BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CONCERN
The brake/stop lights may not function due to oil contamination of the switch.
Replace the brake light switch and remove all traces of oil from the switch pad.
ANTI LOCK BRAKE CONTROL UNIT CONCERN
There is a risk that an electrical fault in the anti lock brake control unit (ABS) can cause overheating of related electrical components. This may lead to fire damage and cause the service brake to revert to a non-anti lock mode of operation.
Recall affected vehicles to check the part number and supplier code of the ABS control unit. Renew the ABS control unit where found necessary.
ENGINE BAY FIRES
Following several fire related incidents the manufacturer has decided to implement a number of precautionary modifications.
1) Relocate exhaust heat shield and remove foam from beneath silencer. 2) Reloacate the retarder relay box. 3) Modify the retarder control system to prevent misuse and consequential overheating. 4) Review the routing of all electrical wiring in and adjacent to the engine bay. 5) Install an engine bay temperature warning device or an auxiliary cooling fan. 6) Fit twin alternators on request. 7) Modify the air pipe between the compressor and the air dryer.
THROTTLE MAY JAM OPEN
The tie rods of the throttle valves may come into contact with the air box and cause locking of the accelerator cable.
Fit a throttle recovery cable.
BRAKE PIPE MAY LEAK
An interference can occur between the steering column and the brake pipe which supplies fluid to the rear brakes which may lead to brake pipe leakage.
Recall affected vehicles and reposition brake pipe.
ANTI LOCK BRAKE CONTROL UNIT CONCERN
There is a risk that an electrical fault in the anti lock brake control unit (ABS) can cause overheating of related electrical components. This may lead to fire damage and cause the service brake to revert to a non-anti lock mode of operation.
Recall affected vehicles to check the part number and supplier code of the ABS control unit. Renew the ABS control unit where found necessary.
ALTERNATOR TERMINAL CONCERN
Alternator B+ terminal may break due to incorrect hardness leaving battery +cable loose.
Dealers are to check the Alternator B+ terminal type (visual check) and where necessary replace the alternator.
WINDSCREEN WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL
The windscreen wiper motor may cease to work because of an electrical software fault.
Replace the windscreen wiper motor of all affected vehicles.
REAR BRAKE AND HUB SECURITY CONCERN
It is possible for the bolts to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening. 1 or more of the 4 bolts could come loose causing an abnormal noise from the rear wheel axle area. In the event that all 4 bolts loosen completely separation of the rear brake and hub assembly from the rear axle carrier may occur which in the worst case could lead to a loss of vehicle control.
Recall affected vehicles and check the rear brake and hub securing bolts for correct tightness.
WIRING HARNESS
A section of the main harness located under the back of the fuel tank can be rubbed by the metal clamp securing the fuel pump leads. Abrasion of the main harness sheath and the wire insulation caused by the clamp can lead to a malfunction of the turn signals instrument illumination or warning.
The repair consists of checking and repairing the main harness if required changing the bending direction of the clamp to the opposite side to eliminate contact with the main harness and then fixing the fuel pump leads securely with a tie band.
BRAKE FLUID SPECIFICATION CONCERN
The hydraulic fluid in the front brake system may not be to the correct specification. This could result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the brake under conditions of hard use.
Recall affected motorcycles drain hydraulic fluid from front brakes refill with DOT4 specification fluid and bleed brakes.
AUXILIARY DRIVE BELT CONCERN
A fault in the alternator drive pulley may cause the auxiliary drive belt to break which would result in a loss of power assistance to the steering. A broken drive belt may also damage the cambelt and cause engine failure.
Fit a modified alternator drive pulley

Fit a modified alternator drive pulley
BRAKE VACUUM PUMP CONCERN
The brake vacuum pump may fail and cause a reduction in brake servo assistance. This will make the brake pedal heavy to operate.
Fit a modified brake vacuum pump.
POSSIBLE FRACTURE OF PROPELLOR SHAFT
The propellor shaft fitted to a specific number of vehicles may fracture at certain high rotation frequencies.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for the fitment of a quality assured replacement propellor shaft.

IGNITION KEY MAY FOUL STEERING COLUMN COWLING
There is a possibility that the steering column cowling may move out of alignment causing the ignition switch to foul on the steering cowling and possibly stick in the start position.
Recall affected vehicles and check and where necessary replace the steering column clamp. The cowling unit is replaced on all vehicles recalled.
IGNITION SWITCH FIRE RISK
Key operation in the steering lock ignition switch may become stiff or could seize. An ignition switch seized in the start position could result in a starter motor burn out.
Replace the complete steering lock assembly.
FRONT RIGHT HAND LOWER SUSPENSION ARM MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
The front right hand lower suspension arm may not be to specification. As a consequence it may deform under certain impact loads.
Check the identification markings on the suspension arm and replace where necessary.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
Under severe and extreme conditions where the vehicle is used mainly off-road in a wet muddy environment it is possible that the tapered section of the ball pin on the steering Pitman arm may break. This in the worst case could result in a loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the Pitman arm with a quality assured component.
