BATTERY TO STARTER CABLE MAY FOUL ON EXHAUST SYSTEM.
It is possible for the electrical cable between the battery and the starter motor to foul on the exhaust system.
Fasten the cable to the vehicle chassis with a dedicated bracket.
POSSIBLE DISCONNECTION OF THE SPRING PARKING BRAKE AIR PIPE.
The air pipe connection between the spring brake cylinder on the rear axle and the chassis may not have been fully tightened. This may cause the brakes to drag and overheat or lock on whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Check the security of the parking brake air pipe connections and tighten where necessary
POSSIBLE FLUID LEAK FROM POWER STEERING
The threaded unions on the pressure lines for the power steering gear may not have been sufficiently tightened and could leak oil. Leaking oil could cause the power steering system to fail and in extreme cases escaping oil could ignite on hot engine components.
Check union bolts for signs of leakage. If leaks are found at either of the unions the steering gear will be replaced. If no leaks are found the union bolts will be checked for correct torque.
INCORRECT VALVE SPRINGS FITTED TO ENGINE
Incorrect specification inner valve springs have been fitted to the engine inlet and exhaust valves. Failure of the engine could result.
Fit replacement inner valve springs.
SEAT BELT TENSIONERS
It is possible that the reinforcement ring in the front seat belt tensioner has not been securely crimped onto the belt tensioner's steel cable. This connection could give in the event of a severe collision and could work loose in extreme cases.
Check the production date on both front seat belt tensioners and replace if they fall within the affected production period.
PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG CONCERN
The front passenger airbag inflator module check valve pin is missing in the affected vehicle. In the event of airbag activation the partition which separates the inflator and the bag may not be properly broken resulting in insufficient pressure to properly deploy the airbag. This could result in injury to the front seat passenger in the event of a frontal impact.
Replace the inflator module.
POSSIBLE LOOSENING OF DAMPER FIXING BOLT.
The bolt that attaches the damper to the upper suspension arm may loosen and in extreme cases fracture.
Check the torque of the front and rear suspension damper attachment bolts and tighten or replace as appropriate.
RUBBING PLATE MAY SPLIT AROUND KING PIN MOUNTING.
The coupling rubbing plate may split around the king pin and cross member mountings.
Insert a stiffening cross member in front of the king pin.
ENGINE STALLS WHILST DRIVING
A surging noise from the air conditioner clutch may be interpreted as a fuel pressure leak by the engine management sensors. This will activate the fail safe system and shut the engine down.
Install a short cord (with condensor) in the air-conditioner magnetic clutch wiring harness.
FAILURE OF REAR NUMBER PLATE BRACKET.
The rear number plate bracket may fracture.
A reinforcement bracket will be installed on all potentially affected machines. Where cracks are found in the original equipment number plate bracket a new bracket will also be fitted.
INTERIOR FAN WIRING MAY CHAFE ON DASHBOARD SUPPORT
The interior fan wiring may chafe on a dashboard support. This could result in a short circuit and a fire in the fan unit.
Fit additional insulation and protection to the fan electrical wiring.
POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE MAY CHAFE ON ENGINE INLET MANIFOLD.
The power steering pressure hose may chafe on the engine inlet manifold. This could ultimately result in an oil leak and a loss of power assistance to the steering.
Fit latest production level revised routing power steering pressure hose.
FRONT BRAKE HOSE COULD RUB ON TYRE
The securing grommet for the front brake hose onto the suspension strut may become detached. In this situation it is possible that the hose could rub against the inside of the front tyre causing consequential damage to the hose. In extreme cases brake fluid could leak causing loss of braking action on the front axle.
The repair will involve fitting a securing clip to the hose and grommet and checking the hose for damage.
BRAKE SERVO MAY FAIL
Brake servo may fail resulting in a hard brake pedal due to the loss of power assistance.
Replace the brake servo unit.
FAULTY SOFTWARE INSTALLED IN ENGINE ECU
Engine speed maybe reduced to idle without warning due to faulty software in the ECU.
Re programme the ECU with new software.
FAULTY SOFTWARE INSTALLED IN ENGINE ECU
Engine speed maybe reduced to idle without warning due to faulty software in the ECU.
Re programme the ECU with new software.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE
The engine fuel injectors may suffer a quality problem concerning the connection to the supply pipe. This may cause cracking of the connection and a consequential fuel leak.
Check and/or change the injectors.
ALTERNATOR CABLE TERMINALS MAY BE LOOSE.
The alternator cable terminals may not have been tightened on the rear plate.
Check security of terminal fasteners and tighten them to the specified torque where found necessary.
POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE
The engine fuel injectors may suffer a quality problem concerning the connection to the supply pipe. This may cause cracking of the connection and a consequential fuel leak.
Check and/or change the injectors.
INSUFFICIENT TORQUE ON FASTENERS FOR AUXILIARY STEERING ARMS
The tightening torque of the threaded fasteners securing the auxiliary steering arms to the frame may be too low.
Check and tighten the fasteners to the specified torque where found necessary.
POSSIBILE AIR LOSS FROM BRAKE SYSTEM
There is the possibility of an air loss from the footbrake system due to corrosion in the pressure regulator APU valve (air dryer with four circuit safety valve].
To prevent corrosion in the pressure regulator APU a new rubber diaphragm will be fitted.

WATER INGRESS MAY CAUSE ANTI LOCK BRAKE CONTROL UNIT TO MALFUNCTION
Water ingress to the ABS ECU connector may cause a malfunction of the anti lock braking system. In the worst case water contamination could cause a short circuit and fire in the ABS control unit.
Protect the ABS connector from water ingress. Replace the ABS ECU if found necessary.
