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.

ENGINE HATCH MAY SHOW CLOSED IN ERROR ENABLING ENGINE TO BE STARTED
It has been identified that due to corrosion the engine hatch switches may become stuck in closed or compressed position. This will indicate that the hatch is closed regardless of whether the hatch is in the open or closed position. In this condition the engine can be started with the hatch in the open position. This will therefore pose a risk of injury to any maintenance staff working in the engine compartment.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the current switches with new roller type switches.
ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
The Soft Ware applied during manufacture was incorrect for Medium Duty Engines. All heat temperature sensors are affected and are not functioning. The Heat Sensor function is lost and there is no warning to driver if temperature reaches specified limit. If the driver does not stop the vehicle as it starts to overheat it is possible for the engine to seize.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download updated software.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
Due to exposure of water and dirt intrusion in the engine compartment the alternators may fail prematurely due to seized bearings. In the worst case the alternators could overheat causing an engine compartment fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the alternators with new improved versions equipped with protection washers on front and rear bearing. Update engine encapsulation and exchange the alternator protective shield to reduce the amount of dirt and water entering the engine compartment.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
It has been identified that there is the possibility of a risk of an internal electrical short circuit in some cab interior lamps. In the worst situation this could result in a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles to fit additional fuses into the system.
SEATBELT MAY SEPARATE FROM THE BUCKLE
It has been identified there is a possibility the front seatbelt buckle stud may not have been punched correctly during production. This may result in a separation between the buckle and seatbelt bracket if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the seatbelt buckle and if required to replace the seatbelt buckle.

COOLANT LEAKAGE MAY RESULT IN A FIRE
It has been identified that during the engine warm-up process and under certain driving/climate conditions for instance periods of high acceleration or high engine load immediately after a cold start in cold climates there is the possibility for coolant leakage or oil seepage. This can lead to the possibility in a worst-case scenario of smoke or a slow developing fire in the engine compartment. However the driver will receive a warning message on the Driver�s Information Module indicating a low coolant level.
Recall all affected vehicles to modify the coolant bypass valve and install a new exhaust manifold gasket.

SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
A potential chafing condition has been identified between the alternator power cables and P-clamp. If chaffing occurs it may result in a short circuit. This could lead to initially some flickering of certain Malfunction Indicator Lamps on the instrument display. If the concern is not corrected it is possible for a fire to occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the current P-clamp with a more robust clamp and secured with additional rubber protection in two locations. If serious cable chafing is identified (insulation worn through) the cable should be replaced.
EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM MAY FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING
The Automatic Emergency Brake System (AEBS) may in certain traffic situations activate itself
Update the AEBS software

STEERING MAY FAIL
On retrofit Low Entry Cab the steering limiter valve does not offload the system pressure correctly. This may cause high stress/forces on the link rod adjusting sleeve and ball joint which could lead to damaged or broken parts. This may lead to loss of steering
On affected vehicles the pressure limiting valves are to be replaced and adjusted (this is a mandatory operation). The steering link rod should be checked and replaced if there is any sign of stress
