Citroen C3 DS3 Driver and Passenger Airbag (Takata)
On affected vehicles the chemicals in the Takata airbags may deteriorate over time which may cause the inflator to rupture and lead to serious injury.
Owners of affected vehicles should immediately cease using their vehicle when safe to do so until the recall action has been completed. Affected vehicles will have the airbag modules replaced.
Replacing front passenger airbag
On some Audi A6 and A7 vehicles manufactured within a specific period the front passenger airbag installed may show signs of damage in transit. As a result in the event of an accident in which the front passenger airbag is triggered its restraining effect will be hindered.
The front passenger airbag unit must be replaced on the affected vehicles.
Voluntary Recall: MEYLE no. 416 050 0005 + 416 050 0005/S suitable for Porsche 911 Boxster and Cayman
Due to a manufacturing defect there may be a dimensional deviation in the affected control arms which can cause damage to the sub-frame and lead to steering problems.
Affected control arms will be replaced.

B4.5 and B6.7 Engine Control Module Replacement Safety Campaign
On affected engines the Engine Control Module (ECM) may develop an internal electrical short circuit that could possibly blow a fuse in the ECM’s electrical supply resulting in an engine stall without warning.
Replace the existing ECM with a new (remedy) ECM.
SRL250116 – EL-LEHEPU Replace electric power-steering pump.
The electrohydraulic power steering pumps (EHPS) may fail on eActros 983 and eEconic 956 model vehicles. Due to insufficient anti-corrosion protection at the electrical connections and production tolerances the electrohydraulic power steering pumps may fail. If both electrohydraulic power steering pumps at the front axle fail the steering forces suddenly and significantly increase as soon as the second electrohydraulic power steering pump fails.
Replace the electrohydraulic power steering pumps with optimized electrohydraulic power steering pumps as a precautionary measure on the potentially affected vehicles.

C0444 Traction Battery Replace FLE FEE 3 and C0470 Traction Battery repair FLE FEE 3 and C0510 Traction battery replace wave 2 FLE FEE 3 C0529 Traction battery replace wave 3 FLE FEE 3)
There is a risk that a small metal piece from a broken terminal fixation might come loose and create a short circuit between battery cells inside the traction battery which might lead to overheating. There will be a red warning in the instrument cluster to the driver if a short-circuit is detected inside the battery before the battery overheats.

SRPC2502 - Manufacturing of automatic Transmission AMG SPEEDSHIFT
Mercedes-Benz has determined that on certain G-Class (465 platform) vehicles the inner surface of the housing of the automatic transmission AMG SPEEDSHIFT might not meet specifications.
As a remedy Mercedes-Benz via its Mercedes-Benz service partners will replace the automatic transmission and oil cooler on the affected vehicles.

Citroen Autonomous Telematics Box failure after OTA update
Affected vehicles may have been equipped with an Autonomous Telematic Box (ATB) which does not work.
Change the ATB.
Defender P425 Dynamic Mode Stability
Affected vehicles have had an incorrect set of settings in Dynamic Mode. Dynamic Mode therefore does not provide adequate stability suspension stiffness nor provide adequate stability control system operation thereby increasing the risk of loss of vehicle control.
Vehicles will have dynamic mode disabled.
Citroen Autonomous Telematics Box failure after OTA update
Affected vehicles may have been equipped with an Autonomous Telematic Box (ATB) which does not work.
Change the ATB.
Rework Starter Generator Electrical Connection
On affected vehicles the 48v connection to the starter generator may not be secured to the correct specification.
Affected vehicles will have the connection checked and reworked if required.
XTRAIL (T33) Adaptive LED Headlight
On affected vehicles the Adaptive LED Headlight (ALH) configuration may be out of specification. In this condition the ALH may not function as intended and alternate between high and low beam mode despite the presence of other vehicles.
Update the adaptive LED headlights (ALH) control module software configuration with revised parameters.
XTRAIL (T33) Intelligent Speed Assistance
For certain vehicles due to incorrect software calibration the Intelligent Speed Assistance may not behave as intended.
Reconfigure the associated control units to address the issue.
Kia Ceed PHEV HCA Fuse Replacement
The printed circuit board (PCB) in the Hydraulic Clutch Actuator (HCA) may become contaminated with fluid. A fluid contaminated PCB may lead to an electrical short circuit which in extreme cases may potentially result in a fire in the engine compartment while driving.
Check vehicle for Diagnostic Trouble Codes if HCA related codes are found replace the HCA its connector and reduced amperage fuse modifying the fuse board to suit. If no related DTC are recorded fit reduced amperage fuse only modifying the fuse board to suit.
Kia Niro HCA Fuse Replacement
The printed circuit board (PCB) in the Hydraulic Clutch Actuator (HCA) may become contaminated with fluid. A fluid contaminated PCB may lead to an electrical short circuit which in extreme cases may potentially result in a fire in the engine compartment while driving.
Check vehicle for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) if HCA related codes are found replace the HCA the connector and reduced amperage fuse. If no related DTC are recorded fit reduced amperage fuse only.
Non-compliant motorcycle helmets and eye wear
Affected motorcycle helmets and eye protection do not meet UK safety standards.
