Showing 11526–11550 of 15,570 recalls.
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.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Under certain driving conditions the transmission fluid may overheat. Continuous operations under these conditions may cause the fluid to boil over and come into contact with hot exhaust and engine components which might lead to an under bonnet fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogramme the cabin compartment computer to add a transmission temperature warning feature. An addendum will also be added to the Owner's Manual.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that on certain 1.8 litre engines the fuel feed pipe connection with the swaging tube may be loose. Should this be the case the fuel pipe may detach resulting in a fuel leak.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel feed pipe connection inspected. The fuel feed pipe will be replaced.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Fuel may leak from a defective fuel pressure line. Although unlikely there is a potential that an external ignition source could ignite the fuel and result in a fire in the driver's side wheel arch area.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the fuel pressure line.
REAR BENCH SEAT MAY JAM
The rear passengers may not be sufficiently restrained during an accident if the manually adjustable bench seat mechanism jams.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a reinforcement bracket and a cable tie to the seat adjustment mechanism.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
There is a possibility that the drivers seat belt pretensioner cable may fail through fatigue and therefore not restrain the driver correctly during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the pretensioner with one that is redesigned.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The front right hand drive-shaft may fail.
Recall the affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the right hand drive-shaft
LOSS OF STEERING
Concentrated stress at the start of the threaded portion of the tracking link arm can cause metal fatigue which will result in a fatigue fracture. The issue can be identified during routine maintenance. However if the issue is not addressed then failure can occur and steering can fail although the vehicle can be stopped safely.
All the affected machines will have their steering tracking link arm replaced with a new modified arm.

BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL
In some cases a higher electric current may cause the shift solenoid circuit contact in the stop lamp switch to burn/melt. Additionally the auto transmission selector may not move from the Park position
Recall affected vehicles and replace stop lamp switch.
REAR AXLE MAY NOT BE SECURE
Incorrectly fitted panhard rod mounting bolts may fail and lead to the rear axle developing lateral movement.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new panhard rod mounting bolts to the correct torque.
FRONT SEAT BELT MOUNT MAY BECOME DETACHED
It is possible that the position of the front seat could affect the security front seat belt mounting. In the worst case the seat belt may become detached from the seat during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional locking element to the affected seat belt mountings.
TYRE VALVE MAY FAIL
The tyre valves may fail as they are rated to 70psi and the maximum operating pressure for the tyre is 80psi. Note: the recommended operating pressures for the tyres when fitted to the vehicles in question are between 50 and 70psi. It is only when the tyre pressure is over 70psi that a failure might occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rubber valves with higher rated metal bolt in valves.

BRAKE LIGHTS MAY FAIL
An assembly fault in the wiring harness may induce a high current in the brake light shift lock solenoid which may burn/melt the contacts.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the Brake Light Switch and fit modified wiring harness.
SUN SHIELD MAY DETACH
It is possible that the locking hook on the sunshield may not engage correctly into the lock catch on the windscreen frame. If this occurs then the shield can open when the vehicle is travelling at high speeds.
Recall the affected vehicles for the shield catch to be replaced.
AUXILIARY DRIVE BELT MAY DETACH
The Auxiliary Belt Tensioner may fail resulting in loss of Power Assisted Steeering and loss of Drive
Recall affected vehicles to replace the Tensioner and Drive Belt.
