INTERCOOLER PIPE CLAMP MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that the outlet pipe of the intercooler may fail. In the worst case this could lead to the diesel particulate filter catching fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the intercooler pipe with a countermeasure part.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that affected vehicles have been fitted with an ignition switch which encompasses an improper design of the contact points.
Recalled vehicles will have the ignition switch replaced.
FRAME MAY CRACK AND DETACH
It has been identified that there may be a weld of insufficient strength joining a mounting bush to the attachment bracket of the main rear suspension pivot. The circular bush is joined by two opposing welds of approximately a quarter of the circumference each. Under heavy use the welds can develop a fracture and prolonged use in this condition can lead to detachment.
Recalled machines whether displaying the concern or not will have the brackets over-welded around the full circumference of the bush. In cases where the fracture has opened up a modified frame will be fitted.
FUEL TANK MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a small number of fuel tanks were manufactured with a thinner then specified wall thickness. It is therefore possible that these fuel tanks may not withstand normal impacts and could leak fuel.
Recalled machines will have their fuel tanks replaced with tanks having a wall thickness which meets the specification.
FUEL MAY LEAK FROM FUEL TANK
It has been identified due to the method used to mount the fuel tank that under certain engine conditions it is possible for a hairline crack to develop in the fuel tank. This can result in the fuel tank leaking.
Recalled machines will have the fuel tank removed and visually inspected for cracks following which the tank will be subject to pressure testing. If the tank should be found to leak it will be replaced. In any event all affected machines will be fitted with a re-designed fuel tank mounting kit to prevent future problems.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
An ignition wiring connector that is located under the fuel tank may separate causing the engine to fail.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and re-route the ignition wiring. Where necessary replace the wiring harness.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING AT REAR WHEEL
Under certain circumstances the rear brake hydraulic hose can contact the rear tyre sidewall causing the hose to wear and in extreme cases leak hydraulic fluid which could result in loss of braking to the rear wheel.
Recalled machines will be fitted with an additional rear brake hose guide and the rear brake hose will be inspected and renewed; in the case of any tyre contact damage.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
An ignition wiring connector that is located under the fuel tank may separate causing the engine to fail.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and re-route the ignition wiring. Where necessary replace the wiring harness.
FUEL TANK MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the retaining ring which fastens the fuel pump to the fuel tank may have been incorrectly fitted. This could result in fuel leaking from a full tank if the machine were to be placed on the side stand.
Recalled machines will have the original fuel pump retainer replaced with a new part.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
It has been identified that if the steering tie rod ends have been incorrectly aligned either at build or in use the seal which protects the ball-joint may be forced out of position allowing the ingress of contaminants ultimately resulting in early failure of the joint with possible loss of directional control.
Recalled machines will have the left and right hand steering tie rod ends replaced with those of a different design.
RISK OF FIRE
There is a risk of damage (shorting) between the cable connections and glow plugs due to insufficient torque on the connector securing nuts on the relay end posts.
Recall affected vehicles check the security of the glow plug relay cables and if required replace the glow plug relay.
IGNITION SWITCH COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE
It has been identified that the ignition switch could malfunction which with continuous use could cause the engine to stall and the lights to become inoperative.
Recalled machines will be fitted with a quality assured ignition switch.
DRIVE SHAFT MAY BECOME DETACHED
Left hand inner drive shaft joint retaining Circlip is of incorrect specification this may result in drive shaft joint not being held in the correct position. Under high speed driving conditions incorrect holding force of joint will result in loss of drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace with new quality assured circlip.
INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP MAY RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK
Possible malfunction of the fuel pump caused by damage to the inner diaphragm which in the worst case may lead to fuel leaking from the pump body.
Recalled scooters will have the fuel pump replaced.
UNDER LOW TEMPERATURES THE PRESSURE REGULATOR MAY FREEZE AND CAUSE LEAKAGE
Under extremely low ambient temperatures the fuel pressure regulator may become frozen and cause leakage from the junction point of the fuel hose due to an increase in pressure.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and subject them to the following rework action. 1 Replace the fuel pressure regulator.2 Change the vacuum system routing utilising new parts.3 Replace the fuel delivery hose with new improved parts and a new clip. On Grand Vitara XL-7 models items 1 and 2 only will be carried out.

On Grand Vitara XL-7 models items 1 and 2 only will be carried out.
THE GEARSHIFT CABLE MAY BREAK WHILST IN SERVICE
The manual transmission gearshift control cable may break due to a lack of maximum strength and durability. This will result in the inability of the driver to either select or de-select the gears.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the gearshift cable.
INADVERTENT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
It has been identified that a limited number of UH125K4 Burgman scooters may have debris/foreign material from the assembling process lodged in the engine intake or inlet port area. This may lead to loss of engine power and or stalling.
Recall affected machines and inspect the intake pipe and inlet port.
INCORRECT SPECIFICATION SHOCK ABSORBERS FITTED TO FRONT SUSPENSION
The incorrect specification shock absorbers may have been fitted during manufacture
Recall affected vehicles and replace the incorrect shock absorbers with correctly specified units.
FRONT SUSPENSION FASTNERS MAY NOT BE TO THE CORRECT TORQUE
Vehicles may have been produced with the front suspension fastenings incorrectly tightened.
Affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the subject fastenings will be slackened off and then re-torqued.
FRONT SUSPENSION FASTNERS MAY NOT HAVE BE TO THE CORRECT TORQUE
Vehicles may have been produced with the front suspension fastenings incorrectly tightened.
Affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the subject fastenings will be slackened off and then re-torqued.
INCORRECT SPECIFICATION METAL BRAKE PIPES MAY BE FITTED TO REAR BRAKING SYSTEM
Potential fitment of incorrect specification metal brake pipes to the rear braking system.
Affected vehicles will have the rear brake pipes inspected for conformity of specification and changed should a non - compliance be found.
HANDBRAKE CONTROL BUTTON FAULTY
Parking Brake release button may become detached
Recall affected vehicles check operational functionality and if found to be faulty replace handbrake assembly.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE DISC PAD
There is a possibility that the securing e-ring of the rear brake caliper retaining pad pin could work loose during long high speed riding. In the worst possible case the pad retaining pin can become completely detached and the rear disc pads drop out of the caliper giving a loss of braking performance.
Recall affected machines and replace rear caliper and swinging arm.
SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES MAY BE DAMAGED
The front seat belt anchorage points bolt threads may have been damaged during installation. This could result in failure of the seat belt anchorages in an accident.
Remove all front seat belt anchorage bolts and examine the bolt and captive nut threads for damage. Renew or repair any damaged parts.
