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.
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.

FUEL INJECTION PIPES MAY BECOME INSECURE
The screws retaining the fuel collection pipe(s) may shear under stress. This may allow the pipe(s) to separate from the injector(s) and cause fuel to leak.
On affected vehicle replace the collection pipes' securing screws
LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID
Unions on certain brake pipes may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may allow fluid to escape and affect the braking efficiency.
On affected vehicles check pipe unions and brake fluid level. Tighten unions and adjust fluid level where necessary.

On affected vehicle replace the collection pipes' securing screws
BRAKES MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED
It has been identified that the Central Brake Unit and Rear Axle Modulator units may not function as intended. This can cause a higher braking retardation or quicker braking than anticipated. This can result in the vehicle stopping quicker that expected.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the production dates of the Central Brake Unit and Rear Axle Modulator units and change the units if found to be within the affected production range.
FRONT AND/OR REAR AXLE BOLTS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED CORRECTLY
The front and/or rear axle mounting bolts may not be tightened to the correct specification. The bolts may break and could affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the front and rear axle carrier bolts.
FRONT AND/OR REAR AXLE BOLTS MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED CORRECTLY
The front and/or rear axle mounting bolts may not be tightened to the correct specification. The bolts may break and could affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the front and rear axle carrier bolts.
SIDE BOARD MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the side 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 safety reinforcement brackets to the side raves of the body.
STEERING RACK MAY FRACTURE
Due to a manufacturing process deviation the toothed rack of the steering gear might break under extensive force application i.e. when manoeuvring at slow speed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the build date of the steering rack. Where the steering rack is proved to be from the affected batch the steering rack will be replaced.

FUEL HOSE MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a fuel hose may not have been produced to specification. This can cause a fuel leak which is not rectified could in the worst case scenario result in a fire.
Recall all affected machines to replace the affected fuel hose.
STEERING COLUMN MAY FRACTURE
Certain Citan vehicles may have cracks on the steering column tube due to a manufacturing fault.
On affected vehicles replace the steering column/power steering motor assembly.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
There is the possibility of water penetration into the vent hose resulting in water ingress into the vacuum pump over the wire harness and into the relay box. In the worst case a short circuit may lead to a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles add a spray deflector to avoid water ingress into the vent hose replace the electronic vacuum pump/relay box assembly and apply special grease to the electrical terminals.
STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED
A number of steering spindles may have been fitted that are not to specification. In the worst case the result could be loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are possibly affected to check the dimensions of the steering spindle and where it is found to be out of specification replace the steering spindle.
STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED

Recall the vehicles that are possibly affected to check the dimensions of the steering spindle and where it is found to be out of specification replace the steering spindle.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the underfloor mounted diesel fuel cooler may not have been manufactured to specification. This can result in fuel leak. The driver will become aware of the issue by either a smell of fuel pooling of fuel under the vehicle when stationary or by an increase in fuel consumption. Where a leak is present pooling can occur on the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users and increase the risk of a crash. In extreme circumstances the pooling of fuel underneath the vehicle could in the presence of an ignition source lead to a fire.
Recall all affected vehicle to have the diesel fuel cooler replace with a new quality assured cooler.
THROTTLE MAY NOT ACT AS INTENDED
The waterproof boots for the throttle cable may not be manufactured to specification. The boots may deteriorate and allow water ingress. The water could freeze in low ambient temperatures causing the throttle not to perform as intended.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle cable
