SEAT ADJUSTER CONCERN
The driver and front passenger seat longtitudinal adjuster latch spring may weaken and fail to lock the seat in the selected position. This could affect the drivers control of the vehicle and/or passenger safety.
Recall affected vehicles and check the effectiveness of the adjuster latch spring. Fit a new seat base in cases where the spring is found to be defective.
FRONT AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT CONCERN
Child seat safety cradle with transponder may not interact as intended with front passenger smart Airbag deactivation function. Software concern with control unit.
Replace front Airbag control unit with a quality assured item.
SEAT BELT LATCHING CONCERN
Driver and front passenger seat belt latching mechanism may separate when loaded in a frontal impact.
Recall affected vehicles and fit quality assured seat belt buckles.
SEAT SECURITY CONCERN
Driver and front passenger seat adjuster rails may fracture and cause seat to become insecure.
Recall affected vehicles and fit reinforcing plates to the seat runners. Fit new runners if the original ones are fractured.

POTENTIAL FUEL LEAK
Defective crimping of fuel return hose to metal pipe connector may result in a fuel leak.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a quality assured replacement pipe.
FRONT DRIVER/CO-DRIVER SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM MAY BECOME INOPERATVE
Front driver and co-driver seat locking mechanism may become inoperative. Seats may become insecure.
Recall affected vehicles and replace easy entry spring housing on driver and co-driver seat frame.
POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE
The diesel engine fuel feed and return metal pipes may fracture and leak if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the original fuel pipes with ones of improved specification.
REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Vauxhall in conjunction with DETR and VI have agreed to conduct a Customer Care Initiative whereby drivers of old style Astra F models will be advised that brake fluid is a service item due to its' hygroscopic (water absorbing) tendency.
Customers will be offered a free inspection and a special promotion brake fluid change should the fluid be found to be outside the manufacturers specified limits. A minor modification to the vehicle bonnet will also be carried out to eliminate the remote possibility of water entering the engine compartment along the bulkhead and contaminating the brake fluid. It should be noted that this Customer Care Initiative is being recorded under the Code of Practice.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
There is a possibility that the brake servo valve may not function correctly resulting in loss of servo assistance to the braking system.
Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.
LOSS OF BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
The brake vacuum pump fitted to the F8Q diesel engine can leak with the potential to allow oil to enter the brake servo with the consequence that a sudden loss of servo assistance and reduction of braking efficiency could occur.
All potentially affected vehicles will be recalled and the make of the vacuum pump checked. Should this be found to be of Magnetti Marelli manufacture the pump will be changed for a quality assured unit. In addition the servo and associated vacuum pipe will be examined for oil ingress and replaced where necessary.
POSSIBLE FIRE RISK
Under certain conditions the engine wiring harness may touch the bonnet hinge. With prolonged chafing this may lead to a possible electrical short circuit and if not dealt with eventual combustion.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the engine wiring harness re-routed and secured clear of the bonnet hinge.

FAILURE OF PARKING BRAKE CABLE
Insufficient diameter of the handbrake cable may cause the handbrake to fail prematurely.
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the handbrake cable replaced with a modified larger diameter version.
SECURITY OF FUEL PIPES
In a small number of cases the fuel supply and/or return pipes may detach from their connection at the fuel tank.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to have the security of the supply and return pipes checked. Where any of the pipes is found to be insecure the securing clip and if necessary the tank sender unit will be replaced.
FUEL TANK PROTECTION
In the event of an exhaust tail pipe fracture an unacceptably high level of heat radiation may occur in the area surrounding the fuel tank.
Recall the affected vehicles for the installation of a protective shield over the fuel tank.
1) POSSIBLE STATIC SPARKING DURING REFUELLING (ASTRA MODELS ONLY) 2) AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT DEPLOY
1) During refuelling the flow of fuel can cause static electricity to build up in the tank filler neck with the possibility of static sparking. 2) On some vehicles an electrical connector plug in the air bag system may not be correctly possible
A) The fitting of a metal earthing clamp to the lower end of the metal ring for the fuel filler cap to ensure a conductive connection between the filler neck and the vehicle body. B) Checking that in potentially affected vehicles the subject elect
