INCORRECT SPECIFICATION SHOCK ABSORBERS FITTED TO FRONT SUSPENSION
The incorrect specification shock absorbers may have been fitted during manufacture
Recall affected vehicles and replace the incorrect shock absorbers with correctly specified units.
FRONT SUSPENSION FASTNERS MAY NOT BE TO THE CORRECT TORQUE
Vehicles may have been produced with the front suspension fastenings incorrectly tightened.
Affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the subject fastenings will be slackened off and then re-torqued.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE SPROCKET BOLT AT THE REAR SIDE OF THE CAMSHAFT COULD BREAK
The timing chain tensioner may become defective which can result in the timing chain jamming. Should this occur the engine may stall or fail to start. The condition may also result in the camshaft turning in a non-uniform fashion which could lead to the failure of the vacuum pump drive and a reduction in braking assistance.
Recalled vehicles will have the camshaft chain guide and tensioner replaced.

STEERING COLUMN MAY FAIL
There is a possibility of the steering column failing. The recall includes the vehicles that have had the steering column replaced under a previous recall notice.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering column with one that has been tested and certified.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO INNER TUBES DUE TO PROTRUDING WHEEL SPOKES
The possibility exists that damage to the innertubes of certain machines may have been caused by wheel spokes protruding through the nipple on the inside of the wheel rim
Recall likely to be affected machines and strip the tyres and rim bands from the front and rear wheels and inspect the nipples for protruding spokes. Any spokes found to be protruding above the nipple will be ground flush. Should any damage be found on an innertube this will be replaced.
TYRE VALVES MAY LEAK WHERE FITTED IN WHEEL.
The tyre valve may not be to specification and could leak at its fitting in the wheel.
Recall the affected vehicles and fit new tyre valves that comply with the specification.
POSSIBILITY THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW A SLOWER SPEED THAN ACTUAL RIDING SPEED
Due to a speedometer computer programme error the possibility exists that the speedometer may indicate a slower than actual speed.
Recalled machines will be fitted with a countermeasure speedometer.
INCORRECT SPECIFICATION METAL BRAKE PIPES MAY BE FITTED TO REAR BRAKING SYSTEM
Potential fitment of incorrect specification metal brake pipes to the rear braking system.
Affected vehicles will have the rear brake pipes inspected for conformity of specification and changed should a non - compliance be found.
VEHICLE MAY CATCH FIRE
The ABS warning light may come on when driving. If ignored the vehicle may catch fire
Recall affected vehicles replace earth wire and grease contacts in ABS module.
THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE CORRECTLY FITTED WITH A REAR SEAT ANCHORAGE POINT STRENGTHENER
It is a possibility that vehicles may not be correctly fitted with a rear seat anchorage point strengthener. If the strengthener is not fitted the vehicle will not comply with the defined retention criteria in the case of an accident.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for the presence of the seat anchorage strengthener. In cases where it is not in place the vehicle will be returned to specification.
WIRING HARNESS MAY RUB AGAINST FRAME
It has been identified that the potential exists for the wiring harness to chafe on the edge of the frame and eventually wear through. Should this situation arise an electrical short circuit may occur with the result that certain electrical components may cease to function and in the extreme the machine may stop.
Likely to be affected machines will be recalled during which time the security and condition of the wiring harness will be checked. Should any damage be found appropriate remedial action will be taken.
POSSIBILITY THAT WATER COULD SEEP INTO THE LOWER BALL JOINTS
Possibility that water could seep into the lower ball joints of the front suspension due to insufficient sealing
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the free play in the front suspension lower ball joints will be checked. If the play is found to be within tolerance and the dust cover is free from damage the cover will be cleaned and a sealer applied. If on inspection the dust cover is damaged or the joint is exhibiting free play outside the tolerance the lower arm will be replaced.
RISK OF FIRE
The Air Box Breather Hose routing may lead to it touching the Exhaust Pipe. This would then constitute a potential fire hazard and make the machine dangerous to ride
Recall affected machines and shorten Air Box Breather Hose.

Recall affected machines and shorten Air Box Breather Hose.
ENGINE MAY REVERT TO BACK UP MODE.BRAKE ASSISTANCE MAY REDUCE
The original ECU software could generate an excessive vibration of the injection butterfly. In very rare cases the butterfly upper stop may fail causing the engine to go to back up mode which may result in a drop of brake assistance efficiency
Recall affected vehicles and download new engine ECU software and initialisation of the ECU.
STEERING RACK MOUNTINGS MAY LOOSEN
Wax residue may not have been removed from the steering rack attachment points on the subframe which may result in a loosening of the steering rack.
Recall affected vehicles remove wax from the attachment area and re-tighten rack. At the same time the cooling fan control unit will be checked and if necessary replaced on affected vehicles.
HANDBRAKE CABLE MAY SNAP
Possibility that the handbrake cable may snap
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for the fitting of an up-rated and re-routed parking brake cable.
PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY
It is possible that the parking brake ratchet pawl may not engage correctly. In the worst case the vehicle could run away.
Replace the parking brake lever assembly.
POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINT
Water may enter the front suspension ball joints this can cause the ball joint to corrode and separate.
Replace any corroded ball joints and fit dirt/water shields to all vehicles.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COULD FOUL ON THE FLOOR
Possibility that the accelerator may foul on the floor mounted pedal stop
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and fit a modified throttle pedal stop.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE CONNECTING PLATE TO THE REAR AXLE FASTENS MAY BREAK
It is possible that the connecting plate to which the upper diagonal control arms of the rear axle location system may break. Should this occur loss of vehicle control may ensue.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and change the axle location connecting plate. Additionally operators will be advised of the correct use of the rear suspension system.
Possibility of failure of spare wheel carrier bracket
Possibility of the spare wheel carrier bracket failing resulting in detachment of the wheel and bracket from the trailer
Recall likely to be affected trailers and replace the existing bracket with a redesigned unit
POSSIBILITY THAT RUBBISH MIGHT ENTER THE AIR INTAKE AND REDUCE CAPACITY
The possibility exists that debris might enter the engine air intake thus reducing it's capacity
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and fit a protective mesh to the air intake.
