FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel filter's integrated heater may be defective and could cause the cover to distort. This could cause air ingress and fuel egress. Either could cause poor starting and a warning light should illuminate
On affected vehicles replace fuel heater cover. Check and if necessary replace connector.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
An engine harness may not have been routed correctly during assembly. This may chafe and cause engine malfunction. In extreme cases the engine may cut out.
On affected vehicles inspect harness and repair as necessary. Fit new bracket and secure harness.

REDUCED BRAKING EFFICIENCY
Non-conformant front brake master cylinders have been installed on a specific batch vehicles. These non-conformant parts may have a defective hydraulic circuit which in certain conditions may result in longer than normal braking distances.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check the batch number of the front brake master cylinder. Where a master cylinder from the affected batch is found it will be replaced.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module may stick between the �START� and �RUN� position. This could cause an unintended change in ignition position to the �OFF� or �ACCESSORY� position due to spring back. This may cause may result in the loss of certain electrical features and/or a loss of engine power power steering assist and/or power brake booster assist.
Replace the WIN module and Frequency Operated Button Ignition Key (FOBIK�s).

LOSS OF STABILITY
The connection between the steering knuckle and the lower control arm may not be assembled correctly. If this condition is evident the connection could become insecure. The event can happen suddenly and unexpectedly in which case the vehicle is no longer controllable.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the connection between the steering knuckle and the lower control arm on both sides of the vehicle. Where necessary the connection will be reassembled correctly.

REAR BRAKE MAY APPLY UNEXPECTEDLY AND CREATE FIRE RISK
The check valve orifice in the brake system may block with deposits resulting in rear brake drag. The unexpected braking/dragging increases the risk of a crash and continued riding may generate sufficient heat to cause fire.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and drain the complete brake system. Replace the secondary master cylinder and rear brake master cylinder. Flush the brake system and then refill and bleed.
FUEL MAY LEAK
After repeated activation of the fuel heater cover in cold conditions an electric connector the fuel heater cover may overheat. This may allow air ingress which could cause difficulty starting the engine or engine stalling. In extreme cases fuel may leak onto the road surface.
Check the condition of the heated diesel filter cover and connector. If deteriorated or damaged replace the cover or connector.
STEERING MAY NOT BEHAVE AS DESIGNED
The engine current sensors have not been calibrated correctly which could lead to an increased recuperation torque during vehicle deceleration. An increased recuperation torque during deceleration could lead to a vehicle oversteer condition in the i3 and vehicle understeer condition in the i8. This could lead to skidding on slippery roads during driving.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and calibrate sensors for measuring the engine current.

DRIVESHAFT MAY FAIL
The propshaft slide joint may not have been lubricated during manufacture
On affected vehicles check propshaft and hwere necessary replace propshaft.

RISK OF FIRE
Affected vehicles are equipped with a driver�s side Power Window Master Switch (PWMS) containing sliding electrical contact modules. These modules may not have been incorrectly coated during the manufacturing process. This may cause a short circuit which could cause the switch to overheat and melt
Inspect switch and apply coating. If switch indicates signs of malfunction it should be replaced.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
In rare cases the propulsion control unit may send an incorrect message. This may cause the electric power train to shut down. Power can be restored by the normal start sequence.
Update software on affected vehicles.

SEATBELT MECHANISM MAY MALFUNCTION
The threaded connections of the seatbelts at the B-Pillars were possibly not tightened with the required torque. If the required torque is not present it is possible the threaded connection may loosen further. In the event of a loosened threaded connection the intended restraint effect of the seat belt cannot be guaranteed in the event of a collision and the risk of injury during an event may possibly be increased.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check and where necessary tighten the threaded connection.
