    POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF STEERING

    Defect

    Incorrect steering rack mounting bolts may have been fitted. As a result one or more of the heads on the 4 steering rack securing bolts may fracture due to embrittlement. This may present itself to the owner visually by missing bolt head/s and/or bolts from the steering rack securing brackets. This may lead to reduced steering control and ultimately loss of steering if all bolts were to fracture.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replacement all 4 steering rack securing bolts and associated Nyloc nuts and washers.

    ENGINE MAY STALL

    Defect

    On certain machines the software data in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) may have to tight a limit on the throttle value signal. In rare cases this can cause the engine to stall and cause the rider to loose control of the machine.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected machines and install new updated software.

    TOWING BALL HITCH MAY DETACH

    Defect

    Electronically deployed tow hitch is automatically deployed by button located ion luggage compartment. The pivot uses a mechanical control link which is electrically adjusted. This is necessary to prevent a loosening or shaking loose of the end stop during driving. Due to a software error in the instrument cluster the driver may not in certain cases get prior warning if the adjustment fails. The consequences of this are that the ball hitch can shake loose from the end stop whilst driving. The control link can break due to the imposed load of the trailer and the hitch can pivot downwards causing loosening/detachment of the trailer and adversely affect the vehicle control.

    Remedy

    Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme the control unit/instrument cluster.

    BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED

    Defect

    Some of the recalled vehicles will have been fitted with brake discs which have incorrect mechanical resistance characteristics. Vehicles with the incorrect brake discs fitted could have reduced braking efficiency and the discs could crack.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check which brake discs are fitted and where necessary fit the correct brake discs.

    BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED

    Defect

    There is the possibility that air may have become trapped in the ABS hydraulic unit of the braking system caused by improper air bleeding during the factory brake fluid refill. In the worst case this can cause increased brake pedal stroke and/or decreased braking force.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hydraulic unit (ABS) and bleed the brakes.

    OIL MAY LEAK

    Defect

    An oil cooler pipe may have insufficient room to move freely. As a result the pipe will abrade. If the concern remains unnoticed oil can leak in the engine bay with an increased risk of fire. Additionally oil can leak onto the road and cause a loss of control to the subject vehicle and other road users. If the driver does not heed the low oil pressure warnings then engine damage could occur.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles and replace the oil cooler pipes with a modified oil cooler pipe kit.

    FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY

    Defect

    The defect concerns the front passenger air bag. The skin of certain instrument panels was not correctly scored. In case of accident with air bag deployment the predetermined breaking point will not tear open resulting in the air bag deploying in the instrument panel. This will lead to insufficient restraint effect and possibly release of parts of the air bag system into the passenger compartment.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the instrument panel.
