STEERING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
On certain vehicles the steering rack retaining bolts may not have been made to the correct specification. Under heavy loads and vibration the bolt(s) may break. This can adversely affect the steering though the driver may notice changes in steering characteristics in the first instance
Replace rack steering retaining bolts
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE LOST
On vehicles with torsion beam rear axle the trailing arm of the rear axle can be deformed in a rear impact of the vehicle or when reversing too quickly over a relatively high obstacle (such as very high kerbs). If this deformation or pre-damage is not recognised a trailing arm of the rear axle can suddenly break later because of the related weakening of the rear axle.
On vehicles which have been involved in a rear impact or reversed at speed over a high obstacle. The trailing arm of the torsion beam rear axle is checked for accident damage and replaced if necessary. In other instances a brace plate will be fitted to the trailing arms.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The in tank fuel pump may contain sub components that have not been correctly nickel plated. This may cause excessive friction leading to the fuel pump being inoperative. The driver may experience a no start condition or in the worst case an engine stall. A warning lamp and error message will display. Steering and brakes will still function.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the in tank fuel pump with a modified version.
REAR SHOCK ABSORBER MAY FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MACHINE
The rear shock absorber piston rod nut may come loose. The shock absorber performance may be affected possibly causing a loss of machine control.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check if the machine is fitted with an affected shock absorber.Any affected shock absorbers will be removed and returned to Ohlins service centre for counter measure repair.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
Moisture can ingress and accumulate inside the ABS control unit. Excessive accumulation of moisture may cause a fire.
On affected vehicles install an additional ABS module protection cover.

SIPS SYSTEM MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN REQUIRED
It has been identified that the wiring harness for the Side Impact Protection System airbag (SIPS) on the drivers and passengers front seats may have been routed incorrectly. This could result in the wiring harness becoming damaged which will illuminate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) light on the instrument panel. If the SRS light is illuminated then additional care should be taken when driving the vehicle as SRS functions may be affected.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the routing of the wiring harness and if required reroute it and repair any damage.
BEARING FAILURE MAY OCCUR
Certain axles were fitted with bearing units which may exhibit premature wear in certain trailer applications. Prolonged use in these applications may result in degradation of the bearing grease. Early indicators may include noise roughness excessive end-play high running temperatures and ABS signal error. This may lead to bearing failure axle damage and/or in extreme instances wheel located fire.
Depending on trailer application either replace hub units or check and retorque hub assembly. Where retorquing is considered adequate recheck for symptoms and if necessary replace bearing.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel filler assembly may fracture at the top of the neck. If the neck becomes detached this will result in the leakage of fuel vapour.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel filler neck.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL
The fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones may not be to the correct specification. This could lead to the bolts failing and the security of the wishbones being compromised. If this occurs there is a possibility that the directional control of the vehicle could be adversely affected.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected and replace all the fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
The fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones may not be to the correct specification. This could lead to the bolts failing and the security of the wishbones being compromised. If this occurs there is a possibility that the directional control of the vehicle could be adversely affected.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected and replace all the fixing bolts of the front suspension wishbones.
LOSS OF CONTROL
The tyres fitted to affected vehicles are incompatible with the weight capacity of the vehicle. This may cause a tyre failure due to incorrect loading of the vehicle.
Replace existing tyres with those of a load index compatible with the vehicle's weight capacity.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
The wiring harness for the left hand radiator could be touching a heat guide plate made of carbon fibre. Therefore the harness could be damaged causing the radiator fan to stop working and an electric short circuit to the low resistance heat guide plate cannot be ruled out. This electric short circuit can cause the vehicle to catch fire even a long time after stopping the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the routing of the wiring harness and the harness condition. The harness must be secured to the water tube using an additional tie wrap clamp. If the wire harness is damaged it must also be repaired.
TAILGATE MAY DROP ABRUPTLY AFTER IT IS OPENED
Due to a gradual gas leak inside the left-hand tailgate strut the strut may become unable to support the opened tailgate. The tailgate may drop abruptly after first opening normally potentially causing serious injuries to persons present in the opening range of the tailgate.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replaced the left hand gas strut.
REAR AXLE MAY BECOME LOOSE
The semi-trailing arms of the rear axle might not have been correctly tightened at the factory. This could lead to the arms being insecure from the connection to the skeleton. This in turn could allow the rear drive axle to also be insecure and adversely affect the stability of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the torque for the screwed connections of the semi-trailing arms at the skeleton end and replace connections with new ones where necessary.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It is possible on certain petrol (gasoline) vehicles that the mounting hooks for the jet pump may not have been manufactured to specification. The jet pump is mounted on top of the fuel delivery module in the fuel tank and if the mounting hooks were to fail it will result in the jet pump detaching from the module and a possible fall in fuel pressure. This fall in fuel pressure could either result in the engine not starting or in worst cases causing the engine to cut out or stall. This could affect the drivers ability to control the vehicle.
Recall all likely to be affected vehicles to install an additional clip to the jet pump.
VEHICLE MAY SHUT DOWN
Due to a software code error it is possible that the 1.6ltr 4 cylinder diesel engines may suffer a stalling situation during the warm-up phase and where the engine is subjected to high load requirements. However if the engine does stall it can be immediately restarted and the vehicle can be driven without restrictions. Furthermore all safety systems remain fully functional.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the engine control unit software.
