LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY NOT OPERATE.
Dipped beam headlights may malfunction either when switched on or during driving.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the headlight switch with a modified part. Additionally the terminal for dipped beam operation within the wiring harness will also be changed in order to rectify any heat damage that may have occurred.

POSSIBILITY THAT THE STARTER MOTOR POWER SUPPLY CABLE MAY BECOME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE OIL COOLER RETURN PIPE
Under certain assembly conditions the electrical power supply cable to the Starter Motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe. In time an electrical short may occur.
Recall affected machines and reposition Starter Motor supply cable.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE STARTER MOTOR POWER SUPPLY CABLE MAY BECOME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE OIL COOLER RETURN PIPE
Under certain assembly conditions the electrical power supply cable to the Starter Motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe. In time an electrical short may occur.
Recall affected machines and reposition Starter Motor supply cable.
POSSIBILITY OF THE PLUG DOOR OPENING WHEN TRAVELLING ABOVE 5 KPH
Concern that the plug door may open at speeds in excess of 5 kph by use of the dashboard control.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the control unit will be tested and modified as necessary.
THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS MAY FOUL THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD
The engine wiring harness may foul the exhaust manifold
Affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the routing of the engine wiring harness will be modified to prevent fouling on the exhaust manifold.
SEAT BACKS DO NOT MEET THE RIGIDITY OF PORCHE SPECIFICATION
Front seats are fitted with seat backs that do not meet the rigidity Porsche AG demands.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the front seats with those which meet all the appropriate requirements.
WELD POINTS ON REAR SIDE CHASSIS MEMBERS MAY HAVE NOT BEEN MADE CORRECTLY
The possibility exists that the weld points on the chassis rear side members may not have been made correctly. With the result that in the case of an impact the vehicle would not comply with the energy absorption criteria.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for checking of the subject welds. If it is found that the welds are not to specification Product Service should be contacted.
POSSIBLE CONTACT BETWEEN THE LEFT HAND REAR SPLASH SHIELD AND THE BRAKE HOSE.
Contact at full suspension travel may occur between the left hand rear splash shield and the brake hose. This may result in wearing of the hose after a period of time.
Likely to be affected vehicles will have the splash shield modified and the brake hose re-routed.
POSSIBILITY OF ERRATIC OPERATION OF THE MOTORIZED THROTTLE BODY
The software may cause erratic operation of the motorized throttle which may result in breakage of the throttle stop. This can result in the engine reverting to limp home mode with a possible reduction in braking assistance.
Subject vehicles will be recalled and the condition eradicated by carrying out an ECU download.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE AND DEFLATION OF TYRE DUE TO ROAD SPRING
There is a possibility that the if a front road spring failed at the lower end it could contact and damage the tyre
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional lower road spring retention fixture which will protect the tyre in the event of a spring failure
TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BOLTS MAY BREAK.
There is a possibility that the transmission mounting bolts could break.
Recall affected vehicles check correct torque and if found incorrectinspect bolts and mountings for damage and replace if necessary.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE AXLE MAY BECOME LOOSE IF THE U BOLT BREAK
A reduction in torque for the front axle U bolts and high material hardness of the rear axle U bolts may result in U bolt breakage and axle insecurity
Replace the front and rear axle U bolts and tighten to the appropriate torque.
POSSIBILITY THAT OIL COOLER FITTTED ON SOME MODELS MAY FAIL
Possibility that the oil cooler may fail resulting in an oil leak which may contaminate the rear tyre resulting in loss of control.
Recall likely to be affected machines and replace oil coolers manufactured by KTM.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT LATCH
It is possible that the driver and/or front seat passenger seat belt buckle cannot be latched or will not remain latched.
Fit new seat belts where necessary.
POSSIBILITY THAT OIL COOLER FITTTED ON SOME MODELS MAY FAIL
Possibility that the oil cooler may fail resulting in an oil leak which may contaminate the rear tyre resulting in loss of control.
Recall likely to be affected machines and replace oil coolers manufactured by KTM.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE REAR SPOILER MAY DETACH
The spoiler mounting on the rear tailgate may in certain cases have some weak points and cause some noise.This may even lead to the loss of the spoiler
Recall affected vehicles and replace the 4 spoiler fixing bolts and fit two safety straps
POSSIBLE CRACKING OF DYNAMIC DAMPER HEAT INSULATOR
The dynamic damper heat insulator which is installed on the manual transmission may crack causing abnormal noise. In the worst case the insulator may become detached.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the insulator with a modified one.
POSSIBILITY OF INABILITY TO ENGAGE GEAR OR DECLUTCH
Possibility that the pin operating the master cylinder may have been welded incorrectly. Resulting in the inability (on failure) to de-clutch or engage a gear.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles inspect the subject weld and replace the clutch pedal if the weld is found to be faulty.
STEERING - WEAR OF THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SPLINE
It is possible on certain Avensis models fitted with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering (EMPS) that the intermediate steering shaft was incorrectly assembled this can result in premature wear of the shaft splines. This is identified by the abnormal noise produced however if the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition it may become difficult or in the worst case impossible to steer.
Inspect and if necessary replace the intermediate steering shaft.
POSSIBILITY THAT ANTIROLL BAR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH MATIERIAL REQUIREMENTS
The Antiroll Bar may not comply with material requirements
Recall affected vehicles and on those with manufacturing dates of 03-21/03 - 25/03-35 replace bar.
POSSIBILITY OF LEAKAGE FROM FUEL TANK DUE TO CORROSION
Possibility of fuel leakage from the fuel tank due to corrosion
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the fuel tank will be inspected for corrosion. Should corrosion be found the fuel tank will be replaced.
