    WHEEL MAY DETACH

    Defect

    As a result of insufficient clamp force being applied to the wheels it is possible for the wheel nuts to slacken. Eventually this could allow a wheel to detach.

    Remedy

    Recall the caravans that are likely to be affected to fit new wheel nuts that are treated with a dry lubricant and apply a torque of 160Nm. Labels with the appropriate information will be affixed to the caravan by the wheel arches and also stuck into the Owner's Manual.

    BRAKES MAY APPLY INADVERTENTLY

    Defect

    It has been identified that in rare cases repeated movement of the steering column may cause a signal interruption within the column. If this occurs it can affect the Active Handling System which can cause instability within the vehicle. The driver will be identified of the issue by the illumination of warnings lights on the dash. However if the driver does not take action then a crash could occur.

    Remedy

    Inspect the wire connection in the steering column and if necessary install an additional clip to secure the wire connection.

    ENGINE MAY FAIL

    Defect

    Due to an inappropriate software setting of the Engine Control Unit the oil level in the engine may increase due to fuel dilution during the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration. If the oil level increases too much it may prevent the engine from decelerating as intended the engine may continue to run even if the ignition is switched off. This may result in engine failure. The driver will not have any warning of this failure.

    Remedy

    The dealer will rewrite the engine software and replace the engine oil and engine filter.
