    FRONT WIPER MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE

    Defect

    In the front wipers on subject left hand drive cars there is high friction at the tightening surface between the wiper arm nut and the wiper arm that could result in the nut being insufficiently tight. If the movement of the wiper arm is restricted by an external load such as a build up of heavy snow on the windshield the wiper motor torque may exceed the wiper arm slipping torque and one or both wipers could become inoperative. If this happens then visibility could be reduced which could increase the risk of a crash.

    Remedy

    Replace the front wiper arm nuts

    TAILPIPE MAY BECOME DETACHED

    Defect

    Internal tests have shown that rear mufflers (silencer) installed on these vehicles do not achieve the required service life. As a result the exhaust tailpipe of the rear muffler can crack on vehicles with higher mileage this can result in the loss of the exhaust tailpipe and represents a danger to other road users

    Remedy

    Replace both rear mufflers.

    PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

    RISK OF BRAKE FAILURE

    Defect

    There is insufficient room for the front brake hoses to move with the steering and suspension without chafing the hose. Should a brake hose chafe through the front wheel brake of the affected axle side could fail upon pressing the brake pedal. The front wheel brake on the affected axle side may therefore fail in the most unfavourable case.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new hoses and brackets which are the same as the current production.
