STARTER MOTOR MAY MALFUNCTION AND OVERHEAT
On vehicles with diesel engines and stop/start system the starter motor may be permanently activated because the return spring in the solenoid switch is bent or broken. If the permanent current supply to the starter motor is not noticed overheating of the component with local scorching damage and a vehicle fire is possible.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the solenoid switch.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTION ON BIKES FITTED WITH ABS
If the brake fluid has not been changed as per manufacturer's instructions deposits may form which may affect the operation of the ABS module. Continued use may lead to loss of braking.
On affected vehicles flush the brake systems and replace with an uprated specification fluid.

FUEL FILTER SUPPORT MAY BREAK
The fuel filter support bracket may crack and the fuel filter could become insecure As a result the fuel filter and or fuel tube may leak.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel filter support bracket Check condition of filter and fuel tube. Replace if necessary
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY DISPLAY INCORRECT INFORMATION
Due to a nonconformity in the production process the instrument cluster may stick and display incorrect speed information.
On affected vehicles replace the instrument cluster.
AIRBAG INFLATOR BODY MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT
In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. As a result the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing severe injury to the rider.
On affected machines replace the airbag assembly.
PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The propellant used in certain air bag inflators may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. The excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material possibly causing severe injury to the vehicle occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag inflator unit.

BONDING OF THE WINDSHIELD MAY BE INADEQUATE
The bonding of the windshield in the lower area may not correspond to the specification. During a collision the bonding may fail and the windscreen may detach. This could have an adverse affect on the effectiveness of the passenger airbag.
On affected vehicles check bonding and if necessary replace windscreen.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER SUPPORT BRACKET MAY BE INSECURE
The screws retaining the catalytic converter bracket on the engine bracket may have an incorrect clench. This could lead to vibration and cause the exhaust to crack.
On affected vehicles check screws according to manufacturer's procedures..Depending on findings either replace screws or refer to manufacturer for further guidance

On affected vehicles check bonding and if necessary replace windscreen.
DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL MAY DETACH
The bonding on the panelling under driver's window may be incorrect and the panel could detach.
On affected vehicles replace the panel with a correctly bonded version.
AUXILLIARY HEATER ELEMENT IN AIR CONDITIONING MAY FAIL AND/OR OVERHEAT
The auxiliary heater element in the air conditioner may fail as the result of overheating in the area of the connectors. This can lead to smoulder damage or potentially a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and change the auxiliary heater element for one with optimised electrical connectors.
DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM MAY MALFUNCTION IN HOT TEMPERATURES
The locking mechanism in the door latch assembly may not operate properly in high temperatures. As a result the door may latch correctly and may unintentionally open whilst driving.
A modified assembly is available and depending on vehicle identification number the remedy is to replace either both O/S door latches or on all four doors.
ECU RELAY MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE ECU TO MALFUNCTION
The engine Electronic Control Unit Relay may overheat and fail. This could interrupt power supply to the engine and will cause the engine malfunction warning lamp to illuminate. The engine may stall and may not restart.
On affected vehicles the engine ECU power relay will be replaced with a new relay.

FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel tank shield may foul the fuel supply pipes. Over a period of time this may cause a fuel leak.
On affected vehicles check condition of fuel pipes and replace where necessary. In addition add extra protection to existing and replacement pipes.
