MACHINE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE
The ABS might not operate although no Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminates. This is due to a non conformity during the manufacturing process. The brakes will function albeit without the ABS capability.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the modulator unit.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
REAR BACK-REST MAY FAIL
It is possible that vehicles fitted with the Easy Vario seat system may have a seat back-rest lock that is not to specification. This could in the event of extreme loading (a rear end collision) result in the lock failing and the seat back-rest folding forward possibly causing injury to the occupant.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the rear back-rest lock.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It is possible that the steering drag link end ball joint nut may not have been torqued to the correct specification. This can lead to a loosening of the nut and in extreme cases detachment of the joint with the associated loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicle and check torque of drag link end nut. If loose replace nut and torque to the correct specification.
POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL
The tie rod for toe in adjustment could fail at the threads and cause loss of vehicle control. This is due to a nonconformity in production.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace both rear tie bars.
FUEL MAY LEAK
A fuel hose may disconnect during vehicle operation due to a non conformity of the filter cap. This may result in seepage and in the worst case fuel escaping.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to install a new fuel filter cap with O-ring.
OIL MAY LEAK
Hydraulic oil may leak from the high pressure pipe to flange joint fixed to the hydraulic fan. This could cause oil to be left on the carriageway or in the worst case fire. Note: The affected vehicles should be fitted with automatically operated fire suppression equipment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to test and where necessary replace the high pressure hose and pipe assembly with quality assured components.
POSSIBILITY OF WHEEL ATTACHMENT
It is possible that the wrong amount of protection lacquer has been applied to the brake drums. This could allow settlement of the road wheel during use. This can cause the loosening of the securing bolts which could result in the detachment of the road wheel.
Recall all affected axles inspect and if require replace the brake drums.
SIDEWALL MAY CRACK
Under certain operating conditions it is possible that the aforementioned tyres may suffer side wall over flexing damage which will result in side wall cracks. This can occur before the tyre reaches it end of life therefore Michelin are taking this action to remove any risk.
Contact all owners to inform them of the issue and if required replace any damaged tyres.
LOSS OF DRIVE
It is possible that over a period of time the bolt securing the clutch cover/pressure plate may become loose. The drive should be warned of this by the behaviour of the clutch noise from it or inability to select gears. Under certain conditions complete loss of drive could occur which could place the driver and occupant of the vehicle in a prone position.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the clutch bolts.

BRAKE EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
Brake assistance may be reduced or lost due to a manufacturing nonconformance. This could lead to longer stopping distances than the driver would normally expect.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the servo and where necessary replace the servo unit.

FLOOR MAT MAY IMPEDE ACCELERATOR PEDAL
If the vehicle is equipped with all weather or ribbed accessory mats it is possible that the mats may impede the operation of the throttle pedal to the extent that it could cause a delay in the throttle pedal returning when released.
Recall all affected vehicles check and if fitted remove the accessory mats.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
The subject vehicles are equipped with brake pressure accumulators consisting of a metal plunger containing brake fluid encased in a metal housing. The plunger is designed with metal pleated bellows to allow for motion. Nitrogen gas is sealed between the plunger and housing. It is possible that a fatigue crack could develop in the bellows due to vertical vibration of the plunger while driving. If this occurs nitrogen gas could leak into the brake fluid and gradually cause the brake pedal stroke to become longer resulting in decreased hydraulic pressure which could result in increased stopping distance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to first check which type of brake booster is fitted and if the at risk type is fitted; replace the brake booster assembly with an improved one.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It is possible that the routing of the frame wiring harness could chaff on a right angle edge at a cable set bracket. This could result in a short circuit which should be identified to the driver by warning lights on the instrument panel before any damage occurs. However the manufacturer is taking steps to prevent any safety issues by recalling the vehicles.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the cable set bracket plus if required replace any damaged frame wiring harnesses.

LUGGAGE CARRIER MAY DETACH
Vehicle operation can cause the threaded fasteners of the luggage carrier (optional accessory) to lose their preload and in the course of time these fasteners can work loose. There is a possibility of the luggage carrier detaching itself from the vehicle if loosened threaded fasteners remain unnoticed.
Recall all the vehicles that are likely to be affected to ascertain whether a luggage carrier is fitted. All luggage carriers installed on vehicles will be re-secured with thread-locking compound applied to the threaded fasteners with replacement of brackets as necessary.
MACHINE CAN BE RIDDEN WITH SIDE STAND EXTENDED
The mounting of the side-stand switch with a circlip is insufficient. As a result of this the side-stand switch may work loose and be damaged. If the side-stand switch does not function correctly the engine is no longer switched off when the side-stand is extended and a gear engaged. It would be possible for the driver to drive off with the side stand extended.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the side stand switch mounting. The switch will be bolted on.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MAY FAIL TO OPERATE AND/OR CAUSE BRAKES TO APPLY
One or both of the following may occur: 1) While driving through a tunnel with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) operating the ACC control unit may judge that the tunnel wall is a vehicle in front. This can result in the ACC system automatically applying the brakes to reduce vehicle speed. 2) Due to a calculation error in the ACC/Front Collision Mitigation (FCM) control unit ACC failure and Active Stability Control (ASC) failure may be displayed in the combination meter along with an audible warning alarm. The ACC and FCM systems will not operate when these warnings are displayed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to rewrite the ACC/FCM Electronic Control Unit software with modified software.
