AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
A recess on the inside of the fascia panel may not have been correctly machined . This recess affects the deployment of the front passenger's air bag and it may not deploy as intended.
On affected vehicles replace fascia panel.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAY NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED
It is possible for the automatic transmission to shift from 6th to 1st due to an incorrect signal from the output speed sensor. The unintended down shift will cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction.
On affected vehicles carry out a TCM recalibration
VEHICLE CAN MOVE AWAY AFTER DRIVER HAS EXITED
It has been identified that the gearshift lever resting position may mislead drivers into believing the vehicle's transmission is in the park position when actually the it is still in a drive gear. This could result in the vehicle moving off without the driver being in the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver's door lock and update the software to introduce a drive away inhibition strategy.

BRAKE PEDAL MAY FRACTURE
On some units there is a possibility that the brake pedal has incorrect welding penetration between the arm and the foot support. In this condition the brake pedal may break when a breaking force is applied.
On affected machines replace the brake pedal assembly with a modified assembly.
REAR AXLE SUSPENSION MAY BECOME INSECURE
Rear leaf spring retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification.
On affected vehicles check spring hangers and replace as required.
DRAG LINK JOINTS MAY BE INCORRECTLY TORQUED
It has been identified that the drag link rod ball joints and/or at the link rod clamp may not have been torqued to the correct specification. It is therefore possible that the securing nuts may become loose. This can result in the drag link rod detaching from the spindle arm or the pitman arm.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the torque of the securing nuts. If found to be incorrect then replace the drag link.

Recall all affected vehicles and check the torque of the securing nuts. If found to be incorrect then replace the drag link.
REAR AXLE SUSPENSION MAY BECOME INSECURE
Rear leaf spring retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct specification.
On affected vehicles check spring hangers and replace as required.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The side stand pivot retaining nut may become loose and in turn the side stand pivot may become loose. This could promote 3 scenarios: 1. With side stand up the engine stops with the bike at a standstill when engaging gear. 2. With side stand down the could still be ridden or 3. The engine could stop while riding (side stand up)
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and fit a redesigned pivot bolt to a modified torque setting.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing error at the airbag manufacturer the chemical composition of the initiator (the compound that triggers the airbag deployment) of a limited number of passenger airbag inflators may not be to specification. Therefore it is possible that an affected airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident.
Recall all affected vehicles to have the affected airbags replace with a new quality assured component.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identificed that there is a software errors in the Digital Motor Electronics-E engine control unit which can cause a faulty setting of the idle controller. This can result in the engine cutting out stopping or stalling when the engine is at idle speed and declutched. With any mechanical faults within the engine it can increase the potential for the engine to cut out stopping or stalling. This can therefore place the rider at risk under certain riding conditions or situations.
Recall all affected machines to install new updated software.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing error at the airbag manufacturer the chemical composition of the initiator (the compound that triggers the airbag deployment) of a limited number of passenger airbag inflators may not be to specification. Therefore it is possible that an affected airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident.
Recall all affected vehicles to have the affected airbags replace with a new quality assured component.
SHOCK ABSORBER MAY FAIL CAUSING FRONT WHEEL TO RUB ON WHEEL ARCH
There is a possibility that the front shock absorbers could fail due to cracking around the lower shock absorber bush. This may cause the wheel/tyre to rub the wheel arch.
On affected vehicles replace both front shock absorbers.
SHOCK ABSORBER MAY FAIL CAUSING FRONT WHEEL TO RUB ON WHEEL ARCH
There is a possibility that the front shock absorbers could fail due to cracking around the lower shock absorber bush. This may cause the wheel/tyre to rub the wheel arch.
On affected vehicles replace both front shock absorbers.
ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
It has been identified that the engine wiring harness of the 2.0ltr engined vehicles fitted with automatic transmission may have been incorrectly routed which may allow the wiring harness to contact the water charge air cooler bracket. Engine vibration can cause a chaffing condition where the outer sheathing of the cable can wear through and expose the wires of the engine harness. Depending on the orientation of the wires within the harness then damage to wires can result in electrical arcing and a short circuit. This condition can also result in the illumination of a warning light on the instrument panel loss of the electronic steering system engine cut out without warning melting of the cable sheathing and surrounding parts. Also in extreme circumstances it can cause an under-bonnet fire.
All affected vehicles will be recalled to inspect the clearance between the engine harness and water charge air cooler bracket. If the clearance is not to the correct specification the wiring harness will be repositioned and secured to ensure the specified clearance is achieved. If the engine harness shows signs of chafing the engine harness will be repaired re-positioned to ensure the correct specification.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY BE DEACTIVATED
Under certain conditions the front passenger air bag can be deactivated and may not deploy in the event of a collision.
On affected vehicles check and if necessary update software.
FLAMMABLE VAPOUR MAY IGNITE
The threaded connection on the Adblue filler pipe and ground cable for the fuel tank access may not be correctly tightened on vehicles with diesel engine OM651. It is possible for the connection to work loose and fail thereby causing the possibility of an electrostatic discharge. In extreme conditions there is a possibility of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary correct the connection of the Adblue filler pipe and ground cable.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
Repeated occupant movement into the seat over the fastener leading to bending of the steel cable. Possible damage of safety belt anchor cable - worst case: Loss of seat belt function
This recall is additional to Recall R/2015/201.Improved parts are now available and the manufacturer will now replace the outer pre tensioners.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY BE DEACTIVATED
Under certain conditions the front passenger air bag can be deactivated and may not deploy in the event of a collision.
On affected vehicles check and if necessary update software.
FRONT SEAT BACKREST MAY COLLAPSE IN A COLLISION
The back-rests of the front seats may not have been assembled correctly. This may increase risk of injury to occupants during a collision.
On affected vehicles check frames and if necessary replace affected components.
SEAT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY IN A COLLISION
Front and/or rear seats may have been fitted with incorrectly tightened fasteners. This may increase risk of injury to occupants during a collision.
Replace affected seat assemblies.
INCORRECT TYRE PRESSURE LABEL AND SPARE WHEEL FITTED
It has been identified that the incorrect tyre pressure label has been fitted. In addition if orderer the spare wheel may also be incorrect. It is therefore possible that the stability of the vehicle could be affected.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace both the tyre pressure label and the spare wheel with new quality assured items.
