FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
A front seat side air bag may not deploy as intended
On affected vehicles replace the airbag module assembly
PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
The passenger air bag may not deploy as intended
On affected vehicles replace the airbag module assembly
SIDEBOARD OR TAILBOARD MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the side board/tail board hinges may fail. This could result in the detachment of the side board whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Recall all affected vehicles to install additional safety reinforcement brackets to the side boards/tail board of the body and check the existng hinges and repair if necessary.
REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE
An incorrect front brake hose may have been fitted which may allow brake fluid to leak
On affected vehicles check and where necessary replace front brake hoses
STEERING RACK MAY FRACTURE
Due to a manufacturing process deviation the toothed rack of the steering gear might break under extensive force application i.e. when manoeuvring at slow speed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the build date of the steering rack. Where the steering rack is proved to be from the affected batch the steering rack will be replaced.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the build date of the steering rack. Where the steering rack is proved to be from the affected batch the steering rack will be replaced.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
There is the possibility of water penetration into the vent hose resulting in water ingress into the vacuum pump over the wire harness and into the relay box. In the worst case a short circuit may lead to a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles add a spray deflector to avoid water ingress into the vent hose replace the electronic vacuum pump/relay box assembly and apply special grease to the electrical terminals.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
Repeated occupant movement into the seat over the fastener leading to bending of the steel cable. Possible damage of safety belt anchor cable - worst case: Loss of seat belt function
This recall is additional to Recall R/2015/201.Improved parts are now available and the manufacturer will now replace the outer pre tensioners.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
Vehicles equipped with stop/start system might have a starter motor failure while driving due to thermal damage of the starter cable.
Authorised Repairers will Rework the starter motor cable. If necessary replace the starter the starter cable and the starter cable nut.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The passenger air bag may not meet the correct specification. In the possible event of a frontal collision front passenger airbag might not deploy as intended.
On affected vehicles replace passenger air bag module.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The passenger air bag may not meet the correct specification. In the possible event of a frontal collision front passenger airbag might not deploy as intended.
On affected vehicles replace passenger air bag module.
EGR VALVE PIPE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve pipe may fail/break. This will allow hot exhaust gases to escape and potentially damage component in the surrounding area.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the EGR valve pipe.
TAIL LIGHTS MAY FAIL IF REAR BICYCLE CARRIER IS FOLDED BACK INCORRECTLY
It has been identified on certain Mokka models produced between 2013 & 2017 equipped with a rear bicycle carrier that if the rear bicycle carrier is not folded back into its correct stowed position after use then the body control module will not recognise this and will not illuminate the vehicles rear/tail lights when required.
Recall all affected vehicles to attach a sticker on the rear bicycle carrier instructing driver how to stow the rear bicycle carrier correctly.
BONNET CATCH MAY FAIL
Due to an incorrect tightening operation in the production plant the locking function of the hood might not work correctly. This may allow the bonnet to open whilst the vehicle is in motion
On affected vehicles check tightness of securing bolts and replace where necessary
OIL MAY LEAK IN EXTREME CASES MAY CAUSE A FIRE
Affected vehicles may have been built with an incorrect crimping of the turbocharger oil feed pipe connector. This may cause oil leakage which may lead to odours smoke oil specks on the floor or engine failure. In the worst case a fire in the engine compartment could occur.
On affected vehicles replace the turbo charger oil feed pipe.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The thread on the swivel pin of the track rod end might not be to specification. Therefore when the nut was tightened onto the thread the correct clamping force may not have been attained. After high mileage damage might occur and develop. If not attended to there is a possiblility that the component might fail and steering control would be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the thread on the swivel joint of the track rod end. Where it does not conform to specification replace the track rod end.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the thread on the swivel joint of the track rod end. Where it does not conform to specification replace the track rod end.
RISK OF FIRE
Water may penetrate into the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) connector. In the worst case water can enter the EBCM where a short circuit may lead to a risk of fire. Warning before the fire element could occur is: flashing warning lamp which will give sufficient warning for the vehicle to be parked safely or if nearby taken to the dealership for repair.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check if the water cowl fastening clip correctly seals the water channel and that proper sealing of the EBCM connector is ensured. If necessary the EBCM and/or the hydraulic modulator will be replaced.
RISK OF FIRE
In the event the heater fan resistor thermal fuse is affected by a combination of several factors there is a possible risk of fire.
Replace the resistor fuse with modified type. Fit new moulding to base of windscreen and where not already done so replace heater motor assembly.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
One or both bolts retaining the passenger air bag may have been omitted during production. As a result the airbag may not deploy as intended during a frontal collision.
On affected vehicles check bolts are present for tightness and fit new bolts where required.
RISK OF DRIVESHAFT FAILURE
Due to insufficient coating during manufacture the drive-shafts) may corrode and fracture. In the event that the drive-shaft is fractured the vehicle loses drive but steering and braking will be still be available.
On affected vehicles replace both drive shafts.

On affected vehicles replace both drive shafts.
RISK OF FIRE
Water ingress to the relay on the electrical vacuum pump may cause a short. In extreme instances this may lead to fire.
On affected vehicles replace Vacuum Pump/Relay Assembly and apply special grease to electrical connectors
BONNET LOCK MAY FAIL
The tightening torque of both hood primary latch bolts may not be to specification and cause the locking function of the hood to not work correctly. The loosening of the hood latch screws under the influence of vibrations together with the aerodynamic pressure under the hood can lead to the bonnet not staying in the closed position.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the tightening torque of both hood primary latch bolts. Where necessary the bolts will be replaced.
