    DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE LOST

    Defect

    Bolts (identified by CFL marking on head) connecting the lower wishbone assemblies to the vehicle chassis may be out of specification and at risk of failure. The failure of a single bolt is expected to have no adverse effect on the handling or integrity of the vehicle. A secondary failure mode on more than one bolt is likely to result in an unstable vehicle that will be difficult to control and will not handle in a normal way. The risk is that the driver could lose control of the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where a lower wishbone assembly is found to besecured with bolts marked �CFL� the bolts will be replaced with a bolt manufactured by a different supplier. All eight bolts in the lower wishbone assemblies irrespective of the manufacturer of the originally fitted bolt will be replaced when one or more bolts with the �CFL� marking are replaced.

    RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND/OR FIRE

    Defect

    On the affected vehicles the end pipe of the auxiliary air heater may not have been routed correctly due to a cut out in the vehicle floor that is possibly missing. Exhaust from the auxiliary air heater is possibly not correctly diverted under the vehicle floor and could to some extent enter the vehicle interior. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and a risk of fire for the under floor panelling cannot be ruled out.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for the presence of the cut out on the affected vehicles and drill this if necessary. Also the correct routing for the end pipe must be checked and where necessary corrected.

    ENGINE MAY STALL

    Defect

    Under certain conditions condense water in the intake air can corrode the needle bearing housing. Due to corrosion of the bearing housing the sealing between intake air and the electrical actuator circuit of the throttle body might not be water tight anymore. In the condition that water enters in the throttle body actuator circuit the water might cause a throttle body position misreading or short circuit inside the throttle body electrical actuation mechanism. This might trigger the engine to stall while driving.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle body with a newly designed one. In addition the engine wire harness and the engine ECU will be inspected and replaced if necessary.

    POSSIBILITY OF VEHICLE FIRE

    Defect

    In the event the radiator cooling fan is blocked there is a risk that an electrical short circuit can occur. This in turn causes damage to the cooling fan module and in the worst case could potentially result in a vehicle fire.

    Remedy

    On affected vehicles check for presence of and if necessary remove battery cover. Ensure that the radiator cooling fan is not obstructed or blocked in anyway. Fit new additional wiring harness which will prevent damage to the radiator wiring harness.

    ENGINE MAY STALL

    Defect

    The 23 pin coupler between the main wire harness and the engine sub-harness may have had a seal compromised during assembly. This can allow water to corrode the connections and cause spurious signals to the Electronic Control Unit which can lead to enriched fuel supply and in the worst case the engine may stall.

    Remedy

    Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the main wiring harness and the engine sub-harness with new countermeasure parts.

    REAR WHEEL MAY LOCK-UP

    Defect

    The drive shaft universal joint bearing may fail because it has not have been manufactured to specification which can lead to drive force being lost and in worst case scenario if the universal joint breaks it may interfere with the swing arm and cause the rear wheel to lock-up. This may result in a reduction in stability control and increase the risk of a crash.

    Remedy

    Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the drive shaft.

    Defect

    There may be reduced clearance between the battery cable wiring loom and the exhaust manifold. There is a possibility that the wiring could contact the manifold and result a short circuit and possible engine compartment fire.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and apply additional heat resistant foil tape to the wiring loom and secure it away from the exhaust manifold using an additional clip fitted to the inner wing panel.

    BRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED

    Defect

    The front wheel arch liners may have been incorrectly positioned which may cause them to rub against the front brake hoses. In rare circumstances this could cause a low leakage from both front flexible brake hose leading to gradual increased brake pedal travel in extreme cases a sudden bursting of the flexible hose with sudden increased brake travel and a resultant affect on the braking efficiency. A warning light indicating a low brake fluid level will be displayed on the dashboard.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the front wheel arch liners and brake hoses. Where necessary reposition the wheel arch liners and replace the brake hose/s.
