Showing 12701–12725 of 15,570 recalls.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY FAIL
The windscreen wiper wiring may be contacted by the wiper mechanism. If there is prolonged contact between the wiring and mechanism there is a risk of the wiper function failing.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary reposition the wiring.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
The friction material of the brake pad may become de-bonded which would lead to greater than expected stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake pads.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE LOST
The axle fastner of the rear axle panhard rod may fail. This will initially cause lateral movement of the axle which if ignored may lead to loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the axle fastner of the panhard rod.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER EXCESSIVE HEAT
The diesel particulate filters (DPF) of the 2.7 litre engine may exhibit smoke and or fire from the underside of the vehicle flames emanating from within the rear exhaust tailpipe or an orange glow from the underside of the vehicle. Heat from within the DPF can radiate to the surrounding vehicle components and may lead to heating of the underside of the transmission tunnel and subsequent melting of interior components with the potential for an interior fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the engine management control module re-programmed with the latest calibration file. The vehicle will self test for DPF blockage which where required will be replaced.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the axle fastner of the panhard rod.
ENGINE POWER MAY BE LOST
It is possible that breakage of the ancillary devices pulley on the crankshaft may occur. Should this happen there is the possibility that engine power and functions such as power assisted steering and braking assistance may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft pulley inspected and changed should this be necessary.

Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft pulley inspected and changed should this be necessary.
PARKING BRAKE CABLE MAY DETACH
Parking brake cable end fixing may detach resulting in loss of parking brake
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the cable end position and if necessary refix in the correct position and adjust as necessary. Cables to be replaced as necessary.
ENGINE POWER MAY BE LOST
It is possible that breakage of the ancillary devices pulley on the crankshaft may occur. Should this happen there is the possibility that engine power and functions such as power assisted steering and braking assistance may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft pulley inspected and changed should this be necessary.
STEERING MAY BE LOST
It has been found that some front suspension wishbone mounting eyes have insufficient weld applied. This could cause a front suspension to collapse and the loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the senpension arms and replace the suspension arms where necessary.
ENGINE POWER MAY BE LOST
It is possible that breakage of the ancillary devices pulley on the crankshaft may occur. Should this happen there is the possibility that engine power and functions such as power assisted steering and braking assistance may be lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft pulley inspected and changed should this be necessary.
LOAD NET SUPPORT BRACKETS MAY FAIL
It has been identified that; certain welds for the front and rear load net fixings may not be to the required specification. In this condition there is a risk that under certain driving conditions such as sudden braking the brackets may fail causing the luggage to become insecure.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject welds inspected and re-welded should this prove to be necessary.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY WILL BE REDUCED
A reflective heat shield may be incorrectly fitted or missing. This could lead to the servo pipe being damaged and the loss of brake servo assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to ensure correct fitment of the reflective sheath.
POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
It has been identified that the alternator terminal wiring could be positioned too close to the exhaust heat shield. Under extreme conditions this proximity could result in an electrical short circuit.
Recalled vehicles will checked and the subject terminal repositioned as necessary.
STOP LIGHT FAILURE
Under particular circumstances of use the potential exists for the stop light switch to melt due to overheating of the grease in the circuit switches with the potential for coking of the contacts. This can result in failure of the stop lights and overheating at the pedal floor or smoke in the passenger compartment.
Recalled vehicles will have the stop light switch replaced.

This can result in failure of the stop lights and overheating at the pedal floor or smoke in the passenger compartment.
Recalled vehicles will have the stop light switch replaced.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
It is possible that the differential lock switches may have been supplied with a defective printed circuit board. This could result in the differential not engaging turning off without warning or in the worst case the differential may engage without warning which could affect directional control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the differential switches.
WHEEL NUTS COULD CRACK
It has been identified due to incorrect heat treatment that the wheel nuts may become brittle and develop a crack in the conical washer.
Recalled vehicles will have the wheel nuts replaced.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The fuel pump relay may fail which will result in either the engine not starting or stalling.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary place the fuel pump relay.
CLOSE PROXIMITY MIRROR MAY FAIL
Due to a fault within the raw material the close proximity mirror may fail due to vibration.
The close proximity mirrors will be replaced on subject vehicles.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The fuel pump relay may fail which will result in either the engine not starting or stalling.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary place the fuel pump relay.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary place the fuel pump relay.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
It is possible that an incorrect size terminal may have been fitted to the starter wiring harness. It could result in the wiring not being crimped correctly and cause a detachment of the wiring which could result in a short circuit.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the starter-alternator wiring harness.
