VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE.
The rear axle can become overloaded and the vehicle may become unstable when driven with a full load. (Too many passenger seats on the off side of the vehicle).
Remove two passenger seats and reposition others to balance load.
UNEVEN LOADING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF TRACTION ON DRIVE AXLE
Loss of Traction on the front drive axle when vehicle fully loaded
Recall affected vehicles and adjust rear axle loading
REAR POD MOUNTING PIN BECAME DETACHED
The rear pod mounting pin became detached from the underside of the pod floor in a collision. This caused the pod to break away from the vehicle chassis.
Fit an additional cross member to the pod floor.
ENGINE SUPPORT YOKE WELD MAY FAIL.
There is a possibility that the lower engine mounting point is weak. This may lead to significant engine vibration which in turn could result in the right hand drive shaft coming adrift.
Examine and replace the engine support yoke where found necessary.
REAR BRAKE HOSE MAY FRACTURE
The rear brake flexible hose may fracture internally leading to a loss of hydraulic fluid and rear brake operation without prior warning.
Fit a new brake hose.
BRAKE SERVO VACUUM PIPE MAY CRACK AND LEAK
The brake servo vacuum supply pipe may crack and leak. This could result in a loss of power assistance and require the driver to apply a lot more force to the brake pedal.
Examine the condition of the vacuum supply pipe and fit an improved quality replacement where necessary.
BRAKE SERVO VACUUM PIPE MAY CRACK AND LEAK
The brake servo vacuum supply pipe may crack and leak. This could result in a loss of power assistance and require the driver to apply a lot more force to the brake pedal.
Examine the condition of the vacuum supply pipe and fit an improved quality replacement where necessary.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE BOTTOM ENGINE MOUNTING TIE BAR
An inadequate weld on the bottom engine mounting tie bar may fail and cause a serious engine vibration and separation of one of the driveshafts.
Fit a replacement bottom engine mounting tie bar.
POSSIBLE FIRE RISK IN HEATER BLOWER WIRING HARNESS
Inadequate protection of the heater blower wiring harness may result in chafing damage leading to a short circuit and risk of fire.
Check for correct routing of the blower wiring harness and fit a protective sleeve.
REAR BRAKE HOSE MAY CHAFE
Under certain circumstances the rear brake flexible hoses may chafe on the axle beam.
Fit modified brake hoses change the routing and fit securing clips.
PETROL PIPE MAY PERISH AND LEAK.
The fuel pipe may perish and allow petrol to leak onto the engine. This could result in a fire.
Fit a replacement fuel pipe where found necessary.
THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH SECURELY
The front seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This could result in a buckle separating in a collision.
Fit new front seat belts with improved buckles.
POSSIBLE WHEEL COLLAPSE DUE TO LOOSE/BROKEN SPOKES
The spokes in the rear wheel may work loose and consequently the wheel may fail without warning and cause an accident.
Examine the potentially affected motorcycles and fit an upgraded rear wheel where found necessary.
THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH SECURELY
The front seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This could result in a buckle separating in a collision.
Fit new front seat belts with improved buckles.
THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH SECURELY
The front seat belt buckles may not latch correctly. This could result in a buckle separating in a collision.
Fit new front seat belts with improved buckles.
WATER INGRESS INTO THE AIRBAG ECU
Water ingress into the airbag electronic control unit (ECU) could result in illumination of the warning light and in the worst case unintentional deployment of the airbag.
Seal the airbag ECU compartment.
ELECTRICAL SIGNAL COULD NEUTRALISE THE SLIDING DOOR SAFETY LOCK.
When the vehicle is moving an electrical signal could neutralise the sliding door safety lock and allow the door to open unintentionally.
Fit a replacement electronic control unit to the door.
POTENTIAL LACK OF HANDBRAKE EFFICIENCY
It is possible that the handbrake may not be fully effective when the vehicle is parked.
Reprogramme the parking brake computer software.
FRONT BRAKE HOSE MAY CHAFE ON THE TYRE.
The front brake flexible hose may rub on the tyre and subsequently leak. This could result in the sudden loss of front brake efficiency.
Examine the potentially affected motorcycles and fit a new front brake hose where found necessary.
REAR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT RETRACT
The rear seat belt may suffer poor retraction due to a broken webbing spool. A loose seat belt may not provide sufficient restraint to avoid injury in an impact.
Examine all seat belts including the front ones and replace any that have damaged spools. Fit a guide clip to the seat belts where the spool is undamaged.
SEAT RUNNER LOCKS MAY NOT ENGAGE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
The seat runners may not be correctly aligned and as a consequence the locks cannot engage simultaneously with both runners. This could result in unwanted movement of the seat when driving.
Replace the seat runners.
FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT MAY FAIL
The steering/suspension front lower swivel ball joint may fail and make the vehicle unstable.
Replace the right and left front lower ball joints with improved specification units.
POSSIBLE FRACTURE OF REAR AXLE U BOLTS
The material hardness of the rear axle spring U bolts may be too high. As a consequence they could break and allow dislocation of the axle.
Check the tioghtness of the rear axle spring U bolts. If any U bolt breaks before the the specified torque is achieved all U bolts on the affected axle must be replaced.
