Showing 7551–7575 of 15,570 recalls.
STEERING COLUMN JOINT MAY NOT BE SECURE
The Steering column may become detached from the rack due to incorrectly tightened bolt.
On affected vehicles check for presence of retaining nut. If present tighten nut to specified torque. If nut is absent replace bolt and screw and tighten to specified torque. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE
REAR SPOILER MAY BE INSECURE
The rear spoiler may not have been properly attached Wind noise and deformation of the spoiler may occur. Continued use may cause the spoiler to detach.
On affected vehicles inspect the attachment of the spoiler and where necessary install new fixings.
Passenger Airbag inflator
The front passenger airbag inflator (PAB) may contain propellant that could possibly degrade over a period of time. This may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed which may result in injury to vehicle occupants in the event of a deployment event.
On affected vehicles replace the inflator assembly.
CASTING DEFECT MAY CAUSE ALLOY WHEEL(S) TO CRACK
A small batch of alloy wheels may have a casting defect that may initiate a fatigue crack and result in wheel failure.
Check wheels on affected vehicles for a specific batch code. Replace those wheels which have the identified batch code.
FRONT BRAKE DISCS MAY NOT BE CORRECT THICKNESS
The front brake discs may not meet the required thickness dimension. Under extreme loads this could cause cracking which may lead to fractures.
The front discs on affected vehicles will be checked for conformity and where necessary they will be replaced.
AIR CONDITIONING MAY FAIL TO DE-MIST INTERIOR WINDOWS
The air inlet door linkages to the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning may detach become detached and depending on operating mode position cause unexpected severe condensation/fogging of the interior windows. At temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius where the linkage detaches in recirculation mode it may not be able to clear condensation/fog from the inside of the front windscreen or other windows which can restrict the driver�s field of vision and could lead to an increased risk of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the latest software to the vehicle. Additionally the actuator arm will be replaced.

INTERCOOLER SLEEVE MAY DETACH FROM THE THROTTLE BODY
The intercooler sleeve may detach from the throttle body. The engine management warning light will illuminate and a loss of power may occur.
On affected vehicles replace the current retainer with a new version to ensure the sleeve connection between intercooler sleeve and throttle body.
ROLL BAR CONFIGURATION DOES NOT MEET LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
On AMG- GT R vehicles fitted with Track package the combination of Sport Seat and Rollbar does not meet requirements. In the rearmost postion it is possibel the seat headretraint could contact the roll bar.
On affected vehicles replace the Rollbar
BRAKE SERVO MAY FAIL
Affected vehicles may have been fitted with a brake booster which may have a faulty diaphragm plate. This could lead to a loss of brake servo assistance.
An affected brake booster can be identified by its date of manufacture. This can be found on a label on the brake booster. An affected brake booster must be removed and replaced a new one.
DRIVE CHAIN MAY STRETCH COME OFF OR BREAK
When upshifting between first and second gear if the rider fails to engage second gear a neutral condition will exist continued opening of the throttle will cause high engine RPM. If the rider shifts in to second gear without disengaging the clutch under the very high RPM condition an excess load can be applied to the powertrain. This could cause the drive chain to stretch and in the worst case the drive chain could come off or break.
Replace ECM. Inspect drive chain if free play is detected replace drive chain assembly.
WIRING TO ELECTRICAL LOOMS MAY BECOME DAMAGED
On Wrightbus StreetLite (Micro Hybrid) vehicles that are fitted with electric cooling pack fans it is possible the electrical looms (cooling pack fan harness power cable and body harness looms) and the compressor delivery line hose may chafe on bodywork within the engine bay. This may affect the cooling fan operation and could lead to engine overheating or in extreme cases an outbreak of fire.
On affected vehicles check condition and routing of affected looms. Where necessary repair and re-route looms according to manufacturer's instructions.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED IN A COLLISION
The calibration of the Restraints control Module does not provide the correct fire signals in the event of a collision. In the event of a collision the supplementary Restraint System may not provide the level of protection required to the driver and front passenger and front seat occupants leading to an increased risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the correct software to the vehicle.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.

BATTERY MAY FAIL TO CHARGE WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO STALL AND LIGHTS TO FADE
Due to incorrect software in the Engine Control Module (ECM) the ENG A-STOP (Engine Auto Stop Start System) OFF light may blink & the ENG A-STOP system may become inoperative. If the car is driven continuously in this condition the lead-acid battery will not be charged. In the worst case there is a possibility that the lights will dim and the engine may stall and not restart due to low battery voltage.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and reprogramme the ECM with corrected software.

BRAKE AND/OR CLUTCH SYSTEM COMPONENTS MAY BECOME DAMAGED BY MINERAL OIL
The brake/clutch system components may be damaged and system performance may decay as a result of the potential presence of mineral oil in the brake-clutch fluid because the components are not compatible with mineral oil. As a result brake/clutch system performance may deteriorate.
Replace the components in the brake-clutch system.
