FUSE BOX CONNECTIONS INSECURE
The flange nut can seize on the thread of the studs in the fuse box which could mean the terminals do not have the correct torque and may be loose. This could cause arcing.
Check fuse box; Replace all fuse box cable flange nuts to new correct type nuts and tighten to correct torque. If necessary replace the fuse box

REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT PRE TENSIONER MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
The pre-tensioner in the driver�s side third row passenger seat belt may not have been produced according to the correct specification In the event of a collision the pre tensioner and seat belt will still operate as intended but a very small part could enter the passenger compartment. As a temporary measure until the seat belt has been replaced it is recommended that the seat belt is not used.
On affected vehicles replace the seat belt.
RISK OF REAR UNDERRUN DETACHING
It has been identified the mounting bolts/nuts for the rear underrun device may not have been torqued to the correct specification. This could result in the rear underrun device becoming detached from the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check for damage replace the mounting bolts/nuts and torque them to the correct specification.
INCORRECT OIL PAN FITTED
It has been established that on certain vehicles fitted with an MDE5 engine they may have been delivered with a lower volume oil pan during production. There is a risk of the sump being overfilled with oil. This could result in either the engine suffering a runaway due to it consuming its own oil or the Catalytic Converter can be contaminated which will affect the exhaust emissions.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the oil pan and dip stick also to update the Engine Management System (EMS) software.

EXHAUST EMISSION CRITERIA IS NOT MET
It has been identified that an issue with the engine software may affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions and an issue with the regenerations of the SCR brick.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the engine software.

It has been identified that an issue with the engine software may affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions and an issue with the regenerations of the SCR brick.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the engine software.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY BE INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED
It has been identified there is a possibility that during production the split pin for the brake pedal cross shaft may not have been correctly installed. This could result in the reduction of braking effort due to the movement of the cross shaft.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required fit a split pin or further secure the currently installed split pin.

RETAINING BOLT FOR INFLATABLE CURTAIN MAY BE BROKEN
The retaining bolts used to assemble the Inflatable Curtain may be broken and offer less protection in the event of an incident.
On affected vehicles replace all retaining bolts.
RETAINING BOLT FOR INFLATABLE CURTAIN MAY BE BROKEN
The retaining bolts used to assemble the Inflatable Curtain may be broken and offer less protection in the event of an incident.
On affected vehicles replace all retaining bolts.

The retaining bolts used to assemble the Inflatable Curtain may be broken and offer less protection in the event of an incident.
On affected vehicles replace all retaining bolts.
ALTERNATOR MAY OVERHEAT
It has been identified that during production the temperature sensors for the alternator have been installed/located in the wrong position. This can result in the driver not receiving an early warning of the alternator overheating.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the location of all the temperature sensors for the alternator and if found incorrectly positioned reposition them as per the technical service instruction including checking of the alienator bearings/friction.
REAR AXLE SUSPENSION MAY BECOME INSECURE
Rear leaf spring retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification.
On affected vehicles check spring hangers and replace as required.

On affected vehicles check spring hangers and replace as required.
DRAG LINK JOINTS MAY BE INCORRECTLY TORQUED
It has been identified that the drag link rod ball joints and/or at the link rod clamp may not have been torqued to the correct specification. It is therefore possible that the securing nuts may become loose. This can result in the drag link rod detaching from the spindle arm or the pitman arm.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the torque of the securing nuts. If found to be incorrect then replace the drag link.

ONE OR MORE AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
It has been identified by the manufacturer that the air-bag initiator does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bags with a new quality assured component.
