THE SEAT ATTACHMENT RAILS MAY IN CERTAIN CASES LACK THE STIPULATED EXTRA RIVETS AT THE END OF EACH RAIL
The seat attachment rails may lack the stipulated extra rivets at the end of each rail.
Check the assembly and install additional rivets as required.

TOO LITTLE OR MISSING CLEARANCE FROM HYDRAULIC OIL PRESSURE HOSE TOWARDS FRAME MEMBER
Too little or missing clearance from hydraulic oil pressure hose towards frame member causing chaffing and oil leakage.
Adjust hose clearance to ensure chaffing is avoided with the engine running.
REAR SEAT BACK LOCK STRIKERS MAY BE MISSING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SEAT
The rear seat back lock strikers may be missing on both sides of the seat which could cause the backrest not to remain in the upright position.
On affected vehicles install the missing striker plates.
STARTER MOTOR HEATSHIELD MAY BREAK OFF
The starter motor heatshield may break off.
Replace the starter motor heatshield with a new version.
CORROSION/ POOR ADHESION POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE FRONT SPOILER BRACKETS TO COME LOOSE
The front spoiler brackets may become loose.
Secure brackets with additional screws.
FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKET JOINT BREAKS/CRACKS
On affected vehicles the fuel tank mounting bracket joint may break/crack with the risk of the fuel tank dropping to the floor and parting from the fuel filler neck resulting in fuel spillage (environmental contamination).
On affected vehicles the fuel tank mounting bracket is inspected implementing welding reinforcement to the mounting bracket.
SEAT BELT BUCKLE RUBBING AGAINST PLASTIC SEAT COVER
On affected vehicles in certain circumstances the drivers seat belt buckle (steel rope) is rubbing against the plastic seat cover which may result in damage to the wire. In the event of an accident there is a risk the seat belt buckle steel rope could break.
On affected vehicles inspect the seat belt buckle and in the case of damage replace accordingly.
INSUFFICIENT FORGING STATUS IN STEERING ARM
Steering arm may have insufficient forging status and become insecure
Replacement of steering arm on front axle
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
A potential chafing condition has been identified between the alternator power cables and urea coolant pipe which may result in short circuit. Electrical cables might short circuit.
Add a rubber spacer with cable tie to secure power cables from chafing on coolant pipe. If the power cable is identified to be damaged the cable will be replaced.
DRIVER'S AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The driver's airbag inflator may rupture due to uncontrolled burning of propellant. As a consequence violent deployment of the airbag may cause injuries to occupants.
On affected vehicles inspect and replace the driver's air bag where necessary.

On affected vehicles inspect and replace the driver's air bag where necessary.
LOSS OF POWER ASSISTANCE TO STEERING
In certain cases a driver may experience sudden loss of power assistance to the steering due to voltage irregularities in the Electro Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) system.
This is a further action to a previous recall. On affected vehicles the invertor software is to be further updated to cope with voltage spikes / drops and to improve fault tracing. The braided earth cable will also be replaced by a copper cable to ensure the invertor earthing is secured.

STARTER MOTOR HEATSHIELD MAY BREAK OFF AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
The brackets retaining the heat shield of the starter motor may fail and allow the heat shield to fall on and chafe through the B+ cable. If left there is a theoretical risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the starter motor heat shield. Additionally the exhaust pipe will be inspected for signs of cracks on flange facing turbo outlet and the gasket will be replaced.
VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE DRIVER KNOWING THE MIDDLE DOOR IS OPEN
It has been identified that in certain cases the driver is able to manoeuvre the vehicle with the middle door open without a visual or audible warning. Risk of the vehicle being driven with the middle door open.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and apply software updates to the Instrument Cluster and Body Builder Module to warn the driver when the middle door is open. At speeds below 5 km/h the �Any door open� icon and CHECK lamp are illuminated and at speeds above 5 km/h the �Any door open� icon STOP lamp and audible buzzer are activated.

LOSS OF POWER ASSISTANCE TO STEERING
The driver may experience sudden loss of power assistance to the steering due to voltage irregularities in the Electro Hydraulic Power Steering system. The driver will have to apply increased effort to steer the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download new software to the inverter which can cope with voltage spikes and/or drops.

ERRATIC ACCELERATOR BEHAVIOUR
A faulty accelerator pedal sensor may cause erratic accelerator operation during operation of the accelerator pedal.This may vary between no throttle reaction to a speed greater than expected for a throttle position
On affected vehicles replace the accelerator pedal with a new variant and install an adapter wiring harness
