STEERING MAY BE AFFECTED
During production the bolt and nut which secures the universal joint to the steering shaft may not have been tightened correctly on production. This may cause irregularities in steering operation.
Check components and bolt tightness . Replace components where necessary
LOSS OF STABILITY
The subject vehicles are equipped with the Anti-Lock Braking system (ABS) Traction Control System (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC) which are controlled by the ABS actuator. Due to the improper shape of a component inside the ABS actuator there is a possibility that a resin component could be damaged during its press fitting assembly creating minute resin fragment(s) which could become stuck in the actuator. If this occurs the oil pressure control may be delayed when the Anti-Lock Brakes are activated causing a loss of vehicle stability and increasing the risk of a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary replace the ABS Actuator with a new one.

POTENTIAL DETACHMENT OF THE WHEEL
A particular batch of Knott bearings wheel bearings are known to have a defective seal and these bearings are exhibiting premature failure in service with the possibility of total bearing collapse. Signs of failure include: excessive grease leakage into dust cap and onto drum face rumbling bearing when wheel is spun by hand and noticeable play in bearing when wheel is rocked by hand. If the above signs are ignored it is possible for the wheel and hub to detach and the stability of the trailer to be adversely affected.
The owners of the trailers will be alerted to the concern via a letter and also told to check for failure indicators daily until the bearings have been replaced with quality assured units.

SIDE RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED
The threaded connection of the crash sensors at the B-pillars may not be to specification. There is a possibility that the side restraint system may trigger too late or not at all in the event of a side impact which may pose an increased risk of injury for the vehicle occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary correct the threaded connection of the crash sensors at both the left and right B-pillars.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The stator output may be insufficient to charge the battery which can lead to the speedometer not functioning and the engine may possibly stall and fail to restart.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the stator.
GEARBOX MAY NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED
The wiring loom connected to the transmission oil pump may chafe against a support bracket and damage the wiring.. Damaged wiring may cause loss of drive or adversely affect gear changes.
Check the wiring for any damage and repair as required. If the wiring is not damaged reposition the wiring.
REAR AXLE MAY SEIZE
The rear axle pinion nut has been assembled without the use of a thread adhesive which could allow the pinion nut to loosen. As a result the propshaft detach form the vehicle or the final drive could seize.
On affected vehicles check security of pinion nut. Dependant on outcome fit a pinion nut retainer or recondition final drive assembly.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The internal overflow pipe in some fuel tanks may not be completely enclosed by plastic. This overflow pipe is secured on the inside of the tank by two threaded inserts. Fuel can penetrate the threaded inserts which can lead to fuel leaking in small quantities.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check the type of tank. If the tank is of the latest pattern no further action is necessary. If the tank is old pattern and if there is any sign of leakage at the threaded inserts a new tank must be fitted. If the tank is old pattern and has no leakage seals will be fitted to the threaded inserts.
LOSS OF STEERING ASSISTANCE
A hose for the power steering assistance hydraulics could come into contact with the cooling fan. This would cause a noise which an observant driver may be able to hear. If the hose and fan conflict for long enough then it is possible for the hose to leak power steering fluid to the degree that servo assistance could be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the hydraulic hose for damage and relace as necessary. The hose will then be secured with a modified bracket.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag the subject propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants.
On affected vehicles replace passenger front air bag inflator.
LOSS OF CONTROL
Anti-Roll bars of incorrect specification have been fitted to vehicles equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Constantly Variable Damping (CVD). In this mis-built condition at the extremes of adhesion and in an over steer situation the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system will not mitigate the over steer. The drivers will most likely loose vehicle control of the vehicle. This can increase the risk of a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the rear Anti-roll bar with the correct specification component.
DRIVERS AIRBAG MAY RUPTURE IF DEPLOYED
Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment potentially causing injury to a vehicle occupant.
On affected vehicles replace the drivers airbag module.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled upward toward the windshield or downward toward the front passenger�s foot well potentially causing injury to a vehicle occupant.
On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the front passenger�s airbag module with a new one.

LOSS OF CONTROL
The low tyre pressure warning message may be incorrect. This could allow the continued use of the vehicle with incorrect tyre pressures which may affect steering control.
On affected vehicles update the tyre pressure warning program.
