RISK OF FIRE
As a result of unfavourable design of electronic circuitry there is a possibility of the Control Unit for the front fog lamps/cornering lamps in the subject vehicles producing a humming noise and suffering thermal overload leading to a risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the Control Unit and re programme the Flexible Programming System.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The protectors for the front brake hoses may have been fitted incorrectly which could in the worst case scenario lead to a reduction in braking efficiency. If there is leakage of brake fluid the warning lamp will illuminate and more effort will have to be applied to the brakes to stop in good time. Additionally there is a possibility that brake fluid may leak from the rear brake cylinders with the same effects as above.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the front brake hoses and protectors. Where necessary reposition or replace the protectors and brake hoses. Replace the fixing dome caps that retain the rear brake shoes to the back plate.
FRONT WHEELS MAY LOCK UP
It is possible for a front brake line to pinch between the fuel tank and frame. If this occurs it is then possible for the front brake to lock the wheel leading to loss of machine stability and involuntary dismount of the rider.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to inspect and carry out repairs as per the bulletin where necessary. If repairs are necessary they are to either check correct routing of the brake line and secure or replace the brake line and secure.
TRANSMISSION OIL MAY LEAK
It is possible for the hose clamps on the oil lines from and to the transmission oil cooler may work loose. With regular use this may result in a leak of transmission oil and in the worst case the oil lines might become detached and the transmission may fail.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hose clamps of the oil lines from and to the transmission oil cooler.
ENGINE EMERGENCY MODE MAY BE ACTIVATED DURING DRIVING
The screws retaining the variable camshaft timing (VANOS) housing may loosen and under certain circumstances the heads may break off. This can lead to the VANOS leaking oil internally and adversely affect the valve timing adjustment. If found to deviating from targeted data the engine emergency mode will be activated. This will be indicated by a distinct change in engine running. The orange engine management warning lamp and a check message; On vehicles with N51/N52 engines this will appear at ignition recycle on N55 engine it will display immediately.
Repalce bolted connection of the VANOS adjustment unit
POSSIBILITY OF TREAD SEPARATION
During sustained high speed driving a bulge may appear in th tread causing vibration and in extreme cases detachment of the tread.
Recall affected tyres and withdraw the tyre from sell

HEAD LIGHT AND INDICATOS MAY FAIL
Due to a fault in the soldering process of the lighting switch circuit board it is possible that the solder on the lighting circuit switch can crack as a result of temperature changes during production. This can result in the lights or turn signals failing totally or blinking/flicker.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the switch and if required replace the switch assembly.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVE
As a result of incorrect machining of the oil seal installation aperture in the transfer cover by one of the transfer box suppliers it is possible the oil seal may move from its intended position in the casing. This can result Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) passing from the main gearbox into the transfer casing causing the ATF pressure to drop which will result in poor shifting and the illumination of a warning lamp on the instrument panel. Also as the oil level in the transfer box increase it can leak out from the transfer box breather pipe onto the road surface. In the worst case scenario the vehicle can lose all drive.
Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the transfer box. If found to be one of the affected transfer boxes then the transfer box will be replaced.
VEHICLE CONTROL MAY BE LOST
Front subframes on affected vehicles may show signs of damage to the left hand mounting point caused during the manufacturing process. Over time this may affect durability and cause the mounting to fail. This can affect security of components attached to the subframe and may affect control of the vehicle.
Prior to failure the driver should notice excessive noise from this area. As a safety measure affected vehicles should be checked and where necessary the subframe replaced.

REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE
The brackets retaining the rear central air tank may fail. In the worst case this can result in the compressed air tank becoming detached leading to reduced braking effect and possible danger to other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit new bracket and clamping straps for the compressed-air tanks at the rear.
