BRAKES MAY APPLY WITHOUT WARNING OR LONGER THAN EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES COULD OCCUR
The brake hoses for the front spring actuators are of insufficient length and the hoses for the front service brakes could be of insufficient length. In certain circumstances the hoses can detach from the nipple allowing the parking brakes to apply or in the case of service brake hose failure longer than expecting stopping distances could occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front spring brake hoses and where necessary front service brake hoses with ones of sufficient length.
STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The bolt retaining the trailing arm to the front air bellows support may not be tightened to manufacturer specifications. In extreme cases the bolt can work loose and may interfere with a steering link. This can cause the steering to stick for a brief period.
On affected vehicles check tightness of bolts and where necessary tighten to the correct specification.

On affected vehicles check tightness of bolts and where necessary tighten to the correct specification.
GEARBOX PROP SHAFT MAY DETACH
The balance weight on the prop shaft may detach. This can lead to the prop shaft becoming insecure and in extreme cases where the concern is not rectified the prop shaft can detach. This will lead to significant damage to the vehicle and increase the risk of a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replaced the balance weight on the prop shaft.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
Underbody brake pipe unions may not have been tightened to the specified torque. This may cause loss of brake fluid extended brake pedal travel and if both circuits fail loss of braking performance. The Fluid level low message may appear and the brake warning lamp may illuminate. In some instances sufficient loss of brake fluid may prevent the vehicle from starting.
On affected vehicles inspect unions and where necessary tighten unions to specified torque. Check brake fluid level and where necessary top up to correct level
FAILURE OF FRONT INDICATORS MAY NOT BE SIGNALLED TO THE RIDER
The failure of a front turn signal bulb may not be signalled to the rider. The concern is a result of incorrect programming of the Body Control Module.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and re programme the Body Control Module.
LOSS OF CONTROL
The front shock absorber rod may have an internal fault which could cause it to brake. This could have an adverse affect on the front suspension and the driver's ability to control the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace both front shock absorbers.
LOSS OF CONTROL
The front shock absorber rod may have an internal fault which could cause it to brake. This could have an adverse affect on the front suspension and the driver's ability to control the vehicle.
On affected vehicles replace both front shock absorbers.
INDICATORS MAY NOT FUNCTION
The indicator relay may not be correctly located. Movement may cause a wire to break and render the indicator inoperative.
Fit new indicator relay wiring kit.
LOSS OF CONTROL
On affected vehicles nuts securing the draglink(s) may not have been tightened to the correct specification during production. There is a risk that a drag link could detach and steering control would be lost.
On affected vehicles check tighness of securing nuts and if necessary tighten to correct specification.
LOSS OF CONTROL
On affected vehicles nuts securing the draglink(s) may not have been tightened to the correct specification during production. There is a risk that a drag link could detach and steering control would be lost.
On affected vehicles check tighness of securing nuts and if necessary tighten to correct specification.
HANDBRAKE MAY NOT APPLY FULLY
On affected vehciles the handbrake adjustment may not have been correctly set during manufacture. This may cause the handbrake to be ineffective unless applied to it's full extent.
On affected vehicles check handbrake setting and adjust if necessary.
FRONT AXLE COMPONENT PARTS MAY CRACK
The front axle has been fitted with chassis components whose durability cannot be guaranteed. The lower control arms can start to crack and eventually break which will result in the vehicle handling being impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the lower control arms.
THE INCORRECT GEAR MAYBE SELECTED
It has been identified that the reverse gear locking collar on the gear lever may not have been manufacturered to specification. This could result the incorret selection of gears.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the locking collar.
THE INCORRECT GEAR MAY BE SELECTED
On affected vehicles the gear lever reverse locking ring might not be to the correct specification. This could cause difficulty in selecting first and reverse gear or an error when changing between 1st and reverse..
Replace the gear lever reverse locking collar.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel pipes connecting the fuel pump to fuel injection nozzles may crack. If not attend to the crack can widen and leak fuel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit new injector pipes and brackets.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
On affected vehicles the ABS valve may stick. The brakes will still function but the driver may experience a spongy feel when operating the brake pedal or excessive pedal travel.
Carry out diagnostic check on ABS system. If outcome is within manufacturers specification drain and replace brake fluid. If outcome is not within manufacturer's specification replace ABS valve and drain and replace brake fluid.
UNDER EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES TRANSMISSION MAY DETACH
It has been identified that due to an issue during the casting process of the front of the transmission casing the casting may become cracked during the release phase of the operation. If the vehicle is driven at high speed in this condition the crack can grow and cause a vibration. In an extreme case the transmission may detach from the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the transmission casing for cracks and replace any transmission are found to be cracked.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identified that due to a software error the traction motor inverter may incorrectly diagnose communication between the inverter and the transmission control module (TCM). This can cause the inverter system to suddenly shut down. If the vehicle is being driven in Electric Vehicle (EV i.e. engine off) the power to the electric motor may be cut resulting in the vehicle coming to a sudden stop.
Recall all affected vehicles to install new software for the traction motor inverter control module.
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
It has been identified that under certain circumstances the throttle position sensor may send an error signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). As a result the ECM may not operate as intended and the vehicle may accelerate gradually without the driver operating the throttle pedal. However this acceleration can be overridden by application of the brakes.
Recall all affected vehicles to install new software of the ECM.
VEHICLE MAY CUT OUT
It has been identified that due to a software error the traction motor inverter may incorrectly diagnose communication between the inverter and the transmission control module (TCM). This can cause the inverter system to suddenly shut down. If the vehicle is being driven in Electric Vehicle (EV i.e. engine off) the power to the electric motor may be cut resulting in the vehicle coming to a sudden stop.
Recall all affected vehicles to install new software for the traction motor inverter control module.
VEHICLE MAY LOSE DRIVE WHEN PARKED IN 'P' ROLL AWAY
On affected vehicles the right hand drive shaft outer CV Joint may fail during harsh cornering / U Turns. This will lead to loss of drive and if only parked in 'P' (autobox) or in gear (manual box) without the parking brake applied the vehicle could roll away.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right hand drive shaft.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
Some front right hand brake callipers were produced with an incorrect chamfer dimension. With an incorrect chamfer it is possible that the oil seal gets damaged and that a brake fluid leak occurs. If a leak occurs the driver will notice the illumination of the brake warning lamps.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front right hand brake calliper.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE REDUCED
On affected vehicles the ABS valve may stick. The brakes will still function but the driver may experience a spongy feel when operating the brake pedal or excessive pedal travel.
Carry out diagnostic check on ABS system. If outcome is within manufacturers specification drain and replace brake fluid. If outcome is not within manufacturer's specification replace ABS valve and drain and replace brake fluid.
