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).
DRIVERS AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified that due to an internal defect within the drivers air-bag if the SRS system detects an impact/collision which requires deployment of the air-bags then the drivers air-bag may not deploy. Therefore there is a risk of increased injury to the driver.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the driver's air-bag with a new unit.

GEARBOX POSITION DISPLAY MAY BE INCORRECT AND MAY LEAD TO ROLL AWAY
It has been identified that an error in the gearbox software can result in the incorrect message being displayed on the machine's instrument cluster. The gearbox position maybe displayed as being in the P or parked position even when the gearbox is not mechanically engaged in the park position. This could result in the machine rolling away.
Recall all affected machines and perform a gearbox position learning cycle.
WHEELS MAY LOCK IF ABS IS ACTIVATED
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing issue the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Actuator Control Unit may have contamination within it. When in use the contamination particle can migrate within the ABS unit and become trapped in a valve. In this condition the ABS may not operate as per design intent in the worst case when the ABS is activated under certain unusual driving conditions the customer may experience wheel lock and the vehicle�s dynamic behaviour would be adversely affected.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the ABS control unit and where necessary replace it with new component.
ENGINE MAY STALL AND/OR FAIL TO RESTART
The insulation material of wiring for the stator may be damaged by engine heat and a short-circuit between the wiring may occur. Continued use of the motorcycle with this condition may cause the generating current of the stator coil to be reduced and insufficient charging to the battery may result. In the worst case it can lead to the engine stalling during running and/or the engine may be impossible to restart.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the Stator Set.

STEERING MAY LOCK
On affected vehicles the steering rack and pinion assembly may have been manufactured with an incorrect amount of grease. In some circumstances this situation may result in steering lock. The manufacturer advises not to use the vehicles until such time remedial action has been completed.
Replace steering rack and pinion assembly
EXTENDED SEAT BELT MAY MALFUNCTION AND REDUCE EFFECTIVENESS OF SHOULDER BELT
It has been identified that the rear seatbelt extender may not retract as intended due to an issue with the individual friction conditions experienced by the belt extender which have not be programmed into the control unit. Should the pretensioners deploy during a collision then there is the potential that the extender may fail and break leaving broken edges which can cause a risk of a serious injury or higher occupant loading.
Recall all affected vehicles and recode the rear control unit on the vehicle.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
Contact may occur between the wiring harness and the ABS modulator. An electrical connection may be created via the brake line between the ABS modulator and the vehicle ground. For this to occur the wiring harness must be frayed and must be in contact with the ABS modulator and the brake line must be electrically conductive. A conductive brake line can overheat and ultimately melt which can result in failure of a brake system circuit.
On affected machines screw ground wire onto the ABS modulator and fasten ground wire on the frame. Check the wiring harness for visible damage around the ABS modulator (chafing damaged coating exposed wires etc.) and repair as necessary. Check routing of the entire wiring harness around the ABS modulator and secure to frame.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Insufficient clearance between the fuel rail and the engine can result in abrasion of the fuel rail posing a potential fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may pose a fire hazard.
On affected machines.Check fuel line install a bracket and where necessary replace fuel rail.
RISK OF FIRE
On certain 6 and 8 cylinder engine vehicles a faulty rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead may have been installed. It is therefore possible that the panel/bulkhead may contact the left exhaust catalytic converter due to insufficient clearance. If the catalytic converter is subjected to high temperatures due to heavy driving conditions i.e. full throttle or towing then there is a risk of the rear engine compartment panel igniting and a vehicle fire ensuing.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead and the exhaust catalytic converter. If the clearance is insufficient then the rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead will be replaced.
REAR SEAT BACKREST MAY COLLAPSE IN A COLLISION
It has been identified on the CLA Shooting Brake models with load compartment package the rear seat back-rest retaining bracket threaded connection may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. If the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision and the rear seat back-rest is subjected to heavy loadings from heavy items moving in the truck then the retaining bracket can work loose and allow the rear seat back-rest to collapse and possible cause an injury to any occupants.
Recall the affected vehicle and replace the rear seat back-rest retaining bracket mounting bolts.
REAR WHEEL MAY DETACH
One of the rear axle bolts retaining the stub axle carrier on the left and/or right side may not have been correctly tightened.This could allow the stub axle to separate from it's mounting.
On affected vehicles check bolt tightness. If necessary or if bolt(s) is/are missing replace the axle assembly.
MAINTENANCE FLAP GLASS MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the bonding on the glass panel of the rear left upper maintenance flap may not be to specification. This may allow the glass to vibrate and can result in either the failure (shattering) of the glass panel or the detachment of the glass panel from the frame. This can cause a risk to other road users following the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and fit rubber buffers an additional retention medium and protective film.
REAR AXLE MAY DETACH
The rear axle bolts may not have been correctly tightened which may generate a noise from inside the wheel arch or cause friction on the Tyre. If the concern is not addressed it is possible for the axle to become uncoupled from the body of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to ensure the bolts are at the correct torque. Where axle bolts are found to be missing the axle must be replaced.
ENGINE HATCH MAY SHOW CLOSED IN ERROR ENABLING ENGINE TO BE STARTED
It has been identified that due to corrosion the engine hatch switches may become stuck in closed or compressed position. This will indicate that the hatch is closed regardless of whether the hatch is in the open or closed position. In this condition the engine can be started with the hatch in the open position. This will therefore pose a risk of injury to any maintenance staff working in the engine compartment.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the current switches with new roller type switches.
ANCHORAGE POINT MAY BE INCORRECTLY POSITIONED AND MAY NOT RESTRAIN THE PASSENGER
Some vehicles may have an incorrectly assembled front seat belt with the right hand seat belt fitted on the left hand side or vice versa. This could cause the seat belt upper anchorage to be used at an incorrect angle; making it difficult for the customer to apply the seatbelt or slowing the retraction speed when removing the belt. In an extreme case the front seat belt may not restrain the front seat passenger.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary replace the front seat belts.
