DRIVER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It has been identified that on the subject vehicles the side airbags are not defined as passenger and driver but as left and right hand. This has resulted in all vehicles being configured as left hand drive and therefore the system believes the right hand front seat to be the passenger seat. This can result in the driver's side airbag failing to deploy when required due to the system believing that the driver's seat is unoccupied.
Recalled vehicles will have the control module on all right hand drive vehicles re-configured.
HANDLEBARS MAY NOT BE SECURE
Mis-manufacture of the handlebar risers may lead to insufficient clamping load on the handle bar. Handlebar may move.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the handlebar risers.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY WORK LOOSE
The accelerator pedal plate may have been fitted with nuts that are not of the correct specification. In time the nuts may work loose making the pedal feel insecure.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the three accelerator pedal plate fixing nuts.
STEERING SYSTEM BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE
It has been identified that; due to the possibility of steering tie rod arm out of specification surface finish it's securing bolts may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering tie rod arm checked and modified as necessary. Additionally the securing bolts will be replaced.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF SERVICE BRAKE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the footvalve piston may become dislodged. Should this occur the service brakes may become inoperative.
Recalled vehicles will have the service brake footvalve replaced.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF SERVICE BRAKE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the footvalve piston may become dislodged. Should this occur the service brakes may become inoperative.
Recalled vehicles will have the service brake footvalve replaced.
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
It has been identified that an incorrect brake master cylinder and or brake fluid reservoir has been installed. In instances of the installation of an incorrect brake master cylinder the brake pedal will travel further before the brakes become effective. On vehicles fitted with an incorrect brake fluid reservoir the brake wear limit light will illuminate prematurely.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake master cylinder and or the brake fluid reservoir replaced.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF SERVICE BRAKE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the footvalve piston may become dislodged. Should this occur the service brakes may become inoperative.
Recalled vehicles will have the service brake footvalve replaced.
TYRE SIDE WALL MAY CRACK
It has been identified that bulging and cracking of the tyre sidewall may occur as the result of a manufacturing fault. Should these defects go unnoticed failure of the tyre may occur
Recalled vehicles will have their tyres replaced.
VEHICLE MAY NOT BE IN THE INTENDED GEAR
It has been identified that due to the formation of rust between the manual control shaft and the gear inhibitor switch the transmission may not move to the park position even though this may have been selected. As a result it may be impossible to start the vehicle additionally the vehicle may move unexpectedly whilst in park if the parking brake has not been applied.
Recalled vehicles will have the relevant components cleaned and fitted with a protective cover.
FOOTBRAKE VALVE MAY FAIL
The top bushing of the footbrake valve may move which in the worst case can decrease the ability to stop the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check test and where necessary replace the footbrake valve. In addition a yoke securing kit will be installed to all affected vehicles.

IMMEDIATE POWER LOSS COULD OCCUR
The short wiring harness from the rotary ignition switch may be incorrectly routed which in the worst case could cause the copper wires to separate and the engine to cut out and not able to restart.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the wiring harness. The wiring harness will be re-routed and replaced as necessary.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING
There is a possibility that a steering cover screw may not be sufficiently tight. This could lead to initially free play and noise in the steering which if not attended to eventually could result in the loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the steering gear.
HAZARD LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE ON ATTACHED TRAILERS
It has been identified that if the vehicle's ignition switch is off and the hazard lights are on they will not illuminate on any trailer attached to the vehicle.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a sub-harness.
POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a needle bearing has been omitted from the steering shaft. Additionally the cover screw may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in the cover screw becoming loose initiating free play and noise within the steering system. Ultimately steering control may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering gear inspected. The steering gear will be replaced should this be found to be necessary.

Recalled vehicles will have the steering gear inspected. The steering gear will be replaced should this be found to be necessary.
LOSS OF POWER STEERING FLUID
It has been identified that due to heat deterioration of the rubber the power steering feed hose may leak. If ignored loss of power assistance will ensue with the chance that hydraulic oil may leak onto the catalytic converter resulting in the generation of smoke and the potential of fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject hose replaced.
VEHICLE MAY LOSE POWER
It has been identified that due to a problem within the engine ECU (flexi-fuel engines only) the engine torque may be reduced with the attendant possibility that limp home mode may be activated.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine ECU software upgraded.

Recalled vehicles will have the engine ECU software upgraded.
OIL MAY LEAK FROM DRIVE AXLE
The drive axle/s pinion seal may leak. This will initially lead to oil leaking onto the road noise and transmission drag which if not attended to will damage final drive components and in the worst case the drive axle/s could lock up and control of the vehicle could be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the pinion seal/s

POSSIBILITY OF A FUEL LEAK WHICH MAY CAUSE FIRE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the fuel control valve diaphragm within the fuel valve assembly may not have been manufactured to specification. Due to poor adhesion of the rubber to nylon backing material fuel can seep through the nylon fibres to the vented side of the diaphragm. In the worst case fuel can drip slowly from the valve when the machine is stationary with the engine idling.
Recalled machines will be fitted with a countermeasure fuel valve set.
