SPARE WHEEL MAY BECOME DETACHED
The spare wheel carrier winch system may allow the spare wheel to be loosely installed after the customer has used the winch. In this condition the spare wheel might move during driving which may damage and eventually break the cable and guiding pin of the winch system. In this worst case the spare wheel would become detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the complete spare wheel winch system.
SUB FRAME FIXING POINTS MAY FAIL
Following internal testing by the manufacturer it has been established that the upper fixture points on the rear subframe may not be sufficiently strong enough. This could result in the loss of support for the rider's seat and possibles loss of control.
Recall all affected machines and fit replacement supports.
TYRE MAY DEFLATE
During the manufacturing process the inner tubes may be pinched and in the worst case holed. This could cause tyre deflation and creates an increased risk the rider could lose control of the machine.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the inner tubes.

BRAKES MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED
The cover on the top of the engine cover could chafe against the brake vacuum hose. If this occurs it may lead to a vacuum leak in the brake booster system and a gradual reduction of brake booster assistance. The will lead to the brake pedal becoming harder to push than normal and increased force would be required to stop the car.
Inspect and replace the vacuum hose if necessary. The hose will also be fitted with a safety net to prevent chafing in the future.

STEERING CONTROL COULD BE AFFECTED
The nut that secures the pinion to the electric power steering system motor shaft may become loose if excessive force is used in full lock manoeuvrers. This could in extreme cases have an affect on the steering operation.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the securing nut.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY COULD BE REDUCED
Due to possible contamination within a brake pipe on right-hand drive vehicles foreign material can potential enter the brake master cylinder and cause damage to the brake seals. This can result in a reduction of braking efficiency and increased brake travel.
Recall all affected vehicles where the brake master cylinder and offending brake pipe will be replaced.
NUMBER PLATE AND CHAIN GUARD MAY DETACH
The bolts retaining the number plate holder and chain guard may loosen and allow the components to contact the tyre.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the chain guard and to tighten the relevant bolts to a new higher torque setting.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
When the machine is used in wet conditions (or when washing) water may enter the ECU or vehicle down sensor connections through the wiring harness. This can lead to corrosion on the terminals. Also the wiring for the fuel injection may rub on the frame wearing the insulation away. Both of these situations may cause the engine to cut out creating the potential for an accident.
Check ECU down sensor and harness for damage and replace items if required.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
On vehicles with anti-lock brake systems it is possible that the earth of the ABS hydraulic unit to corrode. In the worst cases this could cause the hydraulic motor to run continuously causing the motor to overheat or the corrosion could cause some heat development at the terminal to the ABS hydraulic unit and start a fire.
The recalled vehicles will have the earth line for the ABS hydraulic unit replaced and if necessary replace the corroded connector and/or ABS hydraulic unit on all affected vehicles
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The mounting brackets on the side of the fuel tank may crack due to stress while riding this can cause a fuel leak.
Check mounting for cracks and damper clearance. If the fuel tank is leaking replacing of the tank is required. In all cases fit correct sized fuel tank damper.
PASSENGER SEAT MAY DETACH
Rivets retaining the seat cushion of the front passenger seat may be too small and in an accident may not retain the cushion. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the double front passenger bench seat.
SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The left hand side front chassis may have a nonconformity which may lead to a risk of poor securing of the suspension arm.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the left hand side front chassis member.
SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The left hand side front chassis may have a nonconformity which may lead to a risk of poor securing of the suspension arm.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the left hand side front chassis member.
PASSENGER MAY INFLUENCE BRAKE OPERATION
The brakes could be inadvertently applied by the passenger.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a cover over the cross shaft lobe on the passenger side.
RISK OF FIRE
On vehicles fitted with the OM646 engine it is possible that an Air Conditioning (AC) hose bracket could chaff the wiring harness for the three phase alternator. If this is not rectified there is a possible risk of a short circuit which may result in a fire.
Recall all affected vehicles to check for damage to the wiring and replacement if found damaged plus the installation of an additional spacer clamp.

POSSIBLE WHEEL DETACHMENT
In certain rare conditions where the vehicle is used fully loaded and cornering with high lateral acceleration a crack may occur on the spoke of the aluminium wheel. If this condition is ignored and the vehicle continues to be driven the crack may propagate around other wheel spokes. This condition is expected to create a change in the vehicle handling and in extreme cases could lead to wheel detachment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the wheels.
POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST - FIRE RISK
The corrosion protection on certain power steering pipes may not be to specification. This could result in pin holes being formed which can leak power steering fluid. Should the power steering fluid contact hot surfaces there is a possibility that fire could occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the affected power assisted steering fluid pipes replaced.

Recalled vehicles will have the affected power assisted steering fluid pipes replaced.
HACE TOP BOX MAY DETACH
Certain roads conditions can produce inputs which can dislodge the top box from the mountings which could result in the top box falling from the machine.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the top box base unit and carrier with modified parts.
WHEEL BEARING MAY FAIL
Under certain operating conditions it is possible that the wheel bearing of the leading or trailing tag axles can fail as a result of a brake overheat on these axles. If the driver ignores warning signs then ultimately it is possible that the wheel and hub could detach.
Recall all affected vehicles for a check of the tolerates on the brake calipers fitted to these axles and if required replace specific brake components
HYDRAULIC PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT MEET UK LEGISLATION
Department for Transport tests have shown that the hydraulic parking brake could fail to hold the ATV on a slope.
Remove the hydraulic parking brake and refit with mechanical.
