may fail.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected to replace the brake master cylinder.
