FUEL TANK MAY LEAK
Due to improper filter installation in the fuel pump unit rubber cover the stainless steel filter material may interfere with the aluminium steel fuel tank body through inlet holes in the rubber cover. In turn natural moisture contamination within the fuel tank body may cause galvanic corrosion. In time this corrosion may progress to the point where the tank may become perforated and cause fuel leakage.
Recall affected machines and fit rubber cover to fuel pump to prevent interference between fuel tank body and filter material. Additionally any fuel tank with evidence of corrosion will be replaced.
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF BALL BEARING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION STRUT TOP MOUNTING
It is possible that the ball bearing in the front suspension strut top mounting may not have been securely fitted. If the weight of the car is taken off of the road wheel for any reason the bearing may became displaced with a risk of personal injury or damage to the suspension.
Replace both front suspension strut mounts.

BRAKE VACUUM ELECTROVALVES CONCERN.
Water ingress into the underbonnet vacuum electrovalves may cause a reduction in power assistance at the brake pedal. Malfunction of the electrovalves could also adversely affect the engine exhaust emissions.
Replace the three electrovalves as a precaution and install a protective shield over them.

Replace the three electrovalves as a precaution and install a protective shield over them.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO BRAKE PIPES.
The service replacement engine may have been fitted with with the rear lifting eye still attached. Under certain operating conditions the eye may contact and damage adjacent brake pipes. This could cause a loss of braking efficiency.
Check for the presence of the rear lifting eye and remove if fitted. Check brake pipes for damage and if required replace.
TRAILER MAY BECOME DETACHED.
An incorrect version of the front and rear crossmembers may allow the coupling to detach.
Recall affected vehicles - check the manufacturer and model of 5th wheel ( as this applies to VBG type 65sf sliders) and if crossmembers are of flat construction replace with modified type.
ENGINE HESITATION AND IDLING CONCERN
Vehicles fitted with 1.4 16v engines and having the MGI motorised throttle housing and Sirius 34 injection computer may have engine hesitation and idling speed instability. This due to incorrect locking of the connector to the throttle housing causing instability in the operation of the injection system.
Rectified by replacing the motorised throttle housing connector.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKE POWER ASSISTANCE
Non air conditioned Megane and Scenics equipped with K4J or K4M engines with a pre-catalytic convertor fitted may have a hard brake pedal (lack of braking assistance). This is caused by the deterioration of the braking assistance pipe as it passes too close to the source of heat emitted by the pre-catalytic convertor.
Recall affected vehicles and replace and/or reroute the brake assistance (vacuum) pipe.

RISK OF FIRE
A fault within the ventilation fan relay may cause a ciruit board overload with the remote risk of overheating.
Recall affected vehicles for modifications to the circuit board and wiring.
ENGINE COOLING FAN MAY FAIL.
Manufacturing faults and software errors in the electronics of the electric fan could cause these components to be thermally overloaded and destroyed. In isolated cases the overloading could lead to scorching or a fire in the fan.
Recall affected vehicles and check the fan type and build. Replace the fan where necessary.
ENGINE BAY FIRE CONCERN
Engine alternator may overheat and catch fire.
Replace the single Neihoff alternator with twin Bosch alternators.
ENGINE MAY STALL
A concern has been identified affecting 1.5 1.6 and 1.8 petrol engine crankshaft and camshaft position sensors (a common part). An internal failure of the component may cause the engine to stall and not restart.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a quality assured replacement crankshaft and camshaft position sensor.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER ASSISTANCE TO BRAKES
There is a possibility that the accumulator diaphragm in the Hydraulic Brake Booster (HBB) might be manufactured improperly. This may cause the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator to drop. The following two symptoms may result :- 1) The brake assist might be delayed in sudden hard braking. 2) Relatively large brake pedal loads might be required after long-term parking and first engine start since specific brake pressure takes time to accumulate.
The Hydraulic Brake Booster nitrogen accumulator will be replaced with a modified one on all affected vehicles.
ENGINE MAY STALL
A concern has been identified affecting 1.5 1.6 and 1.8 petrol engine crankshaft and camshaft position sensors (a common part). An internal failure of the component may cause the engine to stall and not restart.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a quality assured replacement crankshaft and camshaft position sensor.
POOR CABLE TERMINAL CRIMPS
The cable terminal crimps in the rear plate terminal block and battery box fuse block may be inadequate. The nut securing the ring cable terminal (terminal block) may also be insufficiently tight.
Check the crimps by pulling the specified cables. Repair where necessary by undoing and re crimping or soldering. Tighten ring cable terminal securing nut where necessary.

ACCELERATOR CONTROL CONCERN.
The electronic throttle pedal return springs may fail resulting in the engine speed not returning to idle when the pedal is released.
Fit a new design electronic throttle pedal incorporating revised design return springs.
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CONCERN
A defect in the ABS (Antilock Brake) ring on the front wheel bearings may cause a malfunction of the Antilock Brake System.
Recall affected vehicles and fit new front wheel bearings.
EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR LOCK OPERATING BAR CONCERN
Emergency exit door lock operating bar could become distorted and inoperative in exceptional circumstances such as in a collision or as a result of vandalism.
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional support bracket to the lock operating bar.
EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR LOCK OPERATING BAR CONCERN
Emergency exit door lock operating bar could become distorted and inoperative in exceptional circumstances such as in a collision or as a result of vandalism.
Recall affected vehicles and fit an additional support bracket to the lock operating bar.
DOOR SECURITY CONCERN
Customers may find that they are unable to secure the front and side doors of their vehicles due to wear of the locking bolt due to omission of heat treatment.
Rectified by replacing both the front and side door locks.
