POWER STEERING MAY BE LOST
It has been identified that the power steering pump drive belts could de-laminate and fail. Should this occur drive to the power steering pump would be lost likewise the assistance to the steering.
Recalled vehicles will have the power steering drive belts checked and renewed should they be found to be within the affected batch.

Recalled vehicles will have the power steering drive belts checked and renewed should they be found to be within the affected batch.
STEERING COULD BECOME INCREASINGLY STIFF.
It has been identified that; due to a possible lack of lubricant between the steering rack and pinion the steering may become increasingly stiff to operate. This can eventually lead to damage to the steering rack teeth. As a consequence the steering operation of the vehicle may become increasingly difficult.
Recalled vehicles will have the steering rack inspected for damage. If no damage is evident the rack and pinion will be lubricated. Should any damage be in evidence the steering rack will be replaced.
FRONT SUSPENSION ARM MOUNTINGS - FAILURE OF WELD
There is a possibility that corrosion may be present near the welds for the front suspension arm front mountings on the front cross member.Should this be the case in time this could lead to noise whilst driving and the possibility that the weld could fail. Failure of the weld may lead to loss of vehicle stability.
Recalled vehicle will be checked to ascertain whether corrosion is present near the front suspension mountings. If this is found to be the case the front cross member will be replaced. If corrosion is not present a front cross member strengthening kit will be fitted.
TYRE VALVE MAY BREAK CAUSING RAPID DEFLATION (STEEL WHEELS)
It has been identified that due to manufacture from an incorrect material the tyre inflation valve may break. Should this occur rapid deflation of the tyre and possible vehicle instability would occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the tyre inflation valve replaced on all steel wheels including the spare.
FRONT WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that water may ingress into the front windscreen wiper motor. Should this occur the wipers may become inoperative. In conditions of poor visibility this may result in impaired driver visibility.
Recalled vehicles will have the front windscreen wiper motor fitted with a protective cover.
REAR WHEEL BEARING MAY FAIL
Some motorcycles left the factory with an incorrect circlip fitted to the left hand side of the wheel bearing guide. It is possible for the circlip to rub against the spacing bushing and the resultant metal particles may penetrate the wheel bearing and cause failure. The metal particles may also cause incorrect ABS sensor signals where the warning lamp will illuminated but the brake will still function.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the rear wheel bearings seals circlip and spacing bushing.
FUEL MAY LEAK
In isolated cases it is possible for the fuel lines to leak as a result of damage during their manufacture.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fuel lines.
INSUFFICIENT WELD PENETRATION ON DRAWBAR MAY RESULT IN TRAILER DETACHMENT
It has been identified that insufficient weld penetration at the reinforcement bush for the extending drawbar caused trailer detachment.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a non-extendable drawbar.
PROPSHAFT MAY DETACH
It has been identified that failure of the propshaft universal joint may occur which can cause the propshaft to detach. On van versions the propshaft may contact the fuel tank and or the fuel lines.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a quality assured propshaft.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Under certain circumstances it is possible that if the customers do not properly secure the fuel cap or if it is knocked by the rider's body during off road use then the fuel tank cap may leak and allow fuel to leak over the rider and engine.
To overcome this issue the manufacturer is to recall the likely affected machines to fit a new design of self locking fuel cap.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING
It has been identified that poor protection of the power steering pump earth terminal; could result in loss of power assistance to the steering.
Recalled vehicles will have the power steering pump earth terminal protection reinforced.
LOSS OF VEHICLE FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION
A possibility exists that the suspension wishbone may crack and in the worst case fail completely causing loss of suspension and direction control
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the wishbone.
POTENTIAL DETACHMENT OF REAR HUB ASSEMBLY
It has been identified that due to possible incorrect assembly of the rear axle hub through omission of the bearing retaining nut split pin. The potential exists for detachment of a rear hub assembly.
Recalled vehicles will be checked to ensure completeness of the assembly and the presence of split pins in both rear hubs.
POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
It has been identified that a brake hose may become worn as a result of rubbing contact against the heat shield protecting the exhaust system. This may lead in extreme cases to a leak from a brake circuit which manifests itself in increased brake pedal travel.
Recalled vehicles will have the exhaust heat shield adjusted in order to maintain the correct distance from the subject brake hose. Should the hose display signs of wear it will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAK
It has been identified that during the fuel tank production process the joint between the tank and the fuel supply pipe assembly may not have been produced to the correct standard. Should this indeed be the case leakage from the supply pipe area of the fuel tank might occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank inspected and replaced as necessary.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the contacts in the cab wiring loom may oxidize and cause overheating of the connector block. In the worst case this may result in a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the suspect wires removed from the connector block. Theses will then be reconnected using heat shrink terminals.
STEERING MAY FAIL
The steering upper universal joint may be incorrectly located and secured on the shaft. Steering control may be affected.
Recall affected vehiclescheck if joint located correctly if not reposition and fit and correctly torque new securing bolt.

Recall affected vehiclescheck if joint located correctly if not reposition and fit and correctly torque new securing bolt.
EXHAUST FUMES COULD ENTER THE CAB AREA
Engine exhaust fumes may travel up the 'B' post and enter the cab area.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a new designed exhaust extension
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY FAIL
The front brakes may fail as a result of a fault in the brake master cylinder.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new brake master cylinders.
FRONT HEAD RESTRAINT MAY NOT RETAIN ITS POSITION IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT.
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the front seat head restraint components may have been incorrectly welded into position in the seat frame. This in certain cases can cause the sleeve to become loose to the seat frame. This has the potential to prevent the front seat head restraints retaining their position in the event of an impact.
Recalled vehicles will have the fabrication of the two front seat back frames checked. These will be replaced if found to be necessary.
