BRAKE SERVO MAY BE INSECURE
The tightening torque of one of the nuts of the connection between the brake servo unit and the brake pedal may be not correct to specification. This may allow air to enter the servo
Check servo security and where necessary replace the brake servo unit
REDUCTION IN BRAKING EFFORT DUE TO AIR IN THE SERVO
The bolts retaining the front shock absorber could come loose. This may adversely affect the steering control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the front shock absorber retaining bolts.
MALFUNCTIONS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
It has been identified that some ground connections of the cabin wiring harness and the fixings of the airbag control unit may not be to specification. This issue or non-compliance could cause erratic malfunctions of certain electrical equipment even in very rare cases causing the engine to cut-off or airbags malfunction.
Recall all affected vehicles to check tightness of the ground connections and airbag control unit fixings. If required these will need rectification.

Check servo security and where necessary replace the brake servo unit
UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
On the affected vehicles a possible nonconformity of certain seals on the vehicle�s body could lead to water ingress in the passenger compartment. This may affect the operation of the passenger air bag. Unintended deployment is possible.
On affected vehicles add extra sealant and replace wet or water damaged components.
FUEL MAY LEAK AROUND FUEL FILLER NECK
It has been identified that the fuel filler neck assembly may not have been correctly installed at production. This can therefore result in a fuel leak from around the fuel filler area if the fuel tank is filled to maxumum or can fuel leak if the vehicle rolls over..
Recall all affected vehicles to check fuel filler neck and rework/rectify if required.
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER MAY MALFUNCTION
The driver side front seat belt pre-tensioner cable could separate during deployment leaving the driver inadequately restrained in a collision which increases the risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new driver side front seat belt assembly.
REDUCTION IN BRAKING EFFORT DUE TO AIR IN THE SERVO
The tightening torque of one of the nuts of the connection between the brake servo unit and the brake pedal may be not correct to specification. This may allow air to enter the servo
Check servo security and where necessary replace the brake servo unit
WHEEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the wheel bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. The driver may experience a vibration through the steering wheel. However it not rectified there is a risk that the wheels may become damaged over time or the wheel could in extreme cases could detach from the vehicle whilst driving. This could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the tightness of the road wheel bolts and rectify as necessary. In certain cases the replacement of the bolt(s) and wheel(s) may be necessary.

UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
On the affected vehicles a possible nonconformity of certain seals on the vehicle�s body could lead to water ingress in the passenger compartment. This may affect the operation of the passenger air bag. Unintended deployment is possible.
On affected vehicles add extra sealant and replace wet or water damaged components.
FUEL MAY LEAK
On the affected vehicles a possible non-conformity in the positioning of the fuel filler neck seal near the filler cap could cause a fuel leak when completely filling up the tank.
Checking and if necessary refit seal.
AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION
It has been identified that the density of the propellant within the airbag inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this condition the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of the airbag deployment allowing the inner pressure of the inflator to increase abnormally resulting in the breakage of the inflator case. In this condition the airbags will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact as the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the driver and/or front seat passenger.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver and passenger front airbag inflators with modified units.
MALFUNCTIONS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
It has been identified that some ground connections of the cabin wiring harness and the fixings of the airbag control unit may not be to specification. This issue or non-compliance could cause erratic malfunctions of certain electrical equipment even in very rare cases causing the engine to cut-off or airbags malfunction.

On affected vehicles add extra sealant and replace wet or water damaged components.
STEERING BOLTS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED CORRECTLY
Incorrect assembly of the steering rack which could cause the loss of the mechanical link between the steering pinion valve and the steering rack during parking manoeuvres at full lock.
Check affected vehicles and where necessary replace the steering rack.
STEERING BOLTS MAY BE TIGHTENED INCORRECTLY
Incorrect assembly of the steering rack which could cause the loss of the mechanical link between the steering pinion valve and the steering rack during parking manoeuvres at full lock.

AIRBAG/BELT TENSIONERS MAY NOT TRIGGER IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT
Due to an error in the manufacturing process the air bag and/or seat belt pretensioner may not trigger in the event of a collision
On affected vehicles replace air bag assembly and seta belt pretensioner where necessary.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING SUPPORT
It has been identified that the pins within the electric power assisted steering control unit may not have been contact welded correctly. This can result in an open circuit which will lead to a loss of power steering assistance and possible loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace electric power assisted steering.
AIRBAG/BELT TENSIONERS MAY NOT TRIGGER IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT
Due to an error in the manufacturing process the air bag and/or seat belt pretensioner may not trigger in the event of a collision
On affected vehicles replace air bag assembly and seta belt pretensioner where necessary.
ALTERNATOR MAY OVERHEAT
It has been identified that during production the temperature sensors for the alternator have been installed/located in the wrong position. This can result in the driver not receiving an early warning of the alternator overheating.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the location of all the temperature sensors for the alternator and if found incorrectly positioned reposition them as per the technical service instruction including checking of the alienator bearings/friction.
