STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
It has been identified that on a certain number of 2007 model year vehicles the front lower suspension control arms might fracture near the bushing due to a production deviation during the welding process. The control arm may then lack rigidity; which may impair driving stability. In the worst case the driver may loose control of the vehicle.
Subject vehicles will have the control arm welds checked and replaced as necessary.
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.
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.
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.

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
POSSIBLE CHAFING OF WIRING
Under certain conditions the alternator feed wire/terminal may contact the clutch cable and the instrument panel harness may chafe against the steering column. Either of these concerns could lead to short circuiting and.
Recall the affected vehicles reposition the alternator terminal and secure the wiring harnesses in the bulkhead area away from moving parts.
