ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
An incorrectly manufactured crank position sensor may cause the engine to unexpectedly cut out or not to start.
On recalled vehicles the engine serial number will be checked and if within the affected range the crank position sensor will be replaced.
CHILD LOCK MAY DISENGAGE
The door child locks may disengage without driver knowledge. Though the door remains close it is possible for the door to then be opened from the inside.
On affected vehicles inspect lock mechanism and replace where necessary.
AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
Due to a nonconformity of production the driver's air bag may not deploy correctly and may not provide protection as intended.
On affected vehicles replace driver's air bag
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
An incorrectly manufactured crank position sensor may cause the engine to unexpectedly cut out or not to start.
On recalled vehicles the engine serial number will be checked and if within the affected range the crank position sensor will be replaced.
STEERING MAY FAIL
On retrofit Low Entry Cab the steering limiter valve does not offload the system pressure correctly. This may cause high stress/forces on the link rod adjusting sleeve and ball joint which could lead to damaged or broken parts. This may lead to loss of steering
On affected vehicles the pressure limiting valves are to be replaced and adjusted (this is a mandatory operation). The steering link rod should be checked and replaced if there is any sign of stress
LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
An abnormal noise may occur at the steering gear box when moving the steering wheel to right or left due to pinion plug nut loosening. If the concern is not resolved the pinion could lose contact with the rack leading to a loss of steering.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check steering shaft for up/down movement if there is no movement secure existing pinion plug with additional set screw. If movement is detected replace the pinion plug and cover.
HEADLAMPS MAY SWITCH OFF WITHOUT WARNING
Vehicles fitted with Adaptive LED Headlamps could experience a condition where the loss of a control signal in combination with a software error may cause the headlamps to switch off. There is a risk of collision if defect happens at night.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and updated software will be loaded to the affected modules.
ENGINE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING
The engine may be difficult to start and / or the engine may stall without warning from fuel starvation and will be impossible to restart. When fuel is present in the fuel pump it causes the surface of the resin inlet cover to deform and swell into a convex shape. The clearance between the inlet cover and the fuel pump's impeller reduces and the two components interfere with each other. As a result the impeller locks and stops fuel flow to the engine.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the affected fuel pump with a counter measure fuel pump.

BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The rear calipers may not have been manufacturer to design specifications. as a result the seals may allow brake fluid to leak. This may affect brake efficiency but the brake fluid level warning light will illuminate before the reservoir is depleted .
On affected vehicles replace rear calipers

ELECTRICAL STSTEMS AND LIGHTS MAY FAIL
The power supply lines for the cab electrical system may not be fastened correctly at the electrical connecting point mounted on the cab firewall and as a result may be loose. A loose cable can cause implausible displays and fault messages and a complete detachment from the connecting point can lead to a complete failure of the vehicle electronics including the lights.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the fastening for the power supply at the electrical connecting point and if necessary correct the fastening and connections.

STEERING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A lock nut on a rear suspension tie rod may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. It may not act as intended even tightened to specification. It is unlikely the rod will disconnect but it may loosen and affect the vehicle's handling characteristics.
On affected vehicles replace the rear tie rod lock nuts.
MAINTENANCE FLAP MAY DETACH FROM VEHICLE
The locking forces of the maintenance flap may not be to specification. At high speed and in combination with strong gusts of wind the plastic maintenance flap may detach from the vehicle and may pose an increased risk of injury for following road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the locks of the maintenance flap.
FRONT WHEEL BOLTS MAY BE LOOSE
The wheel bolts may not have been tightened correctly at the factory. If the bolts come loose the directional control of the machine may be compromised.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and tighten the wheel bolts. If the wheel and studs are damaged they will be replaced.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The drag link may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. There may be clearance between the draglink nut and the draglink arm which could potentially result in loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for clearance between the nut and the draglink arm. If there is a gap the draglink arm must be renewed.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The drag link may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. There may be clearance between the draglink nut and the draglink arm which could potentially result in loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for clearance between the nut and the draglink arm. If there is a gap the draglink arm must be renewed.
RCS SYSTEM UNABLE TO DETECT AND MITIGATE POTENTIAL VEHICLE ROLL OVER
The software for the RSC is not to the correct specification and is unable to detect and mitigate a potential vehicle roll over condition. All other Stability Control Systems including Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) continue to function correctly.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the vehicle with the latest software.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The drag link may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. There may be clearance between the draglink nut and the draglink arm which could potentially result in loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for clearance between the nut and the draglink arm. If there is a gap the draglink arm must be renewed.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for clearance between the nut and the draglink arm. If there is a gap the draglink arm must be renewed.
ENGINE MAY LOSE POWER
The subject vehicle could unexpectedly lose drive and coast to a halt with no motive power due to a software issue in the powertrain control unit. In certain circumstances it is possible that the risk of collision is heightened.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software of the power train control unit.
