FIRE MAY OCCUR
The flange for the oil pressure line on the low-pressure turbo charger may leak. If disregarded there is a risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the batch number of the flange for the oil pressure line on the turbo charger. Where necessary replace the flange and the oil pressure line.
PARKING BRAKE MAY APPLY INADVERTENTLY
During manufacturer of the manually operated parking brake valve some of the drillings were formed incorrectly. This concern may lead to cracks forming loss of air and the parking brake applying whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the make and date of manufacture. Where necessary replace the manually operated parking brake valve.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The flange for the oil pressure line on the low-pressure turbo charger may leak. If disregarded there is a risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the batch number of the flange for the oil pressure line on the turbo charger. Where necessary replace the flange and the oil pressure line.
FRONT SEAT BACKREST MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE
The back-rest adjustment mechanism on both front seats may be incorrectly set and display a large amount of play. This can cause the back rest to wobble and in the event of an accident the back rest may inadvertently fold backwards.
On affected vehicles adjust back rests to manufacturer's specifications.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that under UK operations the hazard warning switch can fail prematurely due to repeated use. This could result in an electrical overload and possible localised fire.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the hazard warning switch with the latest production version.
RISK OF FIRE
The oil cooler pipes may detach from their fittings and deposit oil in the engine compartment on the road/tyres which can lead to increased risk of fire and loss of vehicle control. Only the pipes with the smooth bore ferrules are affected.
Elise Exige and 211: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and repair or replace the oil cooler hoses. Evora: it is proposed that the oil cooler hose assemblies will be replaced with hoses that incorporate the current production released end fittings in accordance with Lotus workshop procedures.

LOSS OF TRANSMISSION
It has been identified that the transmission mounting could fail. This may allow the transmission to drop and cause the drive-shaft to disconnect resulting in loss of drive to the road wheels.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the transmission mountings.
RISK OF FIRE
An internal fault can create a short circuit within the fan control module which may lead to overheating of the insulation and ultimately fire within the engine bay. This may happen with the engine switched off and possibly when the vehicle is unattended..
Replace electric cooling fan assembly on affected vehicles
VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS
Due to an issue with the software in the engine management system (EMS) it is possible that the EMS will not restrict the vehicle speed to 137mph if the Deployable Rear Spoiler (DRS) does not deploy when it should . This can affect vehicle stability; although this should not affect vehicles used in the UK due to the National Speed Limit however it could affect vehicles that travel to Europe or are used on private grounds.
Recall all affected vehicles to have new software installed.

RISK OF FIRE
On affected vehicles it is possible that the wiring to the vanity light within the sun visor may sustain damage during maintenance procedures on the visor or the vehicle's headlining. Damaged wiring could be a risk of fire plus the vanity light my not operate.
Fit new wiring guides to all affected vehicles and repair wiring where damage is present.
PISTON ROD MAY DETACH
The forks may not have been correctly assembled which could lead to initially knocking and the damping in the affected strut decreasing. If the condition is allowed to progress the inside of the fork will be damaged and the fork may seize.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and remove the fork cap. Check the locking nut for correct torque and tighten if necessary.

BRAKE PEDAL MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
Under certain braking events the Ready Alert Braking System (RAB) may result in the driver experiencing a hard brake pedal feel. If the driver experiences a hard brake pedal they may not push the pedal as intended which can result in a lengthening of the stopping distance of the vehicle so increasing the risk of a crash.
Recall all affected vehicles to update the RAB software in the ABS ECU.

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and remove the fork cap. Check the locking nut for correct torque and tighten if necessary.
ENGINE MAY STALL
On affected vehicles; Debris form manufacture may be present in the valve block which controls clutch operation and gear selection. This can lead to the clutch not being operated wrong or no gear selection. It is also possible that the engine may stall.
Recall vehicles and flush the oil in Duotornic clutch circuit.

POSSIBLE RISK OF FIRE
On affected vehicles the diesel engine Glow Plug Control Module can be affected by wet conditions. The GPCM is not waterproof and water ingress into the module may cause overheating with the potential to result in a fire. As the GPCM has a permanent electrical live feed there is also a potential risk of an unattended vehicle fire.
Replace existing module with waterproof version
