GRID HEATER RE-CONNECTION ( IN CONJUNCTION WITH PREVIOUS RECALL REF. R/2010/001)
Following Recall R/2010/001 where it was identified that there was an issue with the grid heaters fitted to vehicles with EEV emission standard where they may suffer malfunctions or failures which could result in a short circuit. Should this occur the casting compound could melt and create a smouldering fire.
Recall the affected vehicles to install new software and reinstate the operation of the grid heater.
OIL MAY LEAK
Oil may leak from the rear shock absorber which may get on the rear tyre and cause a lack of adhesion tyre to road.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to fit a new shock absorber.
TYRE SIDEWALL MAY CRACK
It has been identified that Pirelli tyre type 215/40 ZR18 89W PZERO NERO annotated MO and F223 may suffer cracking of the sidewall. This can lead to loss of inflation pressure and under certain conditions can have an adverse effect on the safe handling of the vehicle.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject tyres replaced.
WHEELS MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the wheel studs of Hendrickson axles fitted with 17.5 inch wheels were tightened to a torque which was higher than that specified. It is therefore possible that the wheel studs have stretched. In this condition the wheel may no longer be secure.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject wheel studs and nuts replaced.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that water may ingress the brake drums causing premature brake lining wear. Should this occur the brake effort produced by the rear wheels may be reduced.
Recalled vehicles will have a seal fitted to the handbrake cable and the subject brake linings replaced.

It has been identified that water may ingress the brake drums causing premature brake lining wear. Should this occur the brake effort produced by the rear wheels may be reduced.
Recalled vehicles will have a seal fitted to the handbrake cable and the subject brake linings replaced.
STEERING POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE REDUCED
It has been identified that an incorrect version of the steering power assistance software has been uploaded.The effect of which may lead to stiffness within the steering system
Recalled vehicles will have a steering power assistance ECU upgrade.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that on subject machines the fuel tank front mountings may distort in reaction to severe frame damage occasioned in a frontal collision. This may result in fuel leakage from the weld of the front bracket to the tunnel. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Recalled machines will have braces fitted to the vulnerable area in order to reduce fuel tank front mounting distortion during frontal impact scenarios.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the fleece filter insert of the engine oil separator may become obstructed with dirt particles. It is therefore possible that an increase in pressure within the crankcase may occur with the result that oil could escape onto hot engine parts. Should this occur a fire may ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the original oil filter replaced with one of a cyclone type.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that heavy corrosion in the interior of the starter motor may develop following frequent starting procedures or very high mileages. As a result damage may occur to the starter wiring harness routed below the choke housing. This may result in a short circuit in the starter harness and the risk of a vehicle fire.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a protective cap at the rear of the choke housing.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It is possible that the multi-function switches can fail which can result in the kill-switch function being tripped. This can result in the engine cutting out and the loss of other functions.
Recall affected machines for a new improved switch to be installed.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It is possible that the multi-function switches can fail which can result in the kill-switch function being tripped. This can result in the engine cutting out and the loss of other functions.
Recall affected machines for a new improved switch to be installed.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the front seat electric heating elements may overheat. This can under certain operating conditions result in an interior fire or personal injury.
Recalled vehicles will have both front seat heating elements replaced.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
It is possible that the multi-function switches can fail which can result in the kill-switch function being tripped. This can result in the engine cutting out and the loss of other functions.
Recall affected machines for a new improved switch to be installed.

Recall affected machines for a new improved switch to be installed.
POSSIBLE REAR HUB AND BRAKE CALIPER DETACHMENT
It has been identified that a due to the failure of a mounting bolt/s a rear hub and brake caliper could detach.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts replaced with ones which have been quality assured.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that on some vehicles the weld seams of the transverse control arms for the front and rear axles may be faulty at the transition between the bushing and the tube. Inasmuch as there may be only spot welds present instead of a continuous weld seam. In this condition the transverse control arms cannot fully absorb the forces which might occur which can lead to the weld breaking.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject control arms checked for weld completeness. The arms will be changed if found to be non compliant.
SEAT MAY COLLAPSE WITHOUT WARNING
It has been identified that the front seats may collapse without warning. due to an electrical control box software issue.
Recalled vehicles will have the seat electrical control box replaced.
POWER STEERING FLUID MAY LEAK - RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that a joint between the power steering high pressure lines and the steering gear may not have been assembled correctly. This may result in a power steering hydraulic fluid leak and a sudden loss of steering assistance. Due to the pressure within the hydraulic system hydraulic fluid may be sprayed onto the engine with the attendant risk of fire.
Recalled vehicles will check the subject joint and if necessary replace any cross threaded bolt. At the same time the joint will be modified.
POSSIBLE INADVERTENT OPENING OF THE ENGINE BONNET
It has been identified that the welds which secure the bonnet locking assembly may prove inadequate in use. This can result in difficulty closing the bonnet or failure of the lock to properly engage.
Recalled vehicles will have a strengthening component fitted to the bonnet lining to ensure that the trigger cable remains firmly secured to the bonnet. In very rare cases and only if necessarythe bonnet will be replaced.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It has been identified that the possibility exists under certain driving conditions that the intermediate steering shaft might disconnect from the steering column. Should this occur loss of steering control would result.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject steering shaft fixation inspected any deficiencies found will be rectified as necessary.
INADVERTENT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
It has been identified that water with a high salt content may enter the bank angle sensor coupler when the rear wheel speed is relatively high due to gaps between the rear fender components. This water can result in corrosion of the coupler terminals which in turn may lead to a failure of the terminal or harness with possible loss of engine power.
Recalled machines will be fitted with a sponge between the rear fender components to prevent water ingress into the bank angle sensor coupling.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
It has been identified that within the mechanism of the accelerator pedal there is a friction lever which interacts with a sliding surface. Over time and under certain conditionsthe contact surfaces may generated excessive friction and latterly the movement of the accelerator pedal. This over time and under certain conditions will result in the accelerator pedal becoming intermittently more difficult to push; or slower to return. In rare instances the accelerator pedal can remain in the partially depressed position.
Recalled vehicles will have a reinforcing plate fitted within the accelerator pedal mechanism which will ensure continued correct functionality.
