FLOOR BOLTS MAY BE MISSING
Through routine testing it has been identified that our 2014 built coachbuilt motorhomes are at risk of having a number of floor bolts missing from the underside of the vehicles. In the event of an accident the structural integrity of the vehicle could be compromised.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the number of bolts fitted. Where bolts are identified as missing the bolts will be fitted.
REDUCTION IN BRAKING EFFICIENCY
Moisture is absorbed by the brake fluid over time due to its hygroscopic nature. This moisture can cause corrosion to form in the piston and return spring within the brake master cylinder. As this corrosion forms it can cause the fluid to react and produce a small amount of gas. This gas may give a softer or spongy feel to the brake lever. In extreme cases this could reduce braking efficiency.
Recall all affected machines and replace the brake master cylinder.

ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that the accelerator pedal position sensor located in the accelerator pedal assembly may provide an incorrect signal due to sensor terminal wear. If this occurs the ECM will detect the sensor failure and illuminate the engine management waning lamp on the dash. It will also control and` limit vehicle acceleration. However in extreme case if this situation occurs and there is excessive dust in the throttle valve which could affect the amount of intake air then the engine could stall at idle speed.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the throttle pedal assembly.

INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS
The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module may experience a very high voltage spike which may result in the inadvertent deployment of the front airbags and/or the seatbelt pretensioner. This could result in the loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all the affected vehicles for the fitment of a filter harness for the ORC module.

CAB MAY TILT UNEXPECTEDLY
The cab tilt cylinder is connected to the frame of the cab by a pin. This pin is secured by a hexagon head bolt. The screw/bolt on some vehicles may not be tightened to the prescribed torque. As a result the cab may not be fully secure and in the worst case could tilt unexpectedly.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary tighten the cab tilt cylinder mounting pin securing bolt.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
For vehicles fitted with Dynamic Response System (DRS) it is possible that the positive battery cable could come in contact with the DRS fluid supply pipes. If this condition occurs the positive battery lead could chaff on the DRS pipe which will then lead to DRS pipes becoming positively charged. Should the charge find an earth then localised melting of components could occur due to heat generation. This could ultimately result in a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the positive battery cable then reroute the cable.
LOSS OF REAR BRAKING PERFORMANCE
The crimped connection between the rubber and ridged sections of the rear brake hose may not be correctly secured. In such circumstances a loss of rear braking force may occur.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check the construction of the rear brake hose and replace as necessary.
CLUTCH MAY NOT DISENGAGE
Hydraulic clutch system may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch. (Hydraulic clutch failure) and possibly an incorrect clutch release plate may have been installed. These items can cause the inability to disengage the engine from the transmission during operation leading to a dangerous condition.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to clean the secondary actuator of debris and install a new release rod and rod end. Additionally to identify the type of clutch release plate and where necessary replace with one of the correct type.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE
Only on the rear axle of vehicles fitted with carbon ceramic brakes the stainless steel screws fixing the rotor to the metal bell may fail due to stress corrosion cracking if the vehicle has been used in extreme salt environments. The customer will experience a noise when a screw fails and the brake continues to be 100% effective. However if the affected disc was to lose 8 of the 10 screws there would be a loss of braking at that rear wheel. This may lead to a small increase in stopping distance and could lead to a crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the affected stainless steel screws with a screw of a different material that is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.

HANDBRAKE MAY NOT APPLY CORRECTLY
Due to an inadequate hardening process it is possible that the pawl plate in the top of the handbrake valve can be subjected to premature wear. This can in extremes affect the operation of the handbrake and possible result in a vehicle roll away.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the handbrake valve.

Hydraulic clutch system may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch. (Hydraulic clutch failure) and possibly an incorrect clutch release plate may have been installed. These items can cause the inability to disengage the engine from the transmission during operation leading to a dangerous condition.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to clean the secondary actuator of debris and install a new release rod and rod end. Additionally to identify the type of clutch release plate and where necessary replace with one of the correct type.
VEHICLE COULD SUDDENLY STOP
It is possible that due to variations in the build specification of the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) which includes the Insluted-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT's) the lead-based solder could be affected by abnormally higher operating temperatures. This could result in a degrading of the solder and eventually heat damage to the IGBT's. If this occurs then warning lights on the instrument panel will illuminate. However if the driver fails to heed these warnings or the main power supply fuse blows then the vehicle could stop without warning.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the IPM unit with a upgraded unit.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The resin bracket inside the fuel pump may deform and reduce the clearance with the impeller causing the fuel pump to fail. If this concern occurs the machine could either fail to start or whilst riding the engine may stall without warning and not restart.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the pump with a modified type that uses a bracket made of aluminium.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It is possible for a crack to form around the fuel outlet to tank joint. This could lead to a fuel leak and in the worst case fire.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel tank and fuel tap.
REAR SCREEN COULD DETACH
On the affected vehicles the rear screen seal may not conform which could lead to water ingress in the boot and poor ageing of the seal. In very rare cases the rear screen could detach.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to remove and refit the rear screen.
LOSS OF CONTROL
Possible fitting of a non-conforming fixing screw on the front axle of vehicles with Mecbal suspension systems. If the non-conforming screws are fitted in the worst case it is possible that the front axle could become insecure and the control of the vehicle lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to carry out checks of fixing screws and replace where necessary.
FUEL LINE MAY HAVE BECOME DAMAGE AND COULD CAUSE A FUEL LEAK
Due to manufacturing tolerance the fuel line may become damaged in individual cases and within a specific manufacturing period. In the worst case this can cause leakage.
Recall the affected vehicles within the range quoted and replace the fuel line

SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
On certain right hand drive vehicles it has been identified that the main vehicle wiring harness could become damaged during installation. This could lead to a short circuit and electrical malfunctions.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required repair and secure the main wiring harness.
