Vauxhall Grandland Ball joint bracket fixation.
On affected vehicles the front left and right control arm ball-joint bracket screws are at risk of fracture which could affect the vehicle's controllability.
Inspect the marking on the left and right front ball-joint bracket and change if necessary.
Vauxhall Mokka BCM software Stop /Start System.
On affected vehicles the engine will run all the time and will not shut off in start/stop mode due to incorrect Body Control Module coding.
Update the Body Control Module software.
Vauxhall Grandland X PHEV Traction Battery
Affected vehicles may have a fault in the High Voltage Battery which could potentially lead to it overheating and in the worst case a battery or vehicle fire. Customers are advised to stop any plug-in charging and eSave charging until the vehicle is reworked.
Update the battery management software or replace the High Voltage Battery if necessary.
Emission recall – On Board Diagnostics
Vehicles may be affected by incorrect performance of the On-Board-Diagnostics related to Selective Catalytic Reduction system and/or Diesel Particle Filter. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may not illuminate in the event of a malfunction and therefore does not comply with emission regulations.
Update the Engine Control Unit software to ensure compliance to regulations.
Vauxhall Fuel Pipe
On affected vehicles there there may be loose connections between a high-pressure fuel pipe and the engine fuel rail which potentially could lead to a leak and risk of fire.
Retighten the affected connections.
Vauxhall DV5R Engines Camshaft Chain.
Vehicles may be affected by premature wearing of the camshaft drive chain leading to abnormal noise or to a breakage of the chain in the worst case.
Update the software to improve oil pressure and reduce wear. Check the engine noise and replace the chain if required. If no problem found change the oil to one with higher viscosity and special anti-wear additives.
Low Pressure Fuel Pipe
On affected vehicles the low-pressure fuel pipe could come in to contact with one of the ignition coil screws. This could lead to fuel pipe damage over time resulting in a fuel leak.
Fix the low-pressure fuel pipe to the crankcase breather hose with a cable tie to ensure there is no contact between the ignition coil screw and the fuel pipe.
Vauxhall Automomous Telematics Box.
Affected vehicles may experience an autonomous telematic box that cannot connect to the remote server making it not possible to make calls or use other connected services.
Disconnect the 12V battery and reconnect it after 15 seconds then check for a trouble code.
Vauxhall Astra Grandland Fuel pipe leakage
Affected vehicles may face potential leakage of the under-bonnet fuel pipe due to a weakness of its crimping.
Change the fuel pipe.
Vauxhall Astra Grandland Fuel pipe leakage
Affected vehicles may face potential leakage of the under-bonnet fuel pipe due to a weakness of its crimping.
Change the fuel pipe.
Vauxhall Grandland Front Seat harness
On affected vehicles the wiring harness for both front seats may be routed incorrectly which may lead to a short circuit and the potential risk of a non-working airbag.
Check and if necessary re-route the wiring harness.
Vauxhall Grandland Risk of broken bolt front control arm ball joint
On affected vehicles the fixing bolts on the front left or right bracket on the lower control arm may break. In the worst-case scenario 2 broken bolts could affect the controllability of the vehicle.
Change the front left and right ball joint brackets.
Vauxhall Grandland PHEV Traction Battery
On affected vehicles there is a fault in the High Voltage (HV) Battery which could potentially lead to a breakdown charging issue and/or overheating and in a worst-case scenario a High Voltage Battery or vehicle fire.
Replace the High Voltage Battery.
Affected vehicles may have a too low torque on the wheel bolts that could lead to loose wheels or wheel detachment in a worst case scenario.
Affected vehicles may have a too low torque on the wheel bolts that could lead to loose wheels or wheel detachment in a worst case scenario.
Check and re-torque wheel bolts if necessary.
Affected vehicles may face the risk of perforation of the HV battery reinforcing plate/battery cover over the vehicle lifetime due to water intrusion.
Affected vehicles may face the risk of perforation of the HV battery reinforcing plate/battery cover over the vehicle lifetime due to water intrusion.
A protective wax will be applied between HV battery reinforcing plate and battery cover.
Affected vehicles may experience HV Battery overheating that may lead to a HV Battery thermal runaway and in a worst case to a battery or vehicle fire.
Affected vehicles may experience HV Battery overheating that may lead to a HV Battery thermal runaway and in a worst case to a battery or vehicle fire.
The BMS (Battery Management System) will be reprogrammed with enhanced battery monitoring software.

Update the vehicle s software in order to improve the diagnosis of the braking assistance system and avoid any risk of reduction or loss of braking assistance
On the affected vehicles the operation of the brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt caused by the ageing of the engine oil.
To rectify this issue a software update will be downloaded which will improve the vacuum diagnosis (in order to warn earlier about the risk of loss or reduction of braking assistance).
A HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WHERE THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE VOLTAGE OF THE INDIVIDUAL CELLS
A high voltage battery where there is a mismatch in the voltage of the individual cells.
Replace the HV traction battery.
THE REAR WHEEL HUB SHOCK ABSORBER AND BRAKE CALIPER ARE POSSIBLY NOT TIGHTENED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATION
The rear wheel hub the shock absorber and the brake calliper are possibly not tightened according to specification.
Check the affected bolted connections on the rear axle for correct tightening torque application and replace affected components if necessary.
VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN ENGINE COOLING RADIATOR AIR INTAKE MODULE SEALING BAFFLE MISSING
Vehicles may have an engine cooling radiator air intake module sealing baffle missing.
Install the missing radiator air intake sealing baffle.
VEHICLES MAY BE FITTED WITH A NON CONFORM ACCESSORY TRAILER HITCH
Vehicles may be fitted with a non-conform accessory trailer hitch.
Check the batch number and if necessary replace the trailer hitch.
POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
A possible short-circuit between the electrodes of the high voltage battery.
Replace the High Voltage Battery
THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE / DEVELOP CRACKS
The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) might be defective / develop cracks.
Replace the Diesel particular filters on all affected vehicles.
