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 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.
REAR SUSPENSION MAY DETACH
One or more of the rear suspension shock absorbers may break at one of the shock absorber attachment points. A partially detached rear suspension shock absorber(s) could cause damage to other rear chassis/suspension components rear brake pipe damage and/or damage to the rear tyre/s increasing the risk of a crash.
Check date code of shock absorber fitted and where applicable replace shock absorber
SAFETY BELT MAY NOT RESTRAIN OCCUPANT
For the left hand rear comfort seat the bracket to which the seat belt buckle is mounted may not be correctly positioned. The incorrect positioning causes incorrect welding of the bracket to the seat frame. If a collision occurs the welding for the bracket may weaken / fail leading to increased risk for the passenger in that seat.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the seat frame for the left hand rear comfort seat.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The connector between injectors and return fuel pipe may wear out. If this happens fuel may leak and driver's will notice a fuel smell.
Replace pipe and connect with new sealant.
INCORRECT WEIGHT RATINGS
The vehicle Weight Certification label has the incorrect value for Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR). Over loading the vehicle is possible without understanding the correct GVWR specification which could cause a crash without warning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the Weight certification label.
REAR WHEEL MAY LOCK
The fastening which fixes the front sprocket to the gearbox output shaft may slacken and cause abnormal noise to occur from the nearside of the engine. If the noise is not heard or ignored eventually the rear wheel will lock. This will increase the risk of an accident.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check the diameter of the recess on the secondary gearbox shaft. Fit a revised sprocket fastener kit or where necessary fit both a new secondary shaft to the gearbox and a revised sprocket fastener kit.

TOWBAR MAY DETACH
The bolted joints fixing the towbar kit to the chassis of the vehicle may loosen. In an extreme situation where the vehicle continues to be driven with loose bolted joints the towbar kit may detach from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary rework the towbar kit.

FUEL MAY LEAK
On affected vehicles the fuel filter may crack around inlet connection. This will allow fuel to leak which may cause a smell within the vehicle interior and possibly contaminate the road environment. This may affect the handling of the vehicle and of other traffic..
Check type of filter fitted. If not of improved type then replace with improved filter.
AIR BAGS MAY NOT INFLATE CORRECTLY
On affected vehicles the front air bags may not inflate correctly in the event of an accident and not be able to perform their function
Reprogramme the airbag control unit with new software

SEAT MAY OVERHEAT
On affected vehicles The control module for the front heated seats mail fail and when the ignition is switched on allow a permanent feed to the heater element(s). In this condition it may not be possible to switch off the heater element and over a period of time this may cause a seat to overheat and smouldering to occur. Occupants will notice an inability to switch the seat heater off using the designated switch and over longer periods a higher than normal temperature of the seat squab.
Fit additional seat heater monitoring modules. Where necessary seat elements may also be replaced.
VEHICLE IGNITION MAY INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF
It has been identified that if the key ring carries additional weight and the vehicle experiences any extreme road conditions for instance off road or harsh events then the keys can rotate away from the run position on the ignition switch. This will result in the loss of engine power and associated function. Also the air bags will not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to modify the ignition keys.
