POSSIBLE WHEEL LOCK WHEN ABS ACTIVATED
Due to a manufacturing a check valve in the Vehicle Stability Assist / Anti lock braking modulator not operate correctly.The anti lock braking may not operate correctly resulting in possible wheel lock under anti lock braking operation. In addition the City Brake Active system (CTBA) may not operate as intended.
On affected vehicles replace Vehicle Stability Assist / Anti lock braking modulator
VEHICLE MAY CATCH FIRE
Due to a production error the air-conditioning fan may overheat and in extreme cases cause fire.
On affected vehicles replace the air-conditioning fan motor. These vehicles should not be left unattended without first isolating the power supply.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the rider and / or in worst cases a fatality.
On affected machines a new air bag module will be installed.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger front air bag module.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger front air bag module.
MANUAL CHILD LOCK MAY DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING
The child lock can disengage without the driver knowing and the door can again be opened from the inside. If children leave the car unnoticed and run into the road there is a risk of accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the function of the manual child lock. If necessary the door lock/s will be replaced.

FUEL MAY LEAK
The under bonnet fuel hoses routed on top of the engine may chafe against a plastic moulded noise suppressing material retaining posts on the underside of the engine top cover. The fuel hoses can over time chafe through the protective sleeve and fuel hose. Should the fuel hose wear through there will be an increased diesel fuel odour due to diesel fuel leaking. If this warning is ignored diesel fuel may leak onto the exhaust manifold (potential fire hazard) or onto the road surface (potential skid hazard).
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and ensure the securing washers are pushed fully home. Additionally remove 8mm from the plastic moulded retaining posts. The tape wrapped around the fuel hose protective sleeve and the fuel hose will be visually inspected and replaced if there are signs of damage.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
Affected vehicles may have bleed screws fitted to the front calipers which do not comply with specifications.
On affected vehicles inspect calipers and where necessary replace caliper(s)
STEERING / DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
Due to incorrect software in the Direct Adaptive Steering control unit the steering wheel may be off centre and driver's may interpret this as the steering pulling to one side. The turning circle may also be increased.
On affected vehicles reprogramme the Direct Adaptive Steering control unit

BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
The brake fluid container may not have been inserted far enough into its mounts or was not secured correctly which can result in it detaching and a loss of brake fluid. The driver could become aware of this by the gradual deterioration of brake performance by having to press the brake pedal further. This can consequently increase the risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the brake fluid reservoir on the affected vehicles to ensure it is properly engaged and if necessary fix it in the correct position.

LOSS OF CONTROL
The control for the adjustment of the tilt and rake of the steering column is in a position where it could be accidentally operated by the driver whilst the vehicle is in motion. This could cause an unexpected movement of the steering column and steering wheel.
On affected vehicles fit an interlock to prevent this.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The crack on air intake ducts could cause the engine rough idle lower the power and the engine stall. Engine may stall whilst driving. Possible safety hazard whilst driving in traffic
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check date on air intake duct. Depending on finds the air intake ducts may have to be replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The crack on air intake ducts could cause the engine rough idle lower the power and the engine stall. Engine may stall whilst driving. Possible safety hazard whilst driving in traffic
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check date on air intake duct. Depending on finds the air intake ducts may have to be replaced.
BONNET CATCH MAY OPEN
The bonnet lock mechanism my seize and allow the bonnet to open whilst the vehicle is in motion causing a loss of vision.
In the first instance lubricate and free off the bonnet lock mechanism. When parts become available replace bonnet lock mechanism.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
Certain circumstances can trigger the Occupant Detection System (ODS) to incorrectly detect a high rise in capacitance which deactivates the ODS and turns the passenger airbag off. This is signalled to the driver via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). If a heavy frontal collision occurs after the MIL illuminates the airbag will not deploy.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the Occupant Detection Unit.
