Showing 10651–10675 of 15,570 recalls.
BONNET MAY NOT CLOSE PROPERLY
The bonnet release lever may foul the A pillar housing and not allow the bonnet to close properly. This could in very exceptional circumstances allow the bonnet to open when the vehicle is in motion.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to rework the A pillar housing and sound proofing.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL
An incorrect fixing screw retaining the swing arm to the rear suspension linkage has been fitted to some machines. It is possible that the incorrect fixing screw could fail resulting in the rear suspension collapsing and the rider losing control of the machine.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check whether the screw retaining the swing arm to the rear suspension is correct. Where the screw is found to be incorrect replace the screw.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The engine may cut out because the side stand switch mounting bolts can become loose. This in turn can cause the switch connection to be lost.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the bolts with modified bolts and washers.
SMOULDERING MAY OCCUR
A resistance may occur at the connection between the feed and the light tube which may lead to the terminal overheating and some smouldering.
Recall the units that are likely to be affected and fit new connectors.
WHEEL MAY BREAK
Wheel knave may break away from the outer ring due to poor weld penetration. This could lead to the wheel breaking and could cause damage to vehicle.
Replace wheels.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
Under high engine speeds it is possible that the conrod big end bolts may work loose which can cause the engine to seize. The anti-hopping clutch will prevent the rear wheel from locking but a safety critical riding situation may occur if oil escapes.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to install new conrod bolts that have thread locking compound applied.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL
It is possible that the wrong specification differential unit (Crown Wheel & Pinion) has been installed. Not only can this give an incorrect speedometer reading but if four wheel drive is selected on hard surface/road with low friction then directional control of the vehicle can be affected.
Recall all affected vehicles and inspect differential if found to be the incorrect specification then replace with the correct specification differential.
THIRD ROW SEATS MAY BE INSECURE
The front guide hook of the third row seat may not be fitted correctly. If ignored the restraint function of the third row seat may be affected.
Inspect both third row seat hook mountings and if necessary remove seat and reinstall the hook in the correct position.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
It is possible that the parking brake cable may not be properly located in the rear brake shoes parking brake operating lever. It is therefore possible if the cable is not secure that the cable may become loose during driving which will result in the failure of the handbrake if not rectified.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required secure the cable.
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
Tension from the combination switch wiring harness can cause a small amount of movement when the combination switch is operated. Over time the low beam terminal can become worn leading to poor electrical continuity. Ultimately this may cause the low beam headlights to fail.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the low beam terminal harness and where necessary the lighting switch.
RISK OF FIRE
The positive battery cable routed from the vehicle battery to the engine bay consists of one cable in the luggage compartment and one cable in the underbody. Both cable are connected by a screw connection and covered by a plastic cover. In single cases the plastic cover may have been fitted incorrectly during the vehicle production. Over time an incorrectly fitted cover could cause the screw connections to come loose leading to an increased resistance also humidity may affect the connection and cause high resistance and drop in current. This can lead to the vehicle not starting and in extreme cases the connection could over heat leading to the possibility of a fire in the luggage area.
The clips on the battery will be checked the cover replaced and sealed.

REAR PROPELLER SHAFT COUPLING FAILURE
It has been identified that a genuine replacement rear propeller shaft coupling could fail which could result in the propeller shaft detaching from the vehicle whilst in motion.
Recall all affected parts and replace with a new quality component.

POSSIBLE AIR LEAKS ON BRAKE CIRCUIT
As part of an ongoing investigation and improvement process there is a requirement to inspect the air piping connections on the hand brake circuit (Circuit 3) for completeness and serviceability.
Recall all affected vehicles for inspection of pipework and report finding to manufacturer.

WHEEL BEARING MAY FAIL
Under certain operating conditions it is possible that the wheel bearing or a tyre on the leading or trailing tag axles can fail as a result of a brake overheat. If the driver ignores warning signs it is possible the wheel and hub could detach or the tyre could blow out.
As an interim action recall all affected vehicles to check the tolerance on the brake calipers fitted to these axles. Where necessary the dealer will replace specific brake components and fit wheel nut indicators to act as heat/melting indicators. Full action recall all affected vehicle to have new brake calipers fitted.
TRANSMISSION MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
A frictional connection (clutch within the gearbox) may go out of tolerance and produce a chattering noise. This will be followed by a warning message appearing in the instrument cluster and symptoms similar to a slipping clutch.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the thrust link belt of the continuously variable transmission. Where necessary the transmission will be replaced.

GEARBOX MAY REMAIN IN GEAR WHEN NEUTRAL IS SELECTED
It is possible that an internal gear selector fork may failure which can result in the gearbox still being in gear when neutral is selected. This could unintentionally allow the vehicle to move off on its own.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the gear selector fork.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
Non-conformity in the final stages of machining of the crank shaft for the F136 type engine which may lead to failure in the incorrectly machined zone caused by thermal and dynamic stresses.
Replacement of the crankshaft and the relative main bearings and connecting rod bearings.
