CRACK MAY OCCUR WITIN A CAPACITOR INSIDE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft position sensor may overheat causing the engine management warning light to illuminate and in the worst case a localised thermal incident may occur
Vehicles likely to be affected will be recalled and the sensor checked. If affected the sensor will be replaced with a quality assured unit and an in-line fuse added
CRACK MAY OCCUR WITIN A CAPACITOR INSIDE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft position sensor may overheat causing the engine management warning light to illuminate and in the worst case a localised thermal incident may occur
Vehicles likely to be affected will be recalled and the sensor checked. If affected the sensor will be replaced with a quality assured unit and an in-line fuse added
VSC WARNING LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE AND THE SYSTEM STOP WORKING
In rare cases the VSC (vehicle Stability Control) warning light may illuminate and the system stop working due to the Yaw rate sensor becoming disconnected internally. In even rarer cases the VSC may not function correctly even if the VSC light is not illuminated (partial disconnection). In these circumstances the VSC will not function. The VSC helps to prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of a strong front wheel skid or a strong rear wheel skid during cornering. The normal braking system is unaffected.
Recall vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect. If necessary replace the Yaw rate sensor.
POSSIBILITY THAT CONTACTS IN THE CAD LOOM WILL OXIDIZE AND OVERHEAT THE CONNECTORS
Possibility that contacts within the CAD loom may oxidize and cause overheating of the connectors
Recall likely to be affected vehicles check the connectors and reposition them within the wiring loom.
POOR ADHESION OF SPACE SAVER SPARE WHEEL SPEED RESTRICTION LABEL
On vehicles supplied with a space saver spare wheel poor adhesion of the speed restriction label could result in the label becoming detached.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the speed restriction label will be replaced.
YAW RATE SENSOR HAS INTERNALLY DELAMINATED
X-TYPE vehicles equipped with a dynamic stability control may have been fitted with a yaw rate sensor that has internally delaminated this could result in actuation of the control system incorrectly resulting in uneven and unexpected application of the brakes.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled and an inspection of the yaw rate sensor will be undertaken. Should a vehicle be found which has been fitted with a sensor within the affected production batch the sensor will be replaced.
POOR ADHESION OF SPACE SAVER SPARE WHEEL SPEED RESTRICTION LABEL
On vehicles supplied with a space saver spare wheel poor adhesion of the speed restriction label could result in the label becoming detached.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the speed restriction label will be replaced.
POOR ADHESION OF SPACE SAVER SPARE WHEEL SPEED RESTRICTION LABEL
On vehicles supplied with a space saver spare wheel poor adhesion of the speed restriction label could result in the label becoming detached.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the speed restriction label will be replaced.
POSSIBILE UNINTENTIONAL APPLICATION OF PARKING BRAKE
The possibility exists that the electronic parking brake (EPB) may apply unintentionally which can result in the vehicle decelerating and in extreme cases cause the rear wheels locking up.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the electronic parking brake module on those vehicles equipped with the AF level of module with one of a later level. Additionally add a link lead and wiper motor suppression module.
INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS MAY FAIL
Due to the possibility of a transistor failure in the multiplex control system the instrument panel lights may fail.
Affected vehicles will be recalled and the affected part replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE FLUIDS AND EXTENDED PEDAL TRAVEL
The brake hoses may chafe on the wheel aches and in extreme cases cause a brake fluid leak. The driver will be informed of the defect by the illumination of a warning lamp on the dashboard. If ignored then this will result in longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the affected vehicles and visually inspect the front brake hoses reinforcement and protection. The brake hoses if worn will be replaced.
STEERING WHEEL MOUNTING MAY NOT CONFORM
It has been established that in certain cases the tightness of the steering wheel mounting may not be to specification.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time as a preventative measure the steering wheel will be replaced and it's mounting strengthened.
CONNECTIONS ON THE CONTROL ARM TO THE REAR AXLE MAY BECOME LOOSE
The rear axle control arms may not have been fitted as intended. In consequence the connections on the control arms concerned may become loose causing unacceptable lateral forces to be applied to the securing bolts. In this situation exact alignment of the wheels can no longer be guaranteed.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject control arms checked for correct alignment and if found not to have been fitted as intended they may require to be replaced.
INCORRECT TYRE VALVES FITTED
Risk that some wheels are fitted with the incorrect tyre pressure valves. If the valve fails the wheel could deflate whilst in use and effect the directional control of the vehicle.
Manufacturer to send safety recall letter to owners of the vehicles that are likely to be affected. From the instructions/descriptions contained within the letter owners will be able to ascertain if the incorrect valves are fitted. On contacting Swift a set of correct valves will be supplied with a letter entitling the owner to have the valves fitted free of charge at their nearest ATS depot.
POSSIBILITY OF POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKAGE
The radiation of heat from the exhaust pipe may cause heat deterioration of the high pressure steering hoses. This will result in cracking of the hoses and the leak of steering fluid.
Replace the high-pressure hoses on all the affected vehicles with ones fitted with additional heat resistance material.
BOTTOM EYELET COULD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION UNIT BODY.
There is a possibility of poor weld penetration between the bottom eyelet and the main rear suspension unit body. Under certain conditions there is a potential for the power eyelet to become detached compromising the machines' stability.
Recall affected machines and fit new suspension unit.

THE BRAKE HOSE MAY CHAFE AND LEAK
The brake hoses may chafe on the wheel aches and in extreme cases cause a brake fluid leak. The driver will be informed of the defect by the illumination of a warning lamp on the dashboard. If ignored then this will result in longer than expected stopping distances.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and visually inspect the front brake hoses reinforcement and protection. The brake hoses if worn will be replaced.
POSSIBLE SLACKENING OF TOWING HOOK CROSS MEMBER RETAINING NUTS
There is a possibility of slackening of the towing hook cross member retaining nuts
Recall affected vehicles and replace the cross beam retaining bolts & nuts and the towing hook securing nuts.
PULLEY MAY DETACH FROM THE POWER STEERING OIL PUMP
The possibility exists that the power steering oil pump pulley retaining nut may become loose resulting if the vehicle continues to be driven in the pulley becoming detached. In the worst case due to loss of drive to the water pump the engine may seize.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the pulley retaining nut with a modified version which will be loctited in place and tightened to an increased torque.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE ROLL-OVER FUEL SHUT OFF FLOAT VALVES MAY FRACTURE
A defect has been found within the roll-over fuel shut off valves located in the fuel tanks. This creates the possibility that the affected component may fracture allowing fuel vapour to be released with the potential for a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the roll-over valves replaced with a modified type.
