ABS MAY FAIL
The ABS hydraulic unit may have been assembled incorrectly. As a result the braking force when the ABS function is activated may be reduced or even lost. This issue does not affect braking under normal circumstances when the ABS function is not deployed.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the ABS Hydraulic Unit with a new remedial one.
REAR CROSS-MEMBER MAY FAIL AND CAUSE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL
On subject vehicles a weld on the rear cross member might be non-compliant and eventually cause the weld between the cross member and the vehicle body to break. This may lead to a partial detachment of the axle and cause the driver to lose control.
Contact keepers using DVLA and manufacturer's records. Check the compliance of the weld on the O/S/R and if necessary replace the cross member.

HEADLIGHT MAY MALFUNCTION
In certain circumstances the headlamp wiring coupler may overheat which in the worst case can cause the headlamp to fail
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the wiring sub harness to the headlamp.

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the wiring sub harness to the headlamp.
STEERING WHEEL MAY DETACH
It is possible that the nut securing the steering wheel was not correctly tightened when the vehicle was assembled. This could lead to abnormal noise and free play at the steering wheel. If these warnings are ignored the nut could eventually come off and the steering wheel could separate from the steering shaft causing loss of steering ability.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the steering wheel securing nut is tightened to the correct torque.
ENGINE MAY STALL
Soot may build on the piston ring causing the ring to seize in the groove allowing combustion gases to by-pass the piston. If not rectified this if ignored could cause the piston to overheat and melt.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogram the engine ECU with new version software to change the pilot injection timing.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
Rear differential oild level may not be correct due to issue with filling procedure during production. This shortfall in filling could be approx 50% of the required amount. If oil level in rear differential is low the differential could become noisey and eventually seize.
Recall affected vehicles and check oil level. If the level is low the official advice is for the dealer to contact head office. This is a new model and a large percentage are still in manufacturer/dealer control.
ENGINE COULD OVERHEAT AND STALL
On Petrol versions (HA1W) the air bubble separation function of the condenser tank for the engine cooling system may not function properly when the engine is running at high RPM. This could result in coolant overflowing from the condenser tank. If the coolant overflows repeatedly and use of the vehicle continues without sufficient coolant engine overheating could occur. In the worst case the engine could stall/heat seize and cannot be restarted
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the condenser tank refill the coolant and bleed the system.
SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER
It has been establish that a build up of deposits within the engine can result in engine running and starting issues. In extreme circumstances it can cause a sudden engine stall without any warning.
Recall all affected vehicle and install a new software package in the engine management system.
FAN BEARING FAILURE MAY CAUSE A FIRE
Insufficient clearance within the cooling fan clutch bearing and in correct specification grease can result in the bearing overheating. This can result in scorching damage or in extremes circumstances a fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace coolant fan clutch bearing.
DRIVE MAY BE LOST
The drive chain split link clip may crack and deform allowing the drive chain to come off with the subsequent loss of drive.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the drive chain link with new remedial part.
TYRE COULD DEFLATE RAPIDLY
The sidewall construction is not to specification which could lead to sudden failure of the sidewall and rapid deflation of the tyre.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the tyres.
TRANSMISSION MOUNT FAILURE MAY CAUSE LOSS OF DRIVE
It is possible under certain conditions that the gearbox mounting may fail and allow the transmission to drop. This can result in the loss of drive due to the disconnection of the drive shaft.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the transmission mountings.
VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY
It has been identified that in extreme cases the mechanical lock of the Wabco park brake valve (81.52315-6089 or 81.52315-6090) may release by itself. If this occurs then there is the possibility that the vehicle could roll away.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the park brake valve.

Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the park brake valve.
AIR DRIER HOUSING MAY DETACH
It is possible due to its location that the muffler on the air drier may freeze and icing may occur. This can cause a blockage of the vent line; this in turn will cause the pressure in the air drier to rise beyond its venting pressure of 18.5 bar to in excess of 40 bar. This can result the top section of the air drier cartridge housing becoming detached. The driver should be aware of the issue due to the noise emitted and the brake system will still operate allow you to stop the vehicle safely. However the brake system could still be compromised.
Recall all affected vehicle and reposition air drier muffler.
WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL
An internal fault with the wiper motor could cause it to stop working. In some rare cases the windscreen wipers may stop working while in operation.
Recall affected vehicles and check the manufacturing date of the wiper motor and add a supplementary earth wiring harness if necessary.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible for the lubrication to the vacuum pump to be interrupted because of a nonconformity with the sealing cap fitted to the intake camshaft. The sealing cap may move and prevent lubrication reaching the vacuum pump causing it over a period to seize. The driver will probably note increasing input is necessary to stop the vehicle. Should the vacuum pump fail completely the vehicle can still be braked albeit with increased pressure applied to the foot brake control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the sealing cap of the intake camshaft. If necessary the sealing cap in the camshaft will be secured with a spacer.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel tank may be deformed by the influence of varying temperature conditions fuel used and material thickness. Such deformation could cause a leak at the fuel tap mounting area leading to a potential fire risk.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel tank and fuel tap O ring
