REAR BRAKE HOSE MAY BE INCORRECTLY ROUTED
The rear brake hose could be incorrectly routed and chafe against other components. This condition could lead to the brake hose leaking fluid and the loss of performance at the rear brake.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check and reroute or replace the rear brake hose as necessary.
UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
There is a possibility that water could enter the cabin through the panels separating the cabin and the engine compartment. If this occurs water could reach and affect some electrical components such as the airbag module and possibly cause unexpected airbag deployment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and apply sealant to close the gap between the affected body panels.
LOSS OF BRAKING ASSISTANCE
It has been identified there is a possibility one of the nuts fixing the brake pedal to the brake booster may not have been tightened to the correct specification. This could result in the brake booster opening without warning and causing a sudden loss of brake assistance.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the torque setting of the nuts fixing the brake pedal to the brake booster. If found not to be within specification then the brake booster will be replaced and the new nuts will be tightened to the correct specification.
WHEEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified there is a possibility that the bolt(s) securing the road wheel(s) may not have been tightened to the correct specification. This could result a risk that the road wheel rim(s) may crack/fracture over time or the wheel could detach from the vehicle which could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the wheel bolts have been tightened to the correct specification and if required replace any damaged/defective wheel rim(s).
DRIVER MAY BE UNABLE TO CHANGE / SELECT GEAR
Due to insufficient strength of the gear shift rear shaft it could break off during use.
On affected vehicles replace the gear shift rear shaft
STEERING BOLTS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED CORRECTLY
There is a possibility that the bolts holding the steering valve on the steering rack are missing or have not been correctly tightened. This may affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles check the steering rack and replace if found to be defective.
VARIOUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS
Some ground cable eyelets and/or the fixation of the airbag control unit may not have been tightened correctly. As a result there is a risk of various electrical malfunctions e.g. engine stall fire hazard and airbag malfunction.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the condition of the ground cables and replace them if necessary. Then the various fixations will be checked and tightened if needed.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS MAY BE DEACTIVATED
The seat occupancy detector system may not be to the correct standard and the passenger's airbags may be deactivated
On affected vehicle replace the sensor mat.
FUEL MAY LEAK IF VEHICLE ROLLS OVER
The seal between the fuel cap and fuel tank filler neck may not be installed correctly. As a result there is a risk of fuel leakage during driving or in case of vehicle rollover. This is a non-compliance to regulation for rollover protection.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and remove and re-install the seal or install a new seal in case one is missing.
FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that the bolts between the front shock absorber and knuckle have not been properly tightened. This may lead to breakage of the connection between the front shock absorber and the knuckle.
On affected vehicles install new bolts between the front shock absorber and knuckle and tighten them to the correct torque and where necessary replace damaged component
SIDEBOARD OR TAILBOARD MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the side board/tail board hinges may fail. This could result in the detachment of the side board whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Recall all affected vehicles to install additional safety reinforcement brackets to the side boards/tail board of the body and check the existng hinges and repair if necessary.

FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
A front seat side air bag may not deploy as intended
On affected vehicles replace the airbag module assembly
SUSPENSION MAY BECOME INSECURE
The longitudinal control arm of the rear axle may not be correctly fastened. This may cause the arm to break and/or detach.
On affected vehicles check the torque of the screw connection on the longitudinal rod and replace nuts bolts or rear axle where necessary.
FAULTY SPLINE ON UNIVERAL JOINT OF STEERING SPINDLE
A spline on the universal joint of the steering spindle has been machined incorrectly. It is possible for the steering column to slip on the spline so that directional control is adversely affected.
