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.
SUSPENSION MAY CRACK
The mountings on the axle where the rear leaf springs are fixed may crack. If this cracking is not repaired the suspension will eventually fail to its lowest point on that side.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit reinforcement plates extended U-bolts and nuts.
AIRBAG MAY NOT FUNCTION TO SPECIFICATION
The drivers airbag may not deploy in the case of a frontal collision. This because the passenger airbag pigtail is not to specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the passenger airbag pigtail.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The timing-chain tensioner is subject to wear because of a manufacturing defect . This means that gradually the timing chain is no longer adequately tensioned and as a result it slips its sprockets. If not rectified the engine could die while the vehicle is being ridden.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the timing chain tensioner.

INTERMITTENT FAULT WITH TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCHES
On affected vehicles the transmission switches have a chrome plating surround. This can interact with the printed circuit board within the switches and create an intermittent earth path to other surrounding parts In the subject vehicles this can cause the transmission to default to neutral without any driver input for gear selection resulting in a loss drive.
Replace existing switches with updated version. Brakes and steering are not affected.

TURBO PRESSURE HOSE MAY LEAK
It has been identified that due to an issue with the crimping process during production the turbo pressure hose may leak. In extreme circumstances it its possible that an oil leak could occur which could result in a risk of a fire if the oil comes into contact with a hot surface.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the turbo pressure hose.

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the turbo pressure hose.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Engineering investigations have identified that vehicles operated in countries which have high road salt usage during winter months may experience an increased risk of corrosion build up. In extreme cases the corrosion can propagate into the electronic circuits and result in overheating. In rare cases the overheating may be sufficient to ignite the module and surrounding wiring and components.
A supplemental wiring loom that removes the power supply to the fan control module when the ignition is switched off is required to be fitted to affected vehicles. An additional water shield must also be fitted to protect the module against water entry and corrosion build up.

SEATBELT ANCHORAGE POINT MAY NOT BE SECURE
On affected vehicles individual threaded seat belt connections may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may affect the anchoring of seat belts window bags and ground points. The manufacturer cannot completely rule out that the affected components may not fulfil their designated functions as the seat belt anchorage points may not be fully secure. It is also possible that this may cause erroneous messages to appear in the instrument cluster
Recall vehicles and check torque settings on affected threaded connections. Correct where necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MAY RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING
It is possible that during the manufacturing test of the Hand Brake Valve that damage occurred to the handle locker. It is then feasible that the handle locker could come to rest in an unsecured position which could subsequently allow the handle to move to the released/drive position and result in a vehicle roll-away.
Recall all effected unit and check for damage. If found to be damaged replace the hand brake valve with a new quality assured item.
SEAT BELT ANCHORATE AND WINDOW BAGS MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
On affected vehicles individual threaded seat belt connections may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may affect the anchoring of seat belts window bags and ground points. The manufacturer cannot completely rule out that the affected components may not fulfil their designated functions as the seat belt anchorage points may not be fully secure. It is also possible that this may cause erroneous messages to appear in the instrument cluster
Recall vehicles and check torque settings on affected threaded connections. Correct where necessary
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the wrong fuse may have been installed during production. This could cause an overload of the tachograph system wiring and ultimately a vehicle fire.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the fuse with a lower rated item.
BRAKES COULD FAIL
On affected vehicles the front brake hose(s) may have been incorrrectly routed and rub against the front mudguard. Hose may chafe through and after a period of time may fail. If the hose fails the rider will notice a spongy feel to the front brake but eventually a total loss of fluid will occur and front braking lost.
Inspect front brake hoses and correctly route. Where necessary replace damaged hoses.
WINDOW MAY DETACH
The two panes of glazing that make up the window may separate as a result of UV degradation. The separation takes about two years to progress to failure after the separation has started. In the worst case a separated pane could come loose from the unit.
Recall the units that are likely to be affected to repair the windows by fixing them together with a specially developed screw material. If the owner requires new improved windows can be purchased at a reduced price.
PARKING BRAKE MAY RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING
It is possible that during the manufacturing test of the Hand Brake Valve that damage occurred to the handle locker. It is then feasible that the handle locker could come to rest in an unsecured position which could subsequently allow the handle to move to the released/drive position and result in a vehicle roll-away.
Recall all effected unit and check for damage. If found to be damaged replace the hand brake valve with a new quality assured item.
NUMBER PLATE HOLDER ASSEMBLY MAY DETACH
It is possible that the mounting for the number plate holder sub-frame may crack and if not noted and rectified could lead to this large component detaching from the machine and possibly foul other components which can destabilise the machine.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the number plate holder sub-frame.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
It is possible that during the manufacturing test of the Hand Brake Valve that damage occurred to the handle locker. It is then feasible that the handle locker could come to rest in an unsecured position which could subsequently allow the handle to move to the released/drive position and result in a vehicle roll-away.

PASSENGER BACKREST ATTACHMENT POINT MAY FAIL
When the passenger seat backrest is fitted in combination with the luggage rack it is possible that the attachment point for the backrest could fail leading to increased risk for the riders and other roadusers.
Recall the machines that have the passenger seat backrest/luggage rack combination to replace the same with modifed components.
THROTTLE PEDAL MAY DETACH
There is a small possibility that the throttle pedal securing bolt may work loose. This can only occur if as a minimum the securing bolt is not tightened sufficiently to completely flatten the spring washer. The bolt may work free during pedal operation. This will result in the throttle pedal coming free from its chassis anchor point causing an inability to operate the throttle pedal and an immediate reduction in engine speed.
Recall the affected vehicles and check that the throttle pedal Cable Post is not in contact with the head of the throttle pedal securing bolt ensure that the bolt is tightened to 25Nm and that the throttle pedal is free to operate to the full extent of its travel in both directions.
