ECM FAULT
It has been identified that a potential fault within the engine control module can result in the loss of engine speed control (throttle response) and the inability to switch the engine off via the normal shut down procedure.
To remedy the concern recalled vehicles will receive a software upgrade.
TRACK AND DROP ARM RETAINING BOLTS MAY BE INCORRECTLY TIGHTENED
The retaining bolts of the drop arm and track arms may not have been tightened to the correct torque. With the possibility that the bolts may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts tightened to the correct torque.
TRACK AND DROP ARM RETAINING BOLTS MAY BE INCORRECTLY TIGHTENED
The retaining bolts of the drop arm and track arms may not have been tightened to the correct torque. With the possibility that the bolts may become loose.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts tightened to the correct torque.
WASTE WATER TANK CAN CONTACT THE BRAKE COMPENSATOR
The possibility exists that the waste water tank may contact the parking brake compensator and interfere with operation.
Recalled vehicles will have the waste water tank replaced with that of a modified design
WHEEL HUBS MAY CRACK
Cracks may appear on the hubs of the non-driven axles in the vicinity of the wheel mounts
Recalled vehicles will have the subject hubs replaced.
POSSIBLE BREAKAGE OF A FRONT SUSPENSION FORK
The possibility exists that the forks which fasten the lower suspension levers to the chassis may have been fitted incorrectly thus creating increased stress in the threaded pin anchorage area. This could result in the possible breakage of the fork.
Recalled vehicles will have the suspension forks replaced.
STEERING RACK SUB-FRAME MAY CRACK
The steering rack sub-frame may develop a crack in the area of the two fixing points nearest the steering column. This could result in the steering rack becoming loose and a reduction of vehicle control. Potential early symptoms noticed by the driver could be vibrations noises and unusual feeling through the steering wheel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and weld brackets of improved design to the sub-frame.
AIRBAG SYSTEM MAY MALFUNCTION
Some cases have been found where inadequate drainage of water condensing from the air conditioning system has caused water to run under the carpet. This in turn may lead to the airbag warning light coming on or in extreme cases lead to airbag systems malfunctioning.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected for modification of the drainage tube and the anti return valve.
BATTERY HARNESS TIE BAND NEEDS REROUTING
The battery harness may not be sufficiently secured. There is a chance if not noticed during servicing that the insulation of the harness could chaff and expose the wiring. This could then generate sparks and excessive heat within the engine bay.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary fit an extra cable securing band.
LOAD LOCKING DEVICE RELEASES WHEN EMERGENCY LINE BECOMES DETACHED
The load carrying skip retaining devices will release should air pressure in the trailer emergency line be lost.
Recalled vehicles will be retrofitted with a 3/2 valve which will retain the skip retaining devices in place should emergency air pressure be lost. Additionally whilst the vehicles are being modified the area in the vicinity of the sliding draw bar coupling will be inspected for fatigue or fractures.
BRAKE PEDAL TO MASTER CYLINDER CLEVIS PIN CAN BECOME DETACHED
The clevis pin which secures the brake master cylinder push rod to the brake pedal cross shaft may become detached due to the possible non-fitment of the securing clip.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be checked for the installation of the securing clip. Should it be found that the securing clip has not been fitted one will be installed.
BRAKE PEDAL TO MASTER CYLINDER CLEVIS PIN CAN BECOME DETACHED
The clevis pin which secures the brake master cylinder push rod to the brake pedal cross shaft may become detached due to the possible non-fitment of the securing clip.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be checked for the installation of the securing clip. Should it be found that the securing clip has not been fitted one will be installed.
ENGINE WIRING HARNESS MAY CHAFE CAUSING LOCALISED OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY A FIRE
The engine wiring harness may chafe and cause localised overheating. In extreme cases this may result in a fire.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and inspect the engine wiring harness repairing individual cables as necessary. The harness will then be enclosed within a protective sheath.
THE RETURN SPRING PIN ON THE SIDE STAND MAY FAIL AND THE STAND MAY GO DOWN
The return spring pin for the side stand is not to specification and could fail. This will allow the side side to drop down whilst the machine is being ridden.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new side stand.
POSSIBILITY OF WATER INGRESS INTO ADR BATTERY RELAY
The possibility exists that water may ingress the ADR battery main relay. This may cause corrosion and the engine to stall.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a new battery connecting lead.
CAB CONNECTION RAIL MAY NEED TO BE RETORQUED OR REPLACED.
The mounting rail which connects the 24 volt positive supply between the chassis and the cab may be under torqued.
Recall affected vehicles and re-torque the mounting rail. If found to be necessary the connection panel will also be replaced.
STICKING OF ONE WAY VALVE IN ENGINE VENTILATION SYSTEM
The possibility exists that a one way valve within the engine breather system may stick. Should this occur there is the possibility that the crankcases could pressurise which may result in oil seals failing allowing oil to escape from the engine. there is also the possibility that some oil could make its way onto the road wheels and tyres.
Recalled machines will have the crankcase breather valve reworked to a new specification.
CAB CONNECTION RAIL MAY NEED TO BE RETORQUED OR REPLACED.
The mounting rail which connects the 24 volt positive supply between the chassis and the cab may be under torqued.
Recall affected vehicles and re-torque the mounting rail. If found to be necessary the connection panel will also be replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE IN THE FRIDGE
The material used to seal the refrigerator is combustible and may catch fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the excess material of the seal removed.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK
A fuel leak may result due to cracking of the recirculation pipe flange on the fuel tank when the tank is filled to the maximum.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank inspected for cracks and replaced if necessary.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK
A fuel leak may result due to cracking of the recirculation pipe flange on the fuel tank when the tank is filled to the maximum.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank inspected for cracks and replaced if necessary.
RISK OF A SHORT CIRCUIT
The battery main cable may chafe on a bracket which may lead to a short circuit
Recalled vehicles will have an additional bracket fitted which has been deficient from production.
STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
A risk exists that the steering column intermediate shaft has been incorrectly fitted.
Recalled vehicles will have the position of the mounting yolk of the intermediate shaft checked and modified as necessary.
AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT MAY NOT BE TO STANDARD
The air bag control unit may be underestimating the significance of an impact for the purposes of deploying the airbags.
Recalled vehicles will have the airbag control unit replaced.
REAR FIXING BOLTS FOR SWIVEL SEAT MAY FAIL
The rear fixing bolts for the FASP swivel seat can in extreme circumstances fail. If the bolts do fail the rear of the seat runners will no longer be attached to the floor pan. This concern was realised during industry wide testing.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the 20mm 10.9 tensile strength allen key head bolts with 20mm 12.9 tensile strength Unbrako bolts.
