RISK OF DRIVESHAFT FAILURE
Due to insufficient coating during manufacture the drive-shafts) may corrode and fracture. In the event that the drive-shaft is fractured the vehicle loses drive but steering and braking will be still be available.
On affected vehicles replace both drive shafts.
DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Due to incorrect assembly the driver's airbag may not fully deploy during certain high speed collision conditions.
On affected vehicles replace driver's airbag
RISK OF DRIVESHAFT FAILURE
Due to insufficient coating during manufacture the drive-shafts) may corrode and fracture. In the event that the drive-shaft is fractured the vehicle loses drive but steering and braking will be still be available.
On affected vehicles replace both drive shafts.
RISK OF FIRE
Water ingress to the relay on the electrical vacuum pump may cause a short. In extreme instances this may lead to fire.
On affected vehicles replace Vacuum Pump/Relay Assembly and apply special grease to electrical connectors
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
The torque sensor of the electric power steering assistance may be damaged which can adversely affected the tightness of the housing and allow water ingress. The defect could lead to failure of the torque sensor and consequently shut off the steering power assistance and lead to an elevated risk of collision.
Recall the vehicle that is likely to be affected and replace the electric power steering.
RISK OF FIRE
The mounting nut for the battery ground line at the body may not have been tightened correctly. If the connection is loose there could be sparks and localised heating which increases the risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check and rework the threaded connection as necessary.
PASSENGER BENCH SEAT MAY FAIL
The bolt securing the passenger seat back rest may fracture. If this happens the back rest cushion may drop. In the event of a collision the seat belt may not fully restrain the passenger as intended.
On affected vehicles replace the mounting screws with additional sleeves.
BENCH SEAT MAY MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING
The beach seat base mounting screws may break when the bench is repeatedly repositioned to allow a flat load area. Should this happen a noise will be heard from the bench. In exceptional cases if the screw has broken this may cause a loss of protection during an impact.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the vehicle. A metal insert will be fitted between the seatback folding pivot and the mounting screw (left and right). Additionally the mounting screws (left and right) will also be replaced.
RISK OF FIRE
The fuse box seal could allow water intrusion into the fuse box which may create an electrical malfunction that could pose a fire hazard. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and fit a modified fuse box seal.
SIDE AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY OR THEY MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY
The airbag computer (ECU) incorrectly interprets the data provided by the lateral shock sensors and can reverse it. In the event of a side impact that is severe enough to cause side air bag deployment there is a risk of either non-deployment or activation of the airbags on the opposite side to the impact
On affected vehicles re-programme of the airbag ECU
RISK OF FIRE
The vehicles may have been manufactured with heat shields that are inadequate. The resulting issue could lead to the cab or cargo box overheating which may pose a fire hazard. Revised shields will also provide additional protection from flammable liquid spills that may pose a separate fire hazard. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected vehicles.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and inspect and replace the existing heat shielding. Install additional heat shielding.
RISK OF FIRE
The regulator could overheat and pose a fire hazard. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary repair the regulator fitment. Replace the regulator.
RISK OF FIRE
In the event of an engine misfire unburned fuel can be routed into the exhaust system which can cause excessive exhaust heat that may pose a fire hazard. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected vehicles.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and install a revised EU calibration to detect misfire and prevent excessive exhaust temperatures.
RISK OF FIRE
The vehicles may have been manufactured with an improperly routed fuel tank vent line (i) having insufficient clearance to the exhaust pipe; (ii) which may cause it to become kinked. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles. A fuel tank vent line with insufficient clearance to the exhaust pipe may pose a fire hazard. A kinked vent line can cause the fuel tank to build pressure and expand. The expansion of the fuel tank may result in contact of the spinning prop shaft which may result in a fuel leak.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and inspect the fuel tank vent line. Repair/reroute the vent line as necessary.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
Three vehicles have been built with extended chassis/wheel base. The Yaw sensor has been displaced to a spot which does not correspond to the specific location and position. It cannot be ruled out that undefined or incorrect brake intervention may occur in the event of ESP intervention. Additionally the sensor may not recognise critical situations. The above can lead to an increased risk of collision/incident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the location of the Yaw sensor. Where necessary move the sensor to the prescribed position.
REAR BRAKE MAY FAIL
The rear brake pipe joint may not have been sufficiently tightened when the machine was manufactured. Continuous use of the rear brake and vibration from riding may cause the brake pipe joint to leak brake fluid. Consequently when the rear brake lever is applied poor/no brake operation will result and in the worst case scenario a crash may occur.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and for all affected units the tightening torque of the pipe joint bolt will be checked if it passes inspection then fluid level will be topped up only if it fails then the bolt will be re-torqued and the brake system will be bled.
REAR FACING SEAT FRAME AND/OR SEAT BELTS MAY FAIL
Some of the seat frame bolts on the rear facing travel seats may not be tightened to the correct torque setting. This could compromise security of the seat frame and seat belt in the event of an accident.
On affected vehicles check and tighten bolts.
BONDING DEFICIENCY MAY CAUSE REFERENCE PLATES TO BECOME LOOSE
Aluminium reference plates become loose could overtime separate from the vehicle while driving and hit following traffic causing a risk of accidents or personal injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and re mount the plate as detailed in Technical Bulletin 16-04-012BUG
WINDOWS MAY DETACH
On vehicles with multi layered paint it is possible the layers may not have bonded as intended. This could allow the windscreen to detach in the event of excessive forces such as an accident. This may similarly affect bonded tie downs and/or super high roof.
Recall affected vehicles and check stability of the paint. Where necessary reapply paint to affected areas.
RISK OF SHORT-CIRCUIT IN BATTERY SUPPLY CABLE
On affected vehicles the right fron seat can compress the battery supply cable. Prolonged occurences coulld cause damage to the insulation and the cable may short out
Fit new cable guide to reroute supply cable. Check condition of supply cable and where necessary reinforce insulation . In rare instances the cable may require replacement.

SEATBELT MAY NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED
In the event of a high-speed collision principally in the frontal direction there is a possibility that the lap belt webbing on the outboard seats of the second row could contact a portion of the seat cushion frame become cut and separate.
On affected vehicles fit a plastic protector to the seat frame.

BONNET LOCK MAY FAIL
The tightening torque of both hood primary latch bolts may not be to specification and cause the locking function of the hood to not work correctly. The loosening of the hood latch screws under the influence of vibrations together with the aerodynamic pressure under the hood can lead to the bonnet not staying in the closed position.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the tightening torque of both hood primary latch bolts. Where necessary the bolts will be replaced.
