PRE-HEAT RELAY MAY STICK AND OVERHEAT
The pre-heat relay may become stuck in the closed position which could cause an over heating of the relay. If action is not taken to rectify this issue then there is the potential in extreme cases that the risk of fire could occur.
Recall all affected vehicles and disconnect the relay.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the main switch can crack which can cause an electrical short circuit.
Recalled vehicles will have initially had the subject switch disconnected. However an exchange switch has now been mae availagble to all customers who require it and will be fitted free of charge.
