DRIVERS AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
On some of the vehicles affected by this recall the driver's air bag inflator may rupture during deployment. Metal shards may pass through the air bag material and cause injury to occupants.
On affected vehicles the air bag inflator will be checked and if necessary replaced.
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.
GEARBOX ACTUATOR AY NOT BE TO SPECTIFICATION
A component in the gearbox actuator may not be to the correct specification which may affect gear selection.

INCORRECT OIL PAN FITTED
It has been established that on certain vehicles fitted with an MDE5 engine they may have been delivered with a lower volume oil pan during production. There is a risk of the sump being overfilled with oil. This could result in either the engine suffering a runaway due to it consuming its own oil or the Catalytic Converter can be contaminated which will affect the exhaust emissions.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the oil pan and dip stick also to update the Engine Management System (EMS) software.

CHILD LOCK MAY DEACTIVATE
The rear door child locks may deactivate when a door is slammed. There will be no warning that the child lock has gone from active to inactive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the door child locks are to specification. If they are not they are to be replaced with ones that are to specification.
CLUTCH MAY NOT ENGAGE FULLY
In certain acceleration cases the automatic gearbox software does not engage the clutch fully and therefore the driver could experience a loss of drive and/or engine judder. The gearbox overheating warning light may also be displayed and there is a risk of loss of acceleration and or engine jerk.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software for the automatic gearbox.
VENTILATION LINE MAY RUB AGAINST POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE
Due to inappropriate routing the ventilation line might rub against the battery positive cable which can cause a leakage over time. If leakage occurs fuel vapours will enter the engine compartment causing the risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fuel tank ventilation line. If damaged the ventilation line will be replaced. In all cases an additional clip will be attached between the tank ventilation line and the battery positive cable.
STEERING POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
Due to a poor earth connection steering power assistance may by lost.
On affected vehicles check the earth connection. Where necessary remove clean and reconnect the earth cable.
SPOILER MAY DETACH
The bonding of the tailgate spoiler may not conform to specification. This could lead to a lack of adhesion and detachment of the spoiler
On affected vehicles replace the rear spoiler
FUEL FILTER/ACCUMULATOR MAY CRACK
It has been identified that the fuel filter/accumulator installed on the engine may crack causing the element to break which will ultimately resulting in fuel leakage. The issue can be identified to the driver by noticing fuel leaking onto the road surface under the vehicle plus the driver may find it difficult to start the engine.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the fuel filter/accumulator with a new enhanced unit.
WIRING HARNESS MAY BE DAMAGED
It has been identified that the cab wiring harness can come in contact with a support bracket within the cab which can cause chaffing damage. This can result in either the engine cutting out and/or the wiper motor suddenly stopping.
Recall all affected vehicles to fit additional protection to the edge of support bracket and to inspection for damage to the wiring harness. If found damaged then repair as necessary and fit an additional vinyl protection sleeve to the harness.
EXHAUST EMISSION CRITERIA IS NOT MET
It has been identified that an issue with the engine software may affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions and an issue with the regenerations of the SCR brick.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the engine software.
AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION
It has been identified that due to corrosion there maybe a malfunction of the power supply within the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module. This could result in either an illuminated airbag warning lamp with the possibility of no airbag deployment in a crash necessitating airbag deployment or an inadvertent airbag deployment without an illuminated airbag warning lamp. Either of these conditions could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Recall all affected vehicle to replace the Occupant Restraint Control module.
SIDE WINDOW AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY
The left and right side window airbags were manufactured with incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiators that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a non-deployment of the window airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the left right or both window airbags as instructed on all involved vehicles.
