LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It has been identified that the durability of the lower trailing arm cannot be guaranteed. The arm can start to crack or fracture which if used on race track use or similar events can cause the arm to fail and result in loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all the affected vehicles to replace the lower trailing arms with a more durable component.
BONNET MAY OPEN UNINTENTIONALLY
It has been identified that the striker wire on the bonnet lining may not have sufficient support to prove it with the security for its intended purpose. This can lead to incorrect locking of the bonnet over time and could result in an unintentional release of the bonnet. The driver will received early warning signs or symptoms by the incorrect locking of the bonnet.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect and if required an additional strengthener to retain the striker cable on the inner panel of the bonnet. In some cases there maybe a requirement to replace the bonnet.
ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
The Soft Ware applied during manufacture was incorrect for Medium Duty Engines. All heat temperature sensors are affected and are not functioning. The Heat Sensor function is lost and there is no warning to driver if temperature reaches specified limit. If the driver does not stop the vehicle as it starts to overheat it is possible for the engine to seize.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download updated software.
REAR DOOR MAY OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
It has been identified that the driver can inadvertently circumvent the correct operating procedure for the closing/opening of the rear plug and slide door. If the door operating sequence has been overridden then when the vehicle moves off from stationary the door can reopen a number of seconds after the vehicle has started to move off following the release of the park (halt) brake. Should this occur then the park (halt) brake will apply causing the vehicle to suddenly stop. The interlock will operate and the door will not reopen if the vehicle has exceeded 5 mph.
Recall all affected vehicles to upgrade the Kibes software.
INTERNAL BODY JOINTS/ FIXINGS MAY NOT BE TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION
It has been identified that certain internal body joints or fixing may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If not torqued to the correct specification then the joints/fixings may loosen over time. This could affect the vehicle's integrity if involved in a collision.
Recall all the affected vehicle to check and if required torque certain internal body joints and fixings.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
Due to exposure of water and dirt intrusion in the engine compartment the alternators may fail prematurely due to seized bearings. In the worst case the alternators could overheat causing an engine compartment fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the alternators with new improved versions equipped with protection washers on front and rear bearing. Update engine encapsulation and exchange the alternator protective shield to reduce the amount of dirt and water entering the engine compartment.
REAR DOOR MAY OPEN WITHOUT WARNING
It has been identified that the driver can inadvertently circumvent the correct operating procedure for the closing/opening of the rear plug and slide door. If the door operating sequence has been overridden then when the vehicle moves off from stationary the door can reopen a number of seconds after the vehicle has started to move off following the release of the park (halt) brake. Should this occur then the park (halt) brake will apply causing the vehicle to suddenly stop. The interlock will operate and the door will not reopen if the vehicle has exceeded 5 mph.
Recall all affected vehicles to upgrade the Kibes software.
BONNET MAY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY
It has been identified that the bonnet striker support may corrode. If this corrosion is not treated there is a possibility the bonnet striker support may fail which will allow the bonnet to open whilst the vehicle is in motion. Early warning signs or symptoms of corrosion can be seen by the driver around the bonnet striker support and on the leading edge of the bonnet also the bonnet may not lock correctly.
Recall affected vehicles to inspect the area around the bonnet striker support and take preventive action to protect the area from corrosion which may include the replacement of the bonnet if required.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL
It has been identified that the locking nut of the differential pinion may not have been tightened to the correct specification. This will be identified to the driver by noise generated from the differential and also possible vibration. If these warning signs are ignored and with prolonged use in this condition then it could result in a possible failure/locking of the differential and the subsequent loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicle to check the tightness of the locking nut on the differential pinion. If it is found to be incorrect then the differential will be replaced and possibly the drive-shaft if projections or metal contaminates are found in the differential rear cover.

AIRBAG MAY RELEASE SHRAPNEL IF DEPLOYED
Certain driver side airbags the inflator might release shrapnel from the inflator container during deployment which could injure the driver.
On affected vehicles replace air bag inflator.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT OR LOSE POWER
On some machines there is a possibility that the main switch lead wire may be damaged by the metal guide located on the steering head pipe. This may expose electrical wires and result in an electrical short circuit causing he main fuse to fail. This may lead to a loss of power.
On affected machines reroute the main switch wire r with a countermeasure sub-lead
FUEL MAY LEAK / RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that the fuel delivery line/pipe may not have been installed to the correct specification. This could result in the incorrect tolerance between the fuel line/pipe and the vehicle under shield and the body. This can result in a chaffing condition and fuel leak. This will be highlighted to the driver by either a smell of fuel or pooling of fuel under the vehicle.
Recall the affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the under shield and the body and carry out remedial work as required which may only be the fitment of additional retaining clips or the replacement of any damaged fuel line/pipe.
FRONT SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The front suspension wishbones fixing bolts may not be to the correct specification which could lead to a risk of them breaking. This may affetc the driver's ability to control the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the wishbone fixing bolts.
AIRBAG MAY INCORRECTLY DEPLOY
The passenger air bag inflator may have been incorrectly manufactured/assembled. This may allow leakage of compressed gas and partial inflation of the airbag without a deployment command.
Replace passenger airbag unit.
FRONT AIRBAGS AND BELT TENSIONERS MAY NOT BE TRIGGERED IN A COLLISON
It has been identified that the airbag/SRS central sensor has been programmed with faulty software. If the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rearward collision then the airbag and seat belt tensioners may not be triggered which could lead to an increased risk of injury to the occupants.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the airbag/SRS central sensor.

LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
The material of certain front stub axle carriers may not be to specification and under extreme load conditions could crack. In the event of total failure a wheel could separate from the coach affecting directional control increasing the risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to identify the stub axle carriers. Where the stub axle carrier bears a casting identification showing it is affected the stub axle will be replaced. Later (4/11 � 12/14) stub axle carriers could require material testing to identify if replacement is necessary.
