    DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE LOST

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the in tank fuel pump with a modified version.

    SIPS SYSTEM MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN REQUIRED

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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.

    POSSIBILITY OF FIRE

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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.

    REAR AXLE MAY BECOME LOOSE

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recall all likely to be affected vehicles to install an additional clip to the jet pump.

    VEHICLE MAY SHUT DOWN

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to update the engine control unit software.
