SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILURE
The rear suspension wishbone may not be correctly secured to the rear upright. It is required to fix the wishbone ball joint with a 12mm nut and washer. If the rear suspension has been assembled without the necessary washer this can lead to a suspension system failure which can in turn adversely affect the directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check if the subject washers are fitted. Where necessary washers and a new nut will be fitted to the rear suspension.
LOSS OF BRAKING
Brake chambers fitted to the rear axles may not have been correctly manufactured and could fail. This could cause loss of braking.
Replace brake chambers on affected vehicles.
ECU MALFUNCTION MAY CAUSE SYSTEMS TO BECOME INOPERABLE
During operation the headlights and or the windscreen wipers amongst other systems may become inoperable as a result a none conformity in the Electronic Time & Alarm System (ETACS) ECU.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the production date of the ETACS ECU. The ETACS ECU will be replaced if it is within the affected production dates.
ECU MALFUNCTION MAY CAUSE SYSTEMS TO BECOME INOPERABLE
During operation the headlights and or the windscreen wipers amongst other systems may become inoperable as a result a none conformity in the Electronic Time & Alarm System (ETACS) ECU.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the production date of the ETACS ECU. The ETACS ECU will be replaced if it is within the affected production dates.
LOSS OF STABILITY
Small resin fragments may have been left in the Electronic Stability Control unit during production. These fragments may cause the ESC valves to stick and delay operation of the ABS/ESC systems.
Replace the ESC unit.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the motor control unit (MCU) which controls the electric motor may decrease. As a result the voltage in the circuit may become unstable causing the warning light to illuminate and the driving motor power to be restricted to the fail safe control. In the worst case scenario the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the battery may not be able to be charged.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine MCU.
EPS SYSTEM MAY MALFUNCTION
A connector pin for the electronic power steering may not be to specification. This will lead to increased resistance in the circuit causing the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) to stop working. The steering will still function in manual mode requiring increased input from the driver. The EPS warning lamp may illuminate temporarily.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the EPS Gear and Link assembly.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The steering column to steering gear UJ clamp bolt may not have been tightened to design specification.
On affected vehicle check joints for damage and replace where necessary. Check tightness of the retaining bolt. Replace lock nut.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The steering column to steering gear UJ clamp bolt may not have been tightened to design specification.
On affected vehicle check joints for damage and replace where necessary. Check tightness of the retaining bolt. Replace lock nut.
TOW BAR MAY FAIL
A non approved tow bar was fitted during manufacture. The rating of the fitted towbar is below the vehicles approved gross train mass (GTM) and could fail if the vehicle is loaded to it's maximum GTM.
On affected vehicles Replace tow bar with an approved towbar of the correct rating.
1. ENGINE MAY STALL. 2. RISK OF FIRE.
During assembly of the starter relay switch sealant may have been applied incorrectly which could increase resistance across the main fuse. This may cause non starting stalling or in extreme instances a risk of fire.
On affected machines check the starter magnetic switch and loom connection. Replace starter magnetic switch and/or loom as necessary.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The fuel level gauge arm holder at the fuel pump may swell during hot weather riding conditions and may become weakened. Under the riding condition of deceleration and immediate acceleration the fuel wave created inside the fuel tank causes higher load on the float arm and it could become detached from its holder. If the fuel float arm becomes detached it could result in fuel indicator error abnormal noise from fuel tank or in worst case engine stall should the arm contact the fuel pump terminals.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace complete fuel pump /float arm unit.

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace complete fuel pump /float arm unit.
HYDRAULIC FLUID MAY LEAK
Damage and leaks at the elastomer stop plug of the return line to the hydraulic valve block may occur due to sudden pressure peaks in the hydraulic system. It could therefore be possible that up to 40 litres of hydraulic fluid to escape in a short time unnoticed by the driver. If this damage occurs the vehicle can still be stopped safely. The hydraulic fluid that escapes will increase the risk of collision for other road users
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the elastomer stop plug at the hydraulic valve block with an appropriate screw plug.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The insulation on the ignition switch harness may rub on the underside of the fuel tank. This can lead to an electrical short which may cause the engine to stall and increase the risk of injury to the rider pillion and other road users.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and inspect the ignition wiring located under the fuel tank. Where necessary the ignition switch (wiring attached) will be replaced. A wiring protection kit will be installed on all machines.
RISK OF FIRE
It is possible for an oil leak to occur from the O-Ring on the Oil Delivery Pipe where it enters the engine case because of improper assembly of the components. If a leak occurs oil could leak onto the exhaust and in extreme circumstances the oil could catch fire.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the Oil Delivery Pipe O-Ring.
EXIT DOOR MAY TRAP PASSENGERS
The anti-trap sensor on the exit door's leading edge may not operate as intended. This could trap a person or object in the door during closing
Adjust and modify door closing operation.
LOSS OF CONTROL
The electric power steering system may still be set in the factory operating mode. In this condition where another defect arises with the electric power steering system the driver may experience additional unexpected steering inputs from the electric power steering system. These additional system generated steering inputs may exceed the ability of a normal driver who may lose vehicle control with no warning. This can increase the risk of a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either 1. inspect the electronic power steering software version and where necessary download the correct software or 2. where the vehicle is not accessible to the supplier due to logistical reasons the dealer will replace the steering rack with a steering rack built to the correct specification.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The engine may stall when the throttle position is at idle and the clutch lever pulled. This as a result of a software issue and in some case the air intake may not be �leak tight�.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to download new soft ware to the engine management Electronic Control Unit and ensure the air intake unit is �leak tight�.
ROOF WINDOW GLASS MAY DETACH
The roof window glass may not have been correctly installed . This may allow the glass to separate from its frame. Initially this will lead to wind noise but continued use could cause the glass to detach from the frame.
Replace roof glass.
DRIVER'S AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The driver's air bag may not correctly deploy because of a faulty welding process on the gas generator. In an air bag deployment the effect of the faulty welding process is to limit the protection and thereby increase the risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver's air bag.
WIRING FAULT COULD RESULT IN USER RECEIVING ELECTRIC SHOCK
When charging the battery externally from the vehicle there is a possibility that the earth provision for some sides of charger enclosure may not function. This is due to the anodising and bonding of the charger enclosure not being sufficiently conductive. For the unit to be affected the hot AC wire must detach and contact a part of the charger enclosure that does not have effective earth provision. If the above situation occurs the user could be subject to an electric shock.
A power supply cable with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter will be supplied for all affected charger units.
VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE DUE TO REAR SUSPENSION FAULT
The rear suspension trailing arm bolts may have not have been tightened to the correct specification during assembly.. There is a possibility that the bolt/s could fail causing underbody knocking noise.
Replace the trailing arm nuts and bolts and tighten to the correct torque
OIL MAY LEAK
On affected vehicles the transmission oil cooler return pipe may not have been mounted correctly. It is possible vibration may cause the pipe to fail and leak oil.
Correctly mount oil cooler pipes.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
The welding of the bracket for the torsion bar linkage at the shock absorber may not be to specification. It is therefore possible with extremely high loads for the weld seams of the bracket to tear. In this condition the driving characteristics of the vehicle will be adversely affected and the tyres could be compromised at large steering angles giving an increased risk of collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front shock absorbers.
