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; Under certain conditions the fuel leak off pipe may become insecure at the connection to the injector. If this happens fuel may leak form the connection. Fuel may accumulate in the engine compartment and vehicle users will be aware of a smell of fuel.
Inspect connection on affected vehicles and where necessary replace the fuel leak off return pipe fixing with new adhesive.
SIDE STAND PIVOT BOLT MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the side stand pivot bolt has been manufacturered with insufficient material cross section to withstand abusive loads.on the Explorer and Explorer XC models. This could result in the bolt fracturing and the machine falling over.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the side stand pivot bolt and the lock nut.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It has been established that a manufacturing defect in the rotor of the fuel pump installed in the aforementioned machines can cause failure of the pump. This may cause the engine not start or it can cause the engine to stall if the machine is being used in particularly high ambient temperatures.
Recall all affected machines to check and if require place the fuel pump.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
It is possible that corrosion can form on unprotected hidden brake pipes. This could result in the failure of the pipes and loss of brake fluid which can affect the brake system and ultimately cause reduced braking efficiency.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect and if required replace the subject brake pipes.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
Due to the use of inappropriate material for the drive belt on the 4B1 Petrol engine the nylon idler pulley(s) may wear at an angle. If this continues under this condition the drive belt will be forced off the pulleys. This can lead to battery depletion Overheating and on vehicles with hydraulic power steering the steering effort will increase.
Replace drive belt. Check and if necessary replace idler pulley(s)
TYRE TREAD MAY SEPARATE
The tyre tread may detach and adversely affect the control of the vehicle. The separated tread could also adversely affect other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to have tyres from the affected batches. All tyres fitted to the vehicle are to be checked including the spare. The tyres that are in the affected batches are to be changed out.
FRONT WHEEL MAY DETACH
It has been established that in extreme cases the front axle tube could fracture over a period of time. If not identified this could result in the detachment of the wheel and hub assembly.
Recall all affected vehicles and fit additional brackets to hold the hub/tube assembly in place should the tube fracture.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that the failure of an electric relay can cause the service brake electric vacuum pump to fail. The issue will be identified to the driver by the illumination of a brake warning lamp on the vehicle's instrument panel and an audible warning. If this occurs it will result in a need to apply higher brake pedal force and an increase in stopping distances
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the electric vacuum pump relay.
BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE
Silicon grease applied to the brake light switch during production may penetrate the switch and insulate the contacts. This may prevent the stop lamps from operating and on vehicles with automatic transmission the shift lever cannot be moved from the park position.
Clean mounting and replace brake light switch
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
In extreme cases the engine balance shaft drive gears could break and cause the engine to lock. This can lead to an elevated risk to the rider and other road users.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and fit new quality assured balance shaft drive gears.
