    AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY

    Defect

    The propellant used in the subject 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 causing severe injury to the rider and / or in worst cases a fatality.

    Remedy

    Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag.

    DOOR LOCK MAY FAIL TO RELEASE

    Defect

    Following an accident the forces required for releasing the door may be increased. The cable between the inner door handle and the door lock not being to specification may not be able to withstand these increased forces leaving the door unable to be opened from the inside. This may increase the risk of injury. Unlocking the door via the outer door handle is not affected.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a quality assured cable between the inner door handle and door lock on all four doors.

    INCORRECT DRIVESHAFT MAY DETACH

    Defect

    A number of vehicles specified with automatic transmissions may have been fitted with the incorrect specification rear driveshaft. The incorrect driveshaft length is shorter. The driver may experience underbody noise and/or notice an oil leak. In extreme cases the driveshaft may detach from the differential and as a result the vehicle would lose drive which can increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check if the correct driveshaft is fitted. If not already fitted fit the correct driveshaft.

    PLUG IN CONTACT CABLE MAY MALFUNCTION

    Defect

    It is possible that the connection between the B+ cable and the Power Distribution Box can become damaged by wear and heat which is caused by high current flow and high contact resistance. Normally this will result in a non-start situation after parking the vehicle. However it is possible that this could in extreme cases occur whilst the vehicle is in motion. The driver should be made aware of the issue by flickering of the instrument cluster (dash) or an engine mis-fire; but if the driver does not then the engine could cut-out without warning.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles with petrol engines and replace the cable/connection with a more robust item.
