FIRE MAY OCCUR
The ground wiring for the air conditioning blower within the cockpit harness may not be to specification. This can lead to the wire getting hot and melting the plastic insulation and associated burning smell. If ignored and the loom gets significantly damaged there is a possibility of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the earth wire. Where other wiring/insulation is affected necessary repairs will be carried out using the correct repair procedures.
FRONT SEATBELTS MAY NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED
It has been identified that the front seatbelt anchorage links may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. If the link is subjected to an abnormal force then it may not perform as required.
Recall all the affected vehicles to check the link and if required replace it.

BRAKE PEDAL MAY LOOSEN
It is possible for the servo mounting bolts to loosen. If the noises are ignored over time it is possible for the brakes to be compromised.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the brake pedal/servo mounting nuts.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
A fault could cause the fuel tank fuel pump to stop working. This will cause fuel starvation to the engine and will result in the engine cutting out without warning.
Fitting of an overlay wiring harness. The overlay wiring harness reconfigures the electrical distribution to the FPDM to utilize a relay to supply the fuel pump power feed. The relay is not affected by the in rush current drawn by the fuel pump and so ensures robust operation.
TRANSMISSION MAY FAIL
The gear shift cam segment stopper may develop a fatigue crack. If not identified this could result in the inability of the rider to select gears.
Recall all affected machines to replace the gear shift shaft with a new remedial component.
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY FAIL
On affected vehicles the low beam wire to the relay may internally fracture due to expansion and contraction. This may lead to the low beam not working when the engine bay is hot and the wire has expanded. When the wire cools the low beam may be re-connected.
Modify wiring on affected vehicles.
TRANSMISSION MAY FAIL
The gear shift cam segment stopper may develop a fatigue crack. If not identified this could result in the inability of the rider to select gears.
Recall all affected machines to replace the gear shift shaft with a new remedial component.

UNINTENDED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
Following deactivation of the passenger airbag via the dashboard menu with the ignition on the passenger airbag may be reactivated following a fast cycling (less than 2 seconds) of the ignition key (on-off-on). The passenger airbag deactivation warning light would also have been switched off but the driver may not notice. In a collision and in certain conditions an unintended airbag deployment may contribute to a loss of further control or injury to driver and/or passengers.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag control unit.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag control unit.
FUEL MAY LEAK
On affected vehicles the fuel pressure sensor may not have been tightened to the correct specification. Heat and engine vibration may cause the sensor to loosen and in extreme cases allow fuel to leak.
Tighten fuel pressure sensor on affected vehicles
SEATBELTS MAY MALFUNCTION IN A COLLISION
Due to an error in the manufacturing process the seat belt buckle may not retain the belt during a frontal impact.
On affected vehicles check build date of seat belt assembly and replace if necessary.
RISK OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
Due to an error in the engine ECU software it is possible that the vehicle will suffer an unintended acceleration or not able to decelerate. The driver should still be able to control the vehicle by applying the brakes and manipulating the clutch and gears.
Recall all affected vehicles to reprogram the engine ECU with new software.
REAR BRAKE MAY FAIL
A clip to hold the engine breather pipe may have been fitted facing the wrong way and could be in contact with the rear brake. In this scenario the brake pipe could be damaged to the extent it will eventually leak and cause a loss of pressure to the rear brake.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to inspect the position of the engine breather pipe clip. Where the clip is facing the wrong way the brake pipe will be replaced and the clip put in the correct position.
BRAKES COULD FAIL
The front wheel spacer/s may be of the incorrect size. The resultant play will allow the wheel to move on the axle which in turn can cause damage to the brake discs fork tubes and ABS sensor. The brake calliper piston could be pushed back sufficiently to cause total failure of the front brakes.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check for visible or measureable play between the axle clamp spacer and hub. If the incorrect spacer/s has been fitted they will be replaced with the correct spacers. Any resultant damage will be rectified.
STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED
The front axle wishbone mounting nuts may not have been tightened to the correct specification. The driver may experience noise from the front axle or find the steering becomes vague.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the torque tightening of the axle wishbone nuts or replace if required.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
A seal between bonnet and engine compartment may when the bonnet is opened temporarily stick to the bonnet. If this happens the seal may detach form its fixing and can fall into the gap between engine and partition wall. It is then possible the seal can make contact with the exhaust and under certain conditions catch fire.
On affected vehicles install additional clips to retain the seal.

18 INCH ALLOY WHEELS MAY BECOME INSECURE
18 inch alloy wheels may develop cracking at high mileages in excess of 62000 miles. This may lead to a loss of clamping force at the wheel bolts and in a worse case scenario wheel detachment.
On affected vehicles replace all four wheels.
BRAKE PEDAL MAY LOOSEN
It is possible for the servo mounting bolts to loosen. If the noises are ignored over time it is possible for the brakes to be compromised.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the brake pedal/servo mounting nuts.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The parking brake cable may not have been assembled correctly which can result in either the inability to apply the parking brake or the inability to release the parking brake.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the parking brake cable.
SEAT FRAME MAY FAIL
The integrity of the front seat bench frame for the passengers may be compromised because of non-compliance during the manufacturing processes. Customer may hear noises coming from underneath the bench. They may also notice some cracking on the seat frame angles. If the seat fails during a collision the passengers have an elevated risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the seat frame. Replace the seat where necessary.
