    SEATBELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY

    Defect

    The driver and/or front passenger seatbelt could be improperly connected to the outboard lap pretensioner.

If a collision occurs and the aforementioned condition exists there is an elevated risk of additional injury to the occupant of the seat.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected for inspection of the seatbelt connection to the pretensioner and the anchor plates. If the condition is evident the seatbelt/s will be reassembled to ensure proper connection.

    SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR

    Defect

    Although highly unlikely it is possible that the wiring harness for the 12V auxiliary battery could as a result of incorrect routing chaff on the carbon fibre armature of the vehicle. If this condition exists and is not addressed it could in time result in a short circuit and electrical arching which could cause a fire. The high voltage main battery pack and associated wiring is not affected in any way and the issue poses no threat to the electrical system that powers the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to check the wiring and install a protective sleeve as an additional precautionary measure.
