BRAKES MAY FAIL
The brake actuator clamping bands on the front axle may be weakened through fouling the shock absorber top mounting when the steering is on full lock and the brake pads are worn considerably. In time the clamping ring may fail and the braking effort at the front axle will be lost resulting in much longer stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the top shock absorber brackets of the front axle and if there has been any signs of fouling fit new actuator clamping rings.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
On effected petrol and diesel engines a spring clamp on the radiator hose connecting it to the water inlet pipe may be insecure. If not rectified the engine may lose coolant overheat seize and suddenly slow the vehicle rapidly to a halt.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to have the radiator hose adequately secured.
LOWER COWLING MAY IMPEDE BRAKING
The foot may be impeded when operating the rear brake operating lever effectively by the top edge of the lower cowling. This could cause longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the right hand foot guard and lower cowling bracket.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
On effected petrol and diesel engines a spring clamp on the radiator hose connecting it to the water inlet pipe may be insecure. If not rectified the engine may lose coolant overheat seize and suddenly slow the vehicle rapidly to a halt.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to have the radiator hose adequately secured.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It has been established that the fuse holder mounting screws have been fitted to close to the power supply terminal for the front air conditioning. This could result in a short circuit and in extreme cases a fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the mounting bolts with smaller headed bolts.
SUSPENSION TURRET MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the welds on the left-hand front suspension turret may fail. Should this occur the vehicle could tilt to the left-hand side and directional control could ultimately be affected.
Recall those affected vehicles for remedial work to be carried out on the suspension turret.
TRAILER I-CATCH MAY FAIL
The I CATCH boat to trailer locking device may be maladjusted and not properly securing the front end of the watercraft. If the rear latching straps are not used to properly secure the back end of the watercraft it is possible for the watercraft to slide off the trailer.
Recall the trailers that are likely to be affected to install a safety cable on the front latch mechanism to affix an updated label to the trailer and to give the owner an updated user guide.
THROTTLE CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The throttle return spring may fail which will affect throttle control and lead to a general fluctuation in engine revs possibly resulting in constant high rpm
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the carburettors.
THROTTLE CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The throttle return spring may fail which will affect throttle control and lead to a general fluctuation in engine revs possibly resulting in constant high rpm
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the carburettors.
IF DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG MAY ENDANGER PASSENGER
The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a number of fuel pressure pipes may have a defect which could result in a fuel leakage. Although it can be identified by the smell of fuel it is possible although unlikely that an external heat source could ignite the fuel so resulting in a fire.
Recall affected for inspection of fuel pressure line and replacement if required.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that water can enter the engine bay via the nearside air cleaner filter panel and ingress into the top alternator. This can then cause the bearing to fail which leads to an internal short circuit and in extreme cases possibly a fire.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a water trap to prevent water ingress into the alternator.
LOSS OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
It is possible that during battery maintenance the main battery cables can foul in the battery box closing system. Repeated operation of opening and closing of the battery box can in extreme cases cause a short circuit and subsequence loss of power.
Recall affected vehicles to check for fouling and rectify as required.
PARTIAL AXLE DETACHMENT
During manufacture the strengthening gussets fitted to the rear axle tie bar mounting brackets were not fitted. If not corrected the rear axle will partially detach resulting in excessive movement of the rear axle and the tyres fouling the body.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary fit strengthening gussets to the rear axle tie bar mounting brackets and correct any damage that has occurred to the rear suspension as a result of not having the strengthening gussets fitted.
LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
It has been established that on some C3's the rigid section of the front brake hose may be deformed or twisted. This could result in a deterioration of the braking efficiency.
Recall the affected vehicles and inspect the brake hose for distortion and replace if required.
FRONT AXLE MAY DETACH
The front axle fixings may not have been tightened sufficiently. This may result in the front axle becoming insecure which may in rare cases if not corrected cause directional control to become impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the front axle fixings and where necessary tighten them to specification.
FRONT AXLE MAY DETACH
The front axle fixings may not have been tightened sufficiently. This may result in the front axle becoming insecure which may in rare cases if not corrected cause directional control to become impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the front axle fixings and where necessary tighten them to specification.
POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE
The positive battery wire to the starter might chafe against a bracket on the engine block. If not corrected it is possible that the insulation of the wire could chafed through the consequences being a short circuit and vehicle damage through fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the routing of the battery wire and correct the routing where necessary.
CYLINDER SIDE SKIRT MAY BECOME DETACHED
The screws used to secure the side skirt at the cylindrical silencer can lose torque which could result in the side skirt becoming detached from the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fixings and tighten to a torque of 47Nm.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
The left front brake hose may contact the brake disc during extremely heavy braking. This can damage the hose and lead to a fluid leak which could cause brake failure and result in an accident.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the left front brake hose and install a brake hose damper.
REAR PROTECTION BAR MAY DETACH
It is possible that cracking can occur in the area of the welds on the mounting bracket to the tube of the rear under protection bar. This in extreme cases if not rectified could result in the detachment of the bar from the vehicle.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the bar with a modified type.
