POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It has been identified that on affected vehicle's the right hand front lower control arm guide joint may be incorrectly mounted. In the worst case the lower control arm could work loose separate from the steering knuckle and severely impair the control of the vehicle.
Recalled vehicles will have the guide joint checked for correct mounting and replaced if the mounting is found to be incorrect.
WATER INGRESS INTO ABS WIRING MAY CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT AND A FIRE
It has been identified that the above vehicles could be affected by moisture ingress at the ABS connector. The moisture can enter through the ground wiring connection which can lead to the ABS not functioning correctly overheating within the connector and in extreme cases a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the ABS harness plug checked for moisture ingress and where necessary the wiring harness and control unit will be replaced. In all other cases the ground cable will be secured against ingress of moisture by soldering the cable sockets and applying shrink tubes.

REAR AXLE HUB MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
The hardening process applied to the rear wheel bearing inner ring may be incorrect. There is a possibility that a rumbling noise may become apparent which if not checked could in extreme circumstances result in the detachment of the hub and severely impaired road holding/handling.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the date stamp on the rear wheel hubs. Where necessary replace the hub bearing assembly.

INCORRECT TORQUE APPLIED TO TRAILER HITCH FITTING BOLTS
It has been identified that during production an incorrect torque was applied to the trailer hitch fitting bolts.
Recalled vehicles will have the trailer hitch bolts replaced and tightened to the correct torque.
AIRBAG COULD BECOME LOOSE
Constant quality controls have revealed that on some vehicles the passenger side airbag mounting fixing screws were not torqued to the correct specification. This could result in the airbag unit becoming loose.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and tighten the two airbag retaining screws
INCORRECT GEAR AND STEERING KNUCKLE FITTED
As a result of an incorrect steering gear and steering knucle combination being fitted during manufacture the front tyres may contact the lower front suspension arms when the steering is turned on to a full lock.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace both the steering knucles. Additionally the lower suspension arms and tyres will be checked for damage.
ISOFIX CONNECTOR MIGHT BREAK DUE TO MATERIAL NOT BEING TO SPECIFICATION
It has been identified that the Isofix connector which is part of the Opel/Vauxhall accessory child seat with transponder might break. This is as the result of the material not being to specification.
End users will be contacted and the seat replaced.
AUXILIARY HEATER HARNESS CONNECTOR COULD OVER HEAT
It is possible that the auxiliary heater harness connection could over heat or burn due to oxidization. In extreme cases it is possible that this could result in a thermal incident.
Recall the affected vehicles and install heat shrink sleeves to the wining.
STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING COULD IMPAIR CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
Steering wheel mounting may not have been tightened to specification. This may lead to the steering wheel vibrating so impairing control of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected replace the steering wheel and fix with a new bolt to a new tightening specification.
REAR EXHAUST PIPE MAY MOVE BACKWARDS SLIPPING OFF THE FRONT PIPE
The possibility exists that the rear exhaust pipe can move backwards and slip off the front pipe. With the possibility that under body components may become damaged.
Recall affected vehicles check likely to be affected under body areas and install a new exhaust clamp.
REAR EXHAUST PIPE MAY MOVE BACKWARDS SLIPPING OFF THE FRONT PIPE
The possibility exists that the rear exhaust pipe can move backwards and slip off the front pipe. With the possibility that under body components may become damaged.
Recall affected vehicles check likely to be affected under body areas and install a new exhaust clamp.
POSSIBILITY OF INNER THROTTLE CABLE STICKING
Due to moisture and dust ingress the inner throttle cable may stick.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the throttle cable end cover or the cable assembly as necessary.
FIXING BOLTS OF THE REAR SEAT BELT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TORQUED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATION
Fixing bolts of the rear seat belt on the height adjuster C pillar and body sill may not have been torqued according to specification
Recall likely to be affected vehicles check torque rear seat belts and tighten to specification.
STEERING WHEEL CENTRE SCREW MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED CORRECTLY.
The steering wheel centre screw may not have been tightened correctly.
Replace the centre torx screw and tighten to the specified torque.
STEERING WHEEL CENTRE SCREW MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED CORRECTLY.
The steering wheel centre screw may not have been tightened correctly.
Replace the centre torx screw and tighten to the specified torque.
POWER STEERING GEAR LOWER BEARING MAY SEPARATE
Power steering gear lower bearing may separate causing intermittent increased steering effort when turning.
Check lower bearing and where necessary install a new bearing or power steering gear.
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF BRAKE PEDAL LINKAGE RETAINING CLIP.
A brake pedal linkage retaining clip may become detached after high mileage. Although no incidents have been reported in the worst case a pedal link could become detached and render the footbrake ineffective.
Fit modified brake pedal linkage retaining clips.
POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN BRAKE PERFORMANCE
Potential soft brake pedal and reduced brake performance due to water induced corrosion of the brake master cylinder and consequential fluid leakage.
Replace the brake master cylinder and refill brake system with fresh fluid.
FRONT BRAKE CALIPER BOLTS CONCERN
There is a slight chance that one or more of the tapped holes for the four bolts securing the two halves of the brake caliper body together has not been threaded through the full depth of the hole. The structural integrity of any such caliper may be compromised with the risk of fatigue failure of the caliper occurring after an extended period.
Check the caliper tapped holes. If any incomplete threading is found the brake caliper is to be replaced.
DRIVERS AIR BAG CONCERN
There is a risk that the drivers air bag can crack over time and subsequently may not properly inflate under deployment.
Replace drivers air bag.
POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION OF BRAKE FLUID
As a result of a production process concern a specific batch of brake calliper pistons may release hot hydrogen gas into the braking system fluid.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for on the brake calliper batch numbers. Vehicle equipped with calliper units from the affected batch will have these replaced with quality assured examples.
