SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE COMPROMISED
It has been identified that clamp bolt of the front lower control arm to knuckle fixing may have been incorrectly torqued/tighten this can cause a premature fatigue failure and possible separation of the joint. The driver will receive a warning in the form of noise a ABS warning light on the vehicles instrument panel or the misalignment steering wheel. In addition this is an early life failure. However if the driver does not heed the warning signs then the control the vehicle can be effected which can lead to an increased risk of a crash.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the affected front lower control arm to knuckle fixing and apply the correct torque. Some vehicles require recall remedy actions to one side only others to both sides of the vehicle.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Vehicles included in safety recall R/2016/302 (P075) have received a modification which has subsequently been determined as not durable for the life of the vehicle. The engine harness may chafe on an engine bracket and cause engine malfunction. In extreme cases the engine may cut out.
On affected vehicles inspect harness and repair as necessary. Fit new bracket and secure harness.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identified that the bolt that connects the ground cable from the wiring harness of the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) to the engine block may not have been tightened/torqued to the correct specification. This can lead to an under voltage supply which can trigger a reset of the DME. This can result in the engine cutting out or depending on vehicle speed to restart/turn on the engine once the reset has been completed.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required retorque the bolt for the ground cable on the engine block.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified by the air-bag manufacturer that the air-bag initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to non-deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the passenger.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bag with a new quality assured component.

RISK OF FIRE
The air box intake snorkel that may come in contact with the fuel rail or fuel line during operation. The resulting contact between the snorkel and fuel rail or fuel line may cause a fuel leak that may pose a fire hazard. The resulting issue could lead to a fuel leak which may pose a fire hazard.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and inspect the intake snorkel fuel rail and fuel line and replace them if they are damaged. A modified support bracket between the air box snorkel and the fuel rail will also be installed.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The passenger air bag may not meet the correct specification. In the possible event of a frontal collision front passenger airbag might not deploy as intended.
On affected vehicles replace passenger air bag module.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
The passenger air bag may not meet the correct specification. In the possible event of a frontal collision front passenger airbag might not deploy as intended.
On affected vehicles replace passenger air bag module.
AIRBAG AND/OR PRETENSIONER MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A COLLISION
The front impact sensor wire(s) may become detached during a crash event before the �impact signal� is recorded by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). This may affect deployment of airbags and/or operation of pretensioners.
On affected vehicles the existing front end module wiring harness must be modified then routed and secured to a new location.
REAR SERVICE BRAKE MAY FAIL TO ACTIVATE AND ALLOW VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS
Affected vehicles may experience a lack of braking control on the rear axle when reverse gear is engaged.
On affected vehicles fit a pneumatic control system.
STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It has been identified that due to the non-conforming layout of the airbag wiring and missing cut-proof protection the airbag wiring may interfere with the steering wheel wiring terminal. This can cause the abrasion of the wiring itself. This abrasion may cause a short-circuit and consequent inadvertent deployment of the steering wheel airbag.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the airbag wiring and apply cut proof padded tape.
POWER STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The electrical contact of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) is not sufficiently robust over the service life of the vehicle. As a result the power steering support may fail possibly leading to disconcerting driving situation for the driver. Additionally in a few cases a localised thermal event cannot be excluded.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering gear (EPS).
