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.
OIL MAY LEAK ONTO REAR TYRE
There is a possibility that pulsating oil pressure can cause the shaft sealing ring at the gearbox output to be dislodged from the gearbox housing. If this situation is not noticed by the rider the leaking oil can contaminate the rear tyre which can lead to a higher risk of collision or rider being unseated.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to fit a retainer to the gearbox.
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVERS AIRBAG
It is possible that during constructions the wiring harness for the frame may have been installed under tension. This can cause damage to the ribbon feeder for the clock spring connection for the steering wheel controls and air-bag. This will normally result in minor issue with the steering wheel electronic controls which will warn the driver of the issue. However in the extreme it could result in an electrical short circuit which can cause the premature deployment of the steering wheel air bag.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the routing of the harness and fit an additional earth link.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
It is possible that a securing rivet for the inertia reel of the seat belt may work loose. With regular usage this may result in noise development with increased play and in the worst case no restraint function being present which leads to a safety risk for the driver should a collision occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the seat belt.
STEERING EFFORT MAY DECREASE
A bolt securing lateral rods to the front and rear axles may become loose and cause a vibration through the steering wheel. These rods act as an anti tramp measure. If the bolt wears it can drop out allowing the axle to tramp and cause the steering effort applied by the driver to reduce.
Replace bolts on affected vehicles with modified version
POSSIBLE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE
It is possible that the foot brake lever mounting screws have been tightened to an incorrect torque. If ignored the lever may come loose on its mounting and start to feel loose and if continued to be ignored it is possible for the bolt to fall out of the lever mounting causing the loss of rear brake.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and re torque the bolt with new locking agent applied.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that the right hand rear brake pipe can suffer a dynamic fouling condition on a redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If not corrected this can eventually result in the pipe wearing through. This condition will result in loss of brake fluid which will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel. However there is the possibility of the reduction of braking effluence due to the loss of one brake circuit and possible instability of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the brake pipe and manipulate the redundant bracket on the rear subframe. If the brake pipe is found to be damaged then the brake pipe will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION
Some vehicles may have been manufactured with improper throttle cable routing. As a result the throttle cable may come in contact with the engine exhaust system during operation which could cause throttle cable damage and unintended throttle behaviour.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit a new throttle cable and/or correct the routing of the throttle cable.
DRIVER MAY NEED TO SUPPLY MORE PEDAL FORCE THAN EXPECTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE
The brake servo may have been damaged during installation which would result in reduced pedal assistance whilst the brakes will still function more pedal force will be required to stop the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the servo and where necessary replace the servo.
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER MAY FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY
The driver's seat belt pre tensioner may fail to function during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the driver's seat belt pre tensioner code and where necessary replace the pre tensioner.
REDUCTION IN POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
Due to a nonconformity in the manufacture of the alternator pulley (free wheel type) the contact surface of the pulley might be deformed. In use the tightening torque of the alternator pulley can decrease resulting in the pulley detaching from the alternator. Should this happen the driver will notice reduced power steering assistance and the warning lamp for the charging system will illuminate.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and ascertain which alternator is fitted. Where an unmodified alternator is fitted replace the alternator.
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.
ENGINE MAY STOP UNEXPECTEDLY
The engine may stop unexpectedly due to the fuel supply running out even though the fuel range indicator shows miles remaining and in some cases before the low fuel warning lamp illuminates.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to perform a software programme update to re-calibrate the fuel level sensor signal.
AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION
The air bag ECU mounting bracket for RHD configured vehicles with airbag is incorrectly positioned in the vehicle. The consequence of this is that the ECU will be incorrectly mounted and therefore will not function correctly and as expected in a road traffic accident where the impact is over 12 mph. thereby increasing the risk to the driver.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to remount the ECU and re route the wiring harness.
TAILGATE MAY SHUT WITHOUT WARNING
Affected vehicles may have struts with a non compliant internal component. This may prevent the struts from maintaining the tailgate in the open position.
Non compliant struts are determined by using manufacturer test methods. If replacement is required both struts must be replaced.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE COMPROMISED
The front suspension wishbone mounting bolts might not have been manufactured to the correct specification potentially causing a risk of these parts breaking. Broken mounting bolts can be noticed by the driver through noises and poor directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front suspension wishbone mounting bolts.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The securing clips on the fuel pipe from the fuel pump to the injector support may be defective. This could cause the pipe to split and/or rupture and may result in fuel leaking from fuel pipe connections. This should be identified by a strong smell of petrol and or fuel leaking from the machine onto the ground. If damage to the pipe occurs it will create an increased risk of fire and/or crashing as a result.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel pipe.
RISK OF FIRE
The securing clips on the fuel pipe from the fuel pump to the injector support may be defective. This could cause the pipe to split and/or rupture and may result in fuel leaking from fuel pipe connections. This should be identified by a strong smell of petrol and or fuel leaking from the machine onto the ground. If damage to the pipe occurs it will create an increased risk of fire and/or crashing as a result.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel pipe.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE COMPROMISED
The front suspension wishbone mounting bolts might not have been manufactured to the correct specification potentially causing a risk of these parts breaking. Broken mounting bolts can be noticed by the driver through noises and poor directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front suspension wishbone mounting bolts.
VEHICLE REAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that the rear lights may cease to function due to the wiring insulation being abraded on a roof lining angle bracket. If the rear lights cease to function there is an increased risk of collision as other road users are not warned of vehicle; position directional intent or braking intent. Warnings for the driver can be gained from acrid smell indicator tell-tale flashing faster than normal and other electrical items in the rear not working.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the wiring. In all cases protection for the wiring will be fitted.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP FUNCTIONS INCORRECTLY WHEN INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED.
It is possible that the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) do not function correctly when the turn signal indicator is actuated. The opposite DRL (rather than adjacent) may turn off when the turn signal is activated. This could result in confusion for other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the function of the lights and where necessary modify the wiring.
CHILD SAFETY LOCK MAY NOT ACTIVATE
It is possible that vehicles fitted with Automatic Soft-Closure Feature (SCA) rear doors may have an issue with out of tolerance on the SCA mechanism which can result in the deactivation of the child locks when they are activated. This could result in a child unintentionally opening the door and exiting the vehicle. The driver is informed that the rear door is open by a warning on the instrument panel and an acoustic (noise) warning.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the locks and replace them if required.
DRIVERS SEAT BELT MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY FOLLOWING A COLLISION
It has been identified that the pre-tensioner may not function correctly during a collision. This could cause additional injuries during a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tensioner and replace if required.
DRIVERS SEAT BELT MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY FOLLOWING A COLLISION
It has been identified that the pre-tensioner may not function correctly during a collision. This could cause additional injuries during a collision.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tensioner and replace if required.
DYNAMIC ESA PISTON ROD MAY BREAK
It has been identified that due to a manufacturing defect it is possible that the piston rod of the optional rear Dynamic ESA spring strut could break. If this occurred then the rear of the machine will drop to the extent that the rear-wheel cover/guard will come into contact with the rear tyre and possibly cause loss of control of the machine.
Recall all affected machines and replace the Dynamic ESA.
