REAR AXLES MAY LEAK OIL
Due to incorrect welding an axle casing seam may crack and leak oil. In extreme case the axle casing may fail.
On affected vehicles replace the axle casing.
FRONT SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER COULD MALFUNCTION DURING DEPLOYMENT
Due to a potential non-conformity in the supplier's production process the front seat belt pretensioner could malfunction and the front seat belt pretensioner may not function as intended in the event of a deployment. The locking mechanism operates independently from the pretensioner therefore locking mechanism functionality is still guaranteed.
Fit new seat belt assembly to either the driver or passenger front seat or both. The seat belt assembly to be replaced will be determined on the vehicle VIN/ chassis number which will be checked against a list to ensure the correct operation carried out.
REAR AXLES MAY LEAK OIL
Due to incorrect welding an axle casing seam may crack and leak oil. In extreme case the axle casing may fail.
On affected vehicles replace the axle casing.
ABNORMAL DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger�airbag�inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant This could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger�airbag�to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant.
On affected vehicles replace the airbag with a new assembly.
REAR WHEEL BEARING HOUSINGS MAY BE INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY
The hardening process for the rear wheel bearing housings may not have been correctly performed. In the worst case this could lead to a fractured housing. Should a fractured housing occur there would be abnormal noises bad tyre wear and a theoretical possibility of wheel loss.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right and left rear wheel bearing housings.

RISK OF DEGRADATION TO THE FRONT LEFT SUB AXLE CARRIER
Depending on driving style and road profile there is a risk of degradation of the front left sub axle carrier.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and checking the front left stub axle carrier casting number Where necessary replace the stub axle carrier.
REAR WHEEL BEARING HOUSINGS MAY BE INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY
The hardening process for the rear wheel bearing housings may not have been correctly performed. In the worst case this could lead to a fractured housing. Should a fractured housing occur there would be abnormal noises bad tyre wear and a theoretical possibility of wheel loss.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right and left rear wheel bearing housings.
STARTER MOTOR HEATSHIELD MAY BREAK OFF AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
The brackets retaining the heat shield of the starter motor may fail and allow the heat shield to fall on and chafe through the B+ cable. If left there is a theoretical risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the starter motor heat shield. Additionally the exhaust pipe will be inspected for signs of cracks on flange facing turbo outlet and the gasket will be replaced.
FRONT AND SIDE PLASTIC COVERS OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF MAY NOT BE BONDED TO SPECIFICATION
The bonding retaining front and side plastic covers on the sunroof may not meet specification. As a result these could detach whilst the vehicle is in motion.
On affected vehicles check trims and where necessary re-bond trims.
REAR RIGHT WHEEL ARCH PROTECTOR MAY DEFORM AND RUB AGAINST AND DAMAGE BRAKE HOSE
In conditions such as high speed and high vehicle loading the rear right wheel arch protector may contact the brake hose. Over time repeated contact could wear through the outer protective cover of the brake hose. This could damage the inner reinforcing braiding and in an extreme case wear a hole in the hose which could lead to brake fluid leakage.
On affected vehicles re-work the rear wheel arch protector and if necessary replace the brake pipe with new.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK
Due to a software issue the Instrument cluster may intermittently go blank.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the latest software installed/downloaded.

RUBBER DIESEL FUEL FEED PIPE MAY HARDEN OR CRACK
The diesel fuel feed pipe that supplies fuel to the high pressure pump may deteriorate prematurely. The customer may initially notice the smell of diesel fuel leaking onto the engine. If the concern is not resolved the rubber hose may harden and crack due to fatigue. This in turn could allow the pipe to leak diesel fuel onto the engine. As with all fuel leaks there is a risk of catching fire.
Recall the 24 vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel feed hose.
AXLE MOUNTING MAY BREAK
Under extreme starting conditions (such as full throttle) on wet road surfaces AND with repeated short term rear wheel spin strong torque peaks in the powertrain may occur.This may cause an axle mounting flange to break and possible loss of drive.
On affected vehicles update the ESP and chassis control units.
SEATBELT PRETENSIONER MAY NOT OPERATE
Due to a deviation in the suppliers production process a specific squib batch may not comply with specifications In the event of an accident during which the left hand seat belt tensioner in the rear is activated the belt may not fully retrain the occupant.
On affected vehicles replace the left rear seat belt with a correct version.
DIESEL FILTER MAY DETACH FROM ITS HOLDER
The strap of the diesel filter may brake causing the diesel filter to disconcert from its holder. Possibility of a noise in the engine compartment and in extreme cases fuel leakage.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the diesel filter strap. The filter strap will be replaced if necessary.
VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY UPDATED
The vehicles electronic control unit (ECU) may have been incorrectly updated. This may affect the operation of systems controlled by the ECU
On affected vehicles update the software of the control unit

REAR HUB CARRIERS NOT MANUFACTURED TO CORRECT STANDARD
The hardening process for the rear wheel bearing housings may not have been correctly performed. In the worst case this could lead to a fractured housing. Should a fractured housing occur there would be abnormal noises bad tyre wear and a theoretical possibility of wheel loss.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right and left rear wheel bearing housings.
REAR WHEEL BEARING HOUSINGS MAY BE INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY
The hardening process for the rear wheel bearing housings may not have been correctly performed. In the worst case this could lead to a fractured housing. Should a fractured housing occur there would be abnormal noises bad tyre wear and a theoretical possibility of wheel loss.
Recall the 420 vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right and left rear wheel bearing housings.
DEVIATION IN ENGINE CONTROL UNIT SOFTWARE
The engine control unit may not have the correct software. This may affect power and emissions outputs.
On affected vehicles update the control unit with the correct software.
