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.
POSSIBILITY THAT HEADLIGHT BRIGHTNESS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE.
It is possible that the brightness of the headlights may reduce significantly over time due to the degradation of the headlight coating
Affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the reflectors of both headlights will be changed.

INLET PIPE AND BREATHER TUBE MAY LEAK
The fuel tank inlet pipe and breather tube may leak due to a pin hole caused by corrosion
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank pipes checked for corrosion and replaced as necessary
EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
There is a possibility that the airlines have been connected incorrectly which may lead to the emergency braking system becoming inoperative.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the airline position of the airline connections. If the connections are incorrect they will be connected to the correct positions.
POSSIBILITY OF STRESS CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK
Due to a material specification change combined with inadequate tool design and process control it is possible that stress cracking can occur at either the fuel tank vent valve ring welding the breather pipe weld or the filler pipe stub.
Replace the fuel tank with an improved design.

FUEL PUMP MOUNTED PIPE RETAINING TABS MAY FAIL
The fuel pipe plastic retaining tabs mounted on the fuel pump may fail and possibly result in a fuel leak.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install a new securing bracket made of steel to hold the fuel pipes in place.
EXCESSIVE OSCILLATION OF THE THROTTLE VALVE
The original software may generate excessive oscillation of the motorised throttle valve which in extremely rare cases causes the failure of its throttle stop. This results in the engine operating in safety mode with a possible reduction in braking assistance.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the ECU and either perform a download or replace the ECU.
THE FUEL LINE JUMPER TUBE MAY CHAFE AGAINST THE THROTTLE CABLE
The fuel line jumper tube may chafe against the throttle cable. This may then lead to a fuel leak.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified fuel line jumper tube. Additionally the tube will be re-routed and secured.
AIRBAG ECU IS NOT TO SPECIFICATION
The airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is incorrect to specification this reduces the number of impact configurations taken into consideration when activating the airbags. So an airbag may not deploy in as many advantageous situations.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag ECU.
POTENTIAL OF AN ODOUR AND SMOKE EMISSION FROM THE DASHBOARD
Potential of an odour and smoke emission from the dashboard
Affected vehicles will have a resistor removed from the wiring circuit
SEAT FIXING REAR BOLTS MAY FAIL
The rear fixing bolts of the FASP swivel seat can under extreme circumstances fail.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts replaced with those of a higher specification.

Recalled vehicles will have the subject bolts replaced with those of a higher specification.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK
Due to an improper washing process of a metal part within the brake master cylinder there is a possibility that the groove for installing the rubber seal ring which is located at the end of the master cylinder may be corroded. In this condition brake fluid may leak from the seal or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder which could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance.
Vehicles that are likely to be affected will be checked and a quality assured part fitted if necessary.
ENGINE MAY STALL
The impeller of the fuel pump sited in the fuel tank may deform. This condition could increase the rotational resistance of the impeller and in the worse case the fuel pump may lock which may in turn result in the engine stalling.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel pump with a modified part.

FRAME WELDS DO NOT MEET MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATION
Some of the frame welds are not to the manufacturers specification which in could lead to cracking of the affected welded joints. In the worst case the welded area could break resulting in rear suspension or lower cross member separation.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected. Any repairs will consist will consist of reinforcement of the welds where it is identified during the initial inspection that the weld bead shape is incorrect. A new counter-measure frame will be installed if it is identified that a reinforcement weld cannot be applied.
