UNEXPECTED APPLICATION OF PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake may apply without input from the driver as a result of a programming error.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary reprogramme the electronic parking brake computer.
POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
The fridge vent compartment may not have the correct sealing panel fitted.
Recall all affected caravans to check for fitment of sealing panel. If one is not fitted a new panel will be fitted.
STEERING CONTROL ECU
The steering control ECU programming for the Variable Gear Ratio Steering system can cause the steering wheel to become off-centred by a maximum of up to 90 degrees under certain limited circumstances. If the driver has fully turned the steering wheel and then very quickly attempts to turn it back to the centre position the steering wheel may temporarily become off-centred.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the steering control ECU.

ENGINE MAY LOOSE DRIVE AND POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE.
The auxiliary drive belt tensioner may fail. This can lead to loss of steering power assistance and a slight possibility of loss of drive should the drive belt or tensioner invade the cambelt area.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the auxiliary drive belt and tensioner.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the auxiliary drive belt and tensioner.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It is possible due to fuel surge and vehicle vibration that the spot welds on the fuel pump support bracket within the fuel tank may fail. This can result in a small fuel leak onto the floor and if an external heat source is present then this could result in a fire.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank.
STEERING MAY FAIL
The steering column intermediate shaft may have a loose press fit on the upper joint yoke. If left increased free play and a knocking noise will develop which if ignored could lead to loss of steering.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new intermediate steering shaft.
PARKING BRAKE MAY APPLY INADVERTENTLY
The parking brake may apply with no input from the driver because of an incorrectly manufactured cable harness that controls the safety interlock circuit to the tank equipment shutter door.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check that the control switch for the parking brake is functioning correctly and if it is not the cable harness for the body and control switch for the parking brake must be replaced.
ENGINE SPEED MAY NOT DECREASE
The engine oil level may rise. This situation may lead to the engine speed being maintained or possibly increased after the throttle pedal is released. In an extreme situation the engine may continue to run after it has been switched off.
Recall the affected vehicles and carry out a ECM software upgrade adjust engine oil level and install a decal to confirm oil level to the consumer.

TREAD SEPARATION MAY OCCUR
Following endurance testing it has been established that separation of the breaker to casing ply may occur. This can be identified by a bulge in the tread area however if the separation is not identified then loss of air may result. This could affect control of the vehicle and in extreme cases result in a collision.
Recall affected tyres and replace them with quality assured replacements.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY BECOME INEFFECTIVE
It has been identified that under certain operating conditions the windscreen wipers may become inoperative. This can impair the driver's forward vision which may lead to a collision.
Recalled vehicles will have the integrated power module (TIPM) part number inspected. Modules found with a part number which ends in AA through AL must have two external wiper relays installed. Additionally the TIPM software will be reprogrammed.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
It has been identified that a batch of vehicles converted by SVP have been fitted with a split charging system the relays of which may not be to specification and could subsequently fail. This can result in wiring loom damage and the possibility of a fire.
Whereas the converter has approached 89 customers and supplied revised parts. It is proposed that Ford will contact the owners of the outstanding vehicles to emphasise the importance of end users contacting the convertor thus ensuring that the remaining vehicles are reworked.

FIRE MAY OCCUR
Under certain circumstances there might be water ingress into the control unit of the overnight/parking heater which may cause a short circuit. In extreme circumstances it may result in a fire.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the control unit with a quality assured component.
PARKING BRAKE MAY APPLY UNINTENTIONALLY
The brake pipe unions (Air Nipples) on the parking/hand brake system have been tightened above the specified torque setting. This could result in the unions failing and cause an unintentional deployment of the parking/hand brake.
Recall all affected vehicles where the unions will be replaced and the correct torque setting applied.
