Showing 12851–12875 of 15,570 recalls.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that due to a possible communication error between the Central Electronic Module (CEM)and the Engine Control Module (ECM) the engine may over run and break down.
Recalled vehicles will have new software downloaded into the CEM
REAR BRAKE PIPE NUT MAY NOT BE TORQUED CORRECTLY
There is a possibility that a brake pipe nut on the rear brake system may be incorrectly torqued which may lead to loss of brake fluid and loss of brake efficiency
Recall affected machines and check and if required reapply correct torque to brake pipe nut
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY NOT ILLUMINATE.
Instrument cluster may not illuminate at all times.
Recall vehicles and check the function of the instrument panel. If found to be faulty the instrument panel will be changed.

POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAK
It has been identified that on certain vehicles a fault may be present on the diesel fuel circuit return pipe ay the location of the pressure sensor.In the manufacture of the pipe an excess of material resulted in a reduction of the pipe's internal diameter therefore restricting the fuel flow and a risk of a diesel leak from the fuel connector.
Subject vehicles will have the diesel fuel delivery pressure in the injection pump checked. This will check the conformity of the pipe which in the case of nonconformity will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
A fuse within an electronic control module may become loose. This can result in the vehicle failing to start. In the worst case the engine may cut out whilst the vehicle is being driven.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject module replaced.
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL MAY MALFUNCTION
The intelligent stability control unit may not function correctly.
Recalled vehicles will have the intelligent stability control unit replaced.
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL MAY MALFUNCTION
The intelligent stability control unit may not function correctly.
Recalled vehicles will have the intelligent stability control unit replaced.
HANDBRAKE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the handbrake may fail.
Recalled vehicles will have the handbrake assembly replaced.
WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY FAIL TO OPERATE
The windscreen wipers may fail to operate.
Recalled vehicles will have the windscreen wiper motor replaced.
STEERING SHAFT MAY LOOSEN
The steering column shaft may not have been tightened correctly. If left this will progress to steering wheel free movement and knocking noise. Ultimately there will be a loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the steering shaft for security. If the steering shaft is insecure the shaft must be replaced.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified that due to a faulty control unit the airbag might not deploy in the event of a collision.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified control unit.
BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID MAY LEAK
There is a possibility that the clutch master cylinder inlet union might fail causing a loss of clutch/brake fluid and possible gear selection problems.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the clutch master cylinder inlet union with one that conforms to specification.
SEAT BELT FASTENINGS MAY NOT BE SECURE
The seat belt fastenings may not be secure.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the fastenings and replace where necessary.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified that due to a faulty control unit the airbag might not deploy in the event of a collision.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified control unit.
REAR SUSPENSION BOLT MAY SHEAR
It has been identified following engineering investigation that the rear suspension drag link to drop link sleeves and bolt as fitted to a number of models requires replacement. If left the bolt may bend or in the worst case shear. Should the bolt shear this would result in the machine's rear end dropping until the rear tyre came into contact with the underside of the rear mudguard.
Subject machines will have the suspension link sleeve and bolt replaced.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
The battery to starter motor cable is routed close to the exhaust. In some circumstances the insulation might melt.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional cable tie to the battery to starter motor cable.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER ASSISTANCE
A temporary fault in the greasing system on the brake servo sealing ring could lead to the sealing ring being subject to wear. In unfavourable conditions the seal may be pressed into the brake servo housing as a consequence of increased friction. The arising leak will cause a hissing sound audible within the vehicle interior with the additional consequence that there may be a risk that loss of brake assistance will ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake servo replaced.
SUSPENSION COIL SPRINGS MAY BREAK
Under environmental conditions that require the intensive use of salt on the roads corrosive deposits may infiltrate the rubber plate which supports the front suspension springs initiating seats of corrosion which may lead to the spring breaking after a period of time.
To avoid damage to a tyre in the event of spring breakage a plate will be fitted which will contain the spring.

In unfavourable conditions the seal may be pressed into the brake servo housing as a consequence of increased friction. The arising leak will cause a hissing sound audible within the vehicle interior with the additional consequence that there may be a risk that loss of brake assistance will ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake servo replaced.
POWER STEERING MAY BE LOST
The electrical power steering warning lamp may illuminate and power assistance to the steering will be lost. The driver will not experience any symptoms prior to the failure.
The electric power steering control unit will be tested and replaced as necessary
POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAK
It has been identified that on certain vehicles a fault may be present on the diesel fuel circuit return pipe at the location of the pressure sensor.In the manufacture of the pipe an excess of material resulted in a reduction of the pipe's internal diameter therefore restricting the fuel flow and a risk of a diesel leak from the fuel connector.
Subject vehicles will have the diesel fuel delivery pressure in the injection pump checked. This will check the conformity of the pipe which in the case of nonconformity will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
Due to improper moulding of the body of the crankshaft position sensor engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor wiring connector. In this condition the engine oil within the sensor's wiring connector may expand due to engine heat and could deform the sensor. In the worst case the connector may become disconnected which could cause the engine to stall while driving and restarting would not be possible.
Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft position sensor replaced.
