OIL MAY LEAK
On vehicles with DUONIC transmission the feed hose to the oil cooler may burst resulting in loss of clutch operation and leak oil onto the road.
Check type of hose fitted and if necessary replace hose.
LOSS OF POWER
The inverter assembly may overheat which will cause warning lamps to illuminate and the vehicle to enter a fail safe mode. Fail safe allows the vehicle to be driven on reduced power to a place of safety. However it is possible for the hybrid system to shut down causing the vehicle to stop which increases the risk of a collision.
On affected vehicles reprogramme the Motor Generator and Power Management ECUs.

POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
In order for proper regeneration of the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) system the vehicle in the active regeneration mode directs the driver by illuminating the DPF warning light to drive the vehicle at constant speed without interruption until the DPF warning light turns off. In the event that the driver ignores the DPF warning light and the corresponding direction the DPF system as well as exhaust pipe will be abnormally overheated. This may cause a fire at the Lower Engine Compartment Cover located near the DPF system and exhaust pipe.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and initially remove and discard the Lower Engine Compartment Cover. When parts are available the vehicles will be recalled to have the new Lower Engine Compartment Cover fitted.
UNINTENDED VEHICLE BRAKING
Due to an error in production the Radar Brake Support System may not have been correctly programmed. In certain instances the system may not recalibrate and could cause unnecessary braking.
Reprogram the Radar Brake Support Control unit.
TRAILER MAY DETACH
The trailer swan neck may have been weakened around the drilling for the brake rod. This may cause the swan neck to fracture and in extreme instances the trailer may detach from the towing vehicle.
Reinforce swan neck with specific manufacturer designed flitch plate.
DUMP BODY MAY LIFT OR LOWER INADVERTENTLY
Loose components within the dumper body operating unit may cause the dumper body to rise or fall unintentionally.
Replace housing on operating unit and where required replace wiring harness.
AXLE MAY BECOME INSECURE
The mounting screws for the steered axles may not have been tightened correctly at the factory. If the screws are not fully tight the screws may undo and in the very worst case scenario if warnings are not heeded lead to the axle/s becoming insecure with the attendent loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check torque of the axle screws. Where necessary the axle locating pin will be checked and new screws fitted. Additionally where necessary the suspension anchorage will be replaced.

FRONT WHEELS MAY LOCK
The retaining bolts for the front calipers may not have been tightened to the specified torque. The caliper may loosen wedge against the wheel rim and lock the wheel. Detachment of the caliper may happen.
On affected vehicles replace all front caliper retaining bolts.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The lower pinion needle bearing may have been omitted during manufacture of the steering gear due to insufficient controls in the suppliers manufacturing process. It is possible the pinion may disengage from the steering gear with loss of steering control.
On affected vehicles inspect and where necessary replace rack.

On affected vehicles inspect and where necessary replace rack.
BACKREST MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY IN A COLLISION
The fitting for the backrest frame to the front seats (mounting of backrest to seat frame) may not have been correctly welded. This can cause noises on the front seats and in an accident the backrest/s can break. There is an increased risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the production date of the backrest frames of the front seats. Where the date is within the affected range the backrest/s will be replaced.
ENGINE PUSH START SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION
On affected models with a push start ignition switch the switch may remain in the pressed position and not return after switching the engine on. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition the emergency engine stop function may operate and cause the engine to unintentionally stop.
Inspect and where necessary modify the push start switch housing.
ENGINE PUSH START SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION
On affected models with a push start ignition switch the switch may remain in the pressed position and not return after switching the engine on. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition the emergency engine stop function may operate and cause the engine to unintentionally stop.
Inspect and where necessary modify the push start switch housing.
VEHICLE DOOR(S) MAY OPEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION
The door could be unlatched when in the closed position and no indication provided of an unlatched condition. Vehicle doors not latched in either the primary of secondary state may during driving open. This can increase the risk of a vehicle crash and/or compromise the safety of vehicle occupants and other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the latest level of software. A limited number of vehicles may also require a Remote Function Actuator module to be fitted.

ENGINE MAY START INADVERTENTLY
Repeated key insertion could create intense wear condition on the trigger of the ignition cylinder internal component. As consequence Engine starter motor might self-crank and the vehicle moves involuntarily if the ignition key has been left in the ignition lock cylinder in the LOCK (OFF) position and a gear engaged. The concern only affects vehicles with manual transmission.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a modified ignition Key cylinder.
IN A COLLISION CORRECT EMISSION OF LPG GAS MAY NOT OCCUR
In a fire the LPG may not exhaust from the tank effectively. Therefore there is risk of the LPG fuel tank exploding causing further risk to occupants and any other person near the scene.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected (Europa 1) and replace the affected valve with a modified type (Europa 2).

MACHINE MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE
The lower radiator hose is fitted in close proximity and may come into contact with an exhaust pipe clamp. It is possible for the hose to wear through and leak coolant. If not noted and rectified it is possible for the engine to be damaged.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and inspect the hose. Where there is little or no damage replace the hose retainer. Where necessary fit hose and hose retainer.
FRONT SEATS MAY NOT BE SECURED ACORDING TO SPECIFICATION
The threaded connections to the rear of the front seats may not have been tightened correctly. In the case of a serious vehicle accident the seat connection may not function as designed resulting in an elevated risk of injury to the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary correct the torque of the connections at the rear of the front seats.
FUEL LEAK WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
The affected machines have been manufactured with Fuel Pump Nuts that do not meet Polaris quality standards. As a result of a manufacturing defect the nut may crack near the top of the cap and a fuel leak could occur. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could create a fire hazard.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the old fuel pump nut with one of a modified design.
