TRANSMISSION MOUNT MAY FAIL
It has been identified that due to a nonconformity in the transmission casing mount material there is a possibility that the casting may fail. This may affect the control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the mounting with new quality assured item.
SEAT BELT ANCHOR BOLT SECURITY
It has been identified that during production a small number of Fiesta's may not have had the right-hand side front seatbelt top anchor bolt tightened to the correct specification. This may result in the mounting not performing as intended if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to torque the right-hand side front seatbelt top anchor bolts to the correct specification.
COOLANT LEAKAGE MAY RESULT IN A FIRE
It has been identified that during the engine warm-up process and under certain driving/climate conditions for instance periods of high acceleration or high engine load immediately after a cold start in cold climates there is the possibility for coolant leakage or oil seepage. This can lead to the possibility in a worst-case scenario of smoke or a slow developing fire in the engine compartment. However the driver will receive a warning message on the Driver�s Information Module indicating a low coolant level.
Recall all affected vehicles to modify the coolant bypass valve and install a new exhaust manifold gasket.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
The sun visors may experience a high resistance short at the sun visor vanity lamp wiring after a service repair to the sun visor headliner or while gaining access above the headliner. This may result in an inoperative vanity lamp and/or an electrical fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the sun visors modify the surrounding sheet metal and install vanity lamp wiring guides.
1. LOSS OF TRACTION; 2. SIDE STAND MAY FAIL
1. The final drive pulley retaining nut may loosen and cause significant wear to the pulley teeth allowing the gearbox secondary shaft to slip in the pulley with the attendant loss of drive. 2. The lower side plate fastening bolt for the side stand may become loose and if not attended to could eventually fail allowing the machine to fall and be a risk to people in close proximity.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to: 1. Replace the locking device and retorque the final drive pulley retaining nut. 2. Re mount the side stand and plate using new torque settings thread lock and where applicable new bolts..
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
On model series 463 with a 6 cylinder diesel engine the engine wiring harness may make contact with one of the brackets in the engine compartment and chafe by vibration during driving. Depending on the wire affected the engine MIL lamp could illuminate the engine could run in �limp-home� mode or the engine could cut out increasing the risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the bracket in the engine compartment and where necessary correct the routing of the engine wiring harness.
ESP & EPB MAY NOT FUNCTION
The ESP hydraulic/control unit may have been damaged during shipping. This may affect operation of the ESP and/or the electronic parking brake.
On affected vehicles replace the ESP hydraulic/control unit.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED
On affected vehicles the eyelet connection of the parking brake secondary cable could break. If this happens the parking brake function can be affected
Inspect and where necessary replace cables.
LOSS OF CONTROL
In the event of emergency braking or during an ESP regulation phase (e.g. avoiding manoeuvre) the hydraulic block may not prevent the locking of a wheel which could affect control of the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace the braking system hydraulic block

On affected vehicles replace the braking system hydraulic block
HOPPER MAY DETACH WHEN BEING TIPPED
It has been identified that the area of the sweeper hopper immediately in front or behind of the tipping brackets can crack/fracture. In extreme cases this could result in the hopper detaching when or whilst being tipped.
Recall all affected vehicles to be inspected and for the fitment of a reaction beam.

REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE
A vacuum supply line for the brake booster may not have been fitted correctly. The vacuum supply line could become loose resulting in reduced braking assistance. The brakes will still work but the driver will have to supply additional input for the required brake effort.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected where the connection points of the vacuum supply line will be checked/adjusted/replaced as necessary.

TYRES MAY DEFLATE UNEXPECTEDLY
A possible non-conformity in the fitting of the tyre valves as well as an incorrect tightening torque of the valve securing nut could cause a valve to fail and a rapid loss of pressure in the tyres. The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp would illuminate to warn the driver.
On affected vehicles replace the tyre valves using a fitting jig.
REAR AXLE MAY DETACH
There may not be adequate welding on one of the rear axle side arm bush housings. Therefore it is possible for the twist beam to become detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new rear twist axle.
LOSS OF CONTROL
Due to a manufacturing issue the front wheel bearing can become noisy and vibrate. If the driver does not take notice of these warnings then the bearing could fail and cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the front wheel bearing.
