    POSSIBLE LOSS OF TYRE PRESSURE FROM FRONT AND REAR TYRES

    Defect

    The tyre valve nut on the front and rear wheels can crack from a combination of stress and corrosion. Because the affected units are fitted tubeless tyres cracking of the nut can lead to a reduction of tyre pressure. This could adversely affect the handling and performance of the vehicle and may create a risk of an accident possibly resulting in personal injury.

    Remedy

    Fit replacement tyre valve nuts of increased size and improved material. Replace washer beneath the valve nut with one of improved material.

    Remedy

    Affected vehicles will be recalled for examination of the operation and integrity of the front seat tip lever and latching mechanism. In cases where the mechanism is found to bind a new seat frame assembly will be fitted.

    PARKING BRAKE RATCHET CONCERN

    Defect

    The design of the parking brake ratchet teeth can allow a partial engagement resulting in damage to the tooth which can then slip to the next tooth. If ignored the wear will continue on the next tooth and the efficiency of the parking brake may become insufficient to hold the vehicle in place.

    Remedy

    Replace parking brake lever assembly with one that has a revised tooth profile.
