BONNET MAY OPEN UNINTENTIONALLY
On a small number of S60 cars it is possible that secondary bonnet catch will not lock in the closed position correctly. If the bonnet is not closed correctly it is possible that the secondary bonnet catch will not secure the bonnet which could result in it opening unintentionally.
Recall the affected vehicle for inspection and adjustment to the lock if required.
ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT
It is possible that the hose connection between the coolant expansion tank and the bleed hose can work loose. If this should occur then coolant will leak and air will enter the system. Under these conditions the low coolant level warning light will not function. If the vehicle is driven in this condition it will cause engine damage and in the extreme possible failure.
Recall the affected vehicle to replace the tank and bleeder hose.

HORN MAY NOT OPERATE
The wiring harness for the horn can be inappropriately routed. If the steering is continually operated this can result in failure of the wiring due to fatigue.
Recall all the affected vehicles inspect the wiring harness and rework the harness if required.
SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
Trajet and Sante Fe - Corrosion may build up and weaken the rear suspension arms to an extent where they could fail and the directional control of the vehicle could be affected. Sante Fe models additionally have a similar concern with the front sub-frame.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to test the thickness of the metal of the suspension arms. If the corrosion is not too advanced the arms/sub-frame will be wax oiled. If the corrosion is advanced the suspension arms will have to be changed.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
The front live axle brake anchor plates may not be secure which if not attended to could ultimately lead to the directional control being affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the anchor plate bolts and where necessary replace the stub axle and brake anchor plate.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
The front live axle brake anchor plates may not be secure which if not attended to could ultimately lead to the directional control being affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the anchor plate bolts and where necessary replace the stub axle and brake anchor plate.
STEERING MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Steering may become notchy and if not corrected this could lead to the steering becoming stiffer and eventual loss of control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an improved Dynamic Power Steering Unit and a software upgrade.
HORN MAY NOT OPERATE
The wiring harness for the horn can be inappropriately routed. If the steering is continually operated this can result in failure of the wiring due to fatigue.
Recall all the affected vehicles inspect the wiring harness and rework the harness if required.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
Brake pipes at the brake master cylinder may not be to specification and start leaking. A brake fluid leak can increase the vehicle's stopping distance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake pipes.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
The front live axle brake anchor plates may not be secure which if not attended to could ultimately lead to the directional control being affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the anchor plate bolts and where necessary replace the stub axle and brake anchor plate.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
The front live axle brake anchor plates may not be secure which if not attended to could ultimately lead to the directional control being affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the anchor plate bolts and where necessary replace the stub axle and brake anchor plate.
LOSS OF CONTROL
The front suspension damper top mounting nut could be loose which could lead to loss of vehicle control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the front suspension damper top mounting nut to the correct specification.
BONNET MAY BE INSECURE
The bonnet lock fixing bolts may not be fully secure which can result in noise and vibration and in rare cases insecure holding by the bonnet catch and lock.
On recalled vehicles the tightness of the bonnet lock fixing bolts will be checked and where necessary tightened to specification.

SUNROOF MAY BECOME INSECURE
It is possible that due to issues with the bonding adhesive between the glass and the metal frame the bonding adhesive can start to fail. This condition is gradual and is identified by metal corrosion of the frame wind noise vibrations visual separation and water leaks. If this condition persists and is not rectified it is possible that the glass sunroof can detach from the vehicle.
Identification of the affected vehicles and replacement of the glass/metal frame panel.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been established that due to insufficient crimping of the main battery cable lugs/terminals to the battery cable can cause a resistance between the cable and lug/terminal. This can result in either failure of the electrical system production of sparks or a short circuit which could cause a vehicle fire.
Recall the affected vehicles for a check of the crimping. If found to be out of specification re-crimp or solder the cable lug/terminal.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The steering column upper shaft fixing bolt may not have had thread locking agent applied to it during assembly. This may allow it to come loose causing a noise. In extreme cases this may result in a loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit a bolt affixed with pre applied locking compound.

AIRBAG MAY OPERATE INCORRECTLY
The passenger airbag wiring harness connector may not be to specification which can cause the illumination of the warning light on the dash or if involved in a impact the incorrect deployment of the airbag.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the passenger airbag wiring harness.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The steering column upper shaft fixing bolt may not have had thread locking agent applied to it during assembly. This may allow it to come loose causing a noise. In extreme cases this may result in a loss of steering control.

BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
The mounting bolts of the brake disc on the trailing axle may not be to specification. This could result in a loss of clamping force on the disc and the loosing of the mounting bolts which can affect the permanent locking of the disc.
Recall the affected vehicles and instigate a new tightening procedure to address the concern.
