FAULTY CONTROL UNIT MAY CAUSE VEHICLE TO PERFORM OUTSIDE SPECIFICATION
Where a control unit coding was updated in a workshop between 3 December 2016 and 5 December 2016 the coding may not correspond to the specification and may trigger unplanned action in the vehicle. The safety and emissions systems may not react as design intent.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software in the corresponding control units.

PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT RELEASE CORRECTLY
An improperly manufactured internal caliper gear may fail. This may cause the EPB not to release and in some circumstances not to apply. An EPB warning light and message should appear.
On affected vehicles replace the brake caliper.

HANDLEBAR MOUNTING/S MAY DETACH
The lower handlebar holder may have been manufactured with improper painting instruction and thread locking agent may not have been adequately applied to the stud bolt thread of the lower handlebar holder. Due to this the stud bolt may loosen and fall off from engine vibration resulting in loss of control.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the lower handlebar holders with the countermeasure parts.

AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
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.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag.
DOOR LOCK MAY FAIL TO RELEASE
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.
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
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.
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.
DRIVESHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY BREAK
Due to insufficient strength the front universal joint in the rear front universal joint of the rear prop shaft may fail.
On affected vehicle replace the universal joint with a modified version

FILTER MAY LEAK
Due to contamination during the production process the fuel filter may leak.
Contact those supplied with the filter and provide a replacement.
DRIVESHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY BREAK
Due to insufficient strength the front universal joint in the rear front universal joint of the rear prop shaft may fail.
On affected vehicle replace the universal joint with a modified version

ELECTRIC FUEL CELL SYSTEM MAY STOP RUNNING
Under unique driving conditions such as if the accelerator pedal is depressed to the wide open throttle position after driving on a long descent with the use of cruise control there is a possibility that Fuel Cell system may malfunction.
On affected vehicles update the control software of Fuel Cell Boost control module.
DRIVESHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY BREAK
Due to insufficient strength the front universal joint in the rear front universal joint of the rear prop shaft may fail.
On affected vehicle replace the universal joint with a modified version
PLUG IN CONTACT CABLE MAY MALFUNCTION
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.
Recall all affected vehicles with petrol engines and replace the cable/connection with a more robust item.
