AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Due to a non conformity during production the passenger's front air bag inflator may rupture during deployment. This may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.
On affected vehicles replace passenger's front air bag.

On affected vehicles replace passenger's front air bag.
REAR LEFT HAND SEAT BELT MOUNTING MAY FAIL
The near side rear seat belt upper mounting bolt may not have been tightened to the correct specification. In the event of an accident the belt may be insecure and not act as intended.
On affected vehicles tighten bolt to correct specification
POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE / RISK OF FIRE
On affected vehicles the turbocharger induction pipe may fail allowing oil to leak. Vehicle users may notice a drop in oil level which should also cause the oil warning lamp to illuminate. This may lead to engine failure and In extreme cases a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles replace the turbocharger oil induction pipe.

BRAKE HOSE FITTING MAY FAIL AND ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK
A none conformity in the production process could result in a crack in female metal fitting around the circumference midway between locating pips. This could result in the failure of fitting resulting in separation of fitting and loss of brake fluid.
Recall all brake hoses that are likely to be affected and issue replacement hoses.
RISK OF FIRE
In the event the heater fan resistor thermal fuse is affected by a combination of several factors there is a possible risk of fire.
Replace the resistor fuse with modified type. Fit new moulding to base of windscreen and where not already done so replace heater motor assembly.
BEARING FAILURE COULD RESULT IN WHEEL-END FIRE
The wheel hub units fitted with FAG bearings may exhibit premature wear in certain trailer applications. Prolonged use in these applications may result in degradation of the bearing grease. Early indicators may include noise roughness excessive end-play high running temperatures and ABS signal error. If this condition remains undetected it may potentially lead to a bearing failure axle damage and in extreme cases a wheel-end fire. Timken bearings are not affected.
Recall the units that are likely to be affected and on certain trailer applications replace the hub units. Other applications check for symptoms and if necessary replace hub unit.
SIDE AIRBAG OF FRONT LEFT SEAT MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IN COLLISION & MAY HAVE SOME PASSENGER COLLISION PROTECTION MISSING
On affected vehicles the near side front side air bag may have been incorrectly fitted in its module. As a result it may not deploy as intended during a collision increasing the risk of injury.
On affected vehicles replace the nearside front side airbag.
RISK OF FIRE
The fuel pressure sensor may not have correctly tightened during assembly. Over time this may affect the seal and allow fuel odour to escape. This could ignite in the presence of an ignition source.
On affected vehicles replace seal and tighten pressure sensor to specification.
TOWBAR MAY DETACH
The two horizontal fixing bolts that fix the ball hitch support bar to the tow bar frame may be incorrectly located. This defect can be seen by looking under the rear of the vehicle at the two bolts to ensure they pass through both the bar and the frame. If ignored this could lead to the ball hitch bar becoming loose and tilting and ultimately the fixing bolts could break leading to the tow hitch detaching from the vehicle.
On affected vehicles check fitment of ball hitch. Where necessary refit ball hitch with new bolts and tighten to the correct specification.
RISK OF FIRE
The fuel pressure sensor may not have correctly tightened during assembly. Over time this may affect the seal and allow fuel odour to escape. This could ignite in the presence of an ignition source.
On affected vehicles replace seal and tighten pressure sensor to specification.
1. POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVE 2. THROTTLE MAY STICK 3. RISK OF FIRE
1) The kick starter may not be correctly secure and slip during use. 2) A bolt may have dropped into the air cleaner during assembly. If a bolt is in the air cleaner assembly it is possible for it to enter the throttle body causing the throttle to stick so the rpm cannot be reduced by throttle operation. 3) A fuel hose connector may not have been properly fitted to the injector which can lead to fuel leakage increasing the risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and 1) Torque kick starter nut to 55NM 2) Check for foreign material in the air cleaner box. 3) Insert fuel feed pipe onto injector until secure
FUEL LEAK MAY OCCUR
The fuel tubes are not earthed correctly. If an electro static discharge occurs on the fuel tubes it may cause a pin size hole in the fuel tube and a subsequent fuel leak. If the vehicle is stationary at traffic lights this could cause a pooling underneath the vehicle which could cause the road surface to become slippery and a possible danger to two wheeled vehicles.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install a new conductive clip to the fuel and brake tube bundle and attach it to the vehicle body.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED
One or both bolts retaining the passenger air bag may have been omitted during production. As a result the airbag may not deploy as intended during a frontal collision.
On affected vehicles check bolts are present for tightness and fit new bolts where required.
LOSS OF BRAKING EFFORT
On some TRISTOP� actuators the chambers may not have been correctly assembled and the load from power spring and pressure is not fully taken. Under certain circumstances the parking side and the service sides of the actuator could separate and the actuator could lose functionality. Ultimately this could lead to a loss of braking functionality and/or brake failure. Critical applications are vehicles such as city buses or garbage collection vehicles (subject to a high parking brake frequency).
Identify and replace affected actuators.
REAR SEAT BELT MAY FAIL
The vehicles are equipped with 3-point lap-shoulder belt assemblies in all-three rear seating positions. The inner belt (buckle portion) of each of the rear three seat belt assemblies is secured to the floor of the vehicle with an anchor plate. The anchor plate might have been manufactured with a sharp edge around the punched portion. In the event of a collision there is a possibility that the inner seat belt webbing could become cut and separate at the anchor plate. If this occurs the inner seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant which could increase the risk to injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the Lot number of the anchor plate. Where necessary the rear inner belt assembly will be replaced with a new one.
