INCORRECT LOAD CAPACITY LISTED FOR INTERIOR HOOKS
It has been identified that the maximum load capacity for the load restraint hooks in the load compartment of the vehicle has been incorrectly written in the Owner Handbook. The correct load capacity is 500 daN and not the 625 daN as written. If the correct load capacity of 500 daN is not adhered to then the load hooks may not retain the load due to overloading. This could result in an unsecured load with the potential for loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to attach a load capacity label within the load compartment and install an additional amended page to the Owner Handbook.
FRONT BACKREST MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
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.
TRAILER HITCH MAY DETACH
Two out of the four screws/bolts of the trailer hitch may not have been tightened correctly resulting in excessive stress to the other bolts. It is therefore possible that over time the connection could fail and the trailer detach from the towing vehicle increasing the risk of incident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fixing bolts/screws for the towing attachment.
PARKING BRAKE CAN BE RELEASED BEFORE FULL AIR PRESSURE IS ACHIEVED
The multi-circuit protection valve section of the Air Processing Unit (APU) has been incorrectly piped. The consequence is that the driver could release the park brake without sufficient pressure in the service brake circuits for them to function as the driver would expect. In this condition the red low pressure warning light for service brake circuits will either be independently illuminated or both together plus the low air pressure buzzer will be sounding.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to change the position of two air pipes on the APU unit.

FUEL MAY LEAK
The high fuel pressure that builds up in the injection system when the engine is running can cause cracking and ultimately press the relevant fuel collection pipe off the injectors. This can cause a fuel leak in the engine compartment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes with different screws.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible that some suspension and brake components were not tightened correctly when building the car. It is possible for the components to become insecure and develop increase in noise from the suspension and increase of free play in steering. If not corrected the directional control and brakes could be affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and tighten the affected components to the required specifiaction: rear suspension fixings on the body brake calipers on their supports front subframe fixings on the body front hub carrier fixings on the subframe and on the shock absorbers brake hoses on the calipers and fixings of the underbody deflectors.
LIGHTS MAY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING
It has been identified that due to a programing issue with the On-Board Supply Control Unit it is possible that the failure of one of the vehicle lights (dipped beam/main beam/daytime running light/rear fog light or indicator) may not be recognised by the control unit and therefore not shown in the instrument cluster. It is also possible that vehicle lights may be shown as faulty when they are not. Furthermore a failure of a dipped beam may not trigger a replacement response (activation of side lights). A light failure without a display in the instrument cluster or without replacement response can pose a danger of an accident especially in the dark.
Recall all affected vehicles to reprogramme the On-Board Supply Control Unit.
POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE
Vehicles equipped with stop/start system might have a starter motor failure while driving due to thermal damage of the starter cable.
Authorised Repairers will Rework the starter motor cable. If necessary replace the starter the starter cable and the starter cable nut.

FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS MAY BE IMPAIRED
It has been identified that the front side airbags may have been fitted with the incorrect detonators. If the vehicle is involved in a collision then the airbags may not operate as intended.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front side airbags with a quality assured replacement.

ENGINE MAY STOP / STALL AND FAIL TO RE-START
Improper machining of the crankpin hole along with sulphur found in the engine oil and traces of coolant which generate hydrogen sulphide can corrode the silver plating of the connecting rod bearing retainer eventually allowing the bearings to turn and causing the engine to stop.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the crankshaft assembly with new countermeasure part.
ALARM/IMMOBILISER MAY MALFUNCTION
Over time corrosion of the internal circuit board can lead to unpredictable functionality of the alarm. This can cause the alarm to operate and in the most severe cases may cause the motorcycle not to start or to immobilise the motorcycle in use. The rider maybe warned of the issue by the alarm LED glowing slightly with the ignition on (LED should not illuminate when ignition is on).
Recall all affected units and replace with a new quality assured unit.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
Heated handlebar (throttle twist) grip may when turned �on� bind on the end weight or optional accessory mirror resulting in the throttle not returning without manual action by the rider.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and install a spacer to provide a sufficient air gap for the throttle to move freely.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT ACTIVATE CORRECTLY
It has been identified that due to the incorrect programming of the Brake Control Module there is a possibility that the parking brake may not be set automatically when the Brake Hold or Hill Assist System is deactivated by certain conditions for example the unfastening of the driver�s seat belt while the system is enabled. When this occurs the system is designed to deactivate the brake hold function sound a warning buzzer display a message in the instrument cluster and automatically set the parking brake. If this should occur and the transmission is left in a gear other than Park then the vehicle could creep forward or backward increasing the risk of a collision.
Recall all the affected vehicles and reprogramme the Brake Control Module with the new correct software.
