1) POSSIBLE STATIC SPARKING DURING REFUELLING (ASTRA MODELS ONLY) 2) AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT DEPLOY
1) During refuelling the flow of fuel can cause static electricity to build up in the tank filler neck with the possibility of static sparking. 2) On some vehicles an electrical connector plug in the air bag system may not be correctly possible
A) The fitting of a metal earthing clamp to the lower end of the metal ring for the fuel filler cap to ensure a conductive connection between the filler neck and the vehicle body. B) Checking that in potentially affected vehicles the subject elect

POSSIBLE FIRE RISK
Under certain circumstances the fuel filter outlet pipe union may contact the heating element fitted to the fuel filter body. This will result in a short circuit with possible fire risk.
Recall the subject vehicles for the inclusion of a fuse link in the fuel filter heating element circuit and the fitment of a clip to ensure that the filter outlet pipe union is held clear of the element body.
FAILURE OF STEERING BOLTS
A batch of bolts used to secure the steering arms to the stub axles are below specification and could fail with loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the subject bolts with quality assured examples.
AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The rotary connector on the air bag system can fail and cause interruption to the air bag electrical supply. This may prevent the air bag deploying in the event of an accident.
Recall the affected vehicles for a modification to the air bag electrical system.
PREMATURE WEAR IN STEERING BOX
Premature wear in imported replacement steering boxes resulting in excessive free movement in steering system.
The small number of steering boxes fitted to vehicles as replacements has been retrieved and substituted by quality assured components. Additionally all stocks held by the importers and the dealer outlets have been withdrawn and returned to the
POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF HANDBRAKE CONTROL VALVE
The handbrake valve may not have been adequately lubricated on initial assembly. This could result in premature wear of the locking plunger with the risk of the handbrake being dislodged from the ON position.
The manufacturer has written to the operators of all potentially affected vehicles requesting them to examine the handbrake valve and apply a lubricant to the bridge piece. Should the bridge piece be found to be excessively worn the oper
TOWING CROSSMEMBER AND CAB MOUNTING BOLTS
On certain vehicles the bolts securing the towing crossmember and cab mountings may be defective.
Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of all the subject bolts. Those bolts identified as being defective will be replaced with modified examples.
TOWING CROSSMEMBER AND CAB MOUNTING BOLTS
On certain vehicles the bolts securing the towing crossmember and cab mountings may be defective.
Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of all the subject bolts. Those bolts identified as being defective will be replaced with modified examples.
CHAFING OF BRAKE PIPES
Certain fixed and flexible braking system air pipes may chafe on the heater pipes and the heater mounting bracket in the vicinity of the rear axle.
A service engineer from East Lancs Coachbuilders has visited the operator concerned and re-routed and re-bracketed the subject brake pipes to ensure adequate clearance between them and other components.
CHAFING OF FOG LAMP WIRING LOOM
The left hand fog light wiring loom may chafe in the area of the towing eye. This could cause a short circuit with possible risk of fire.
Recall the affected vehicles and check the condition of the loom adjacent to the towing eye. Where contact damage has occurred this will be repaired and in all cases the wiring loom will be protected by the addition of a foam rubber block
UNSCHEDULED BRAKE APPLICATION
Some braking system air pipes are routed in close proximity to the exhaust system tail pipe. In consequence heat radiation from the exhaust can cause pipe failure and unscheduled application of the spring brakes.
Recall the affected vehicles and modify the air pipe securing arrangement to provide additional clearance between the pipes and the exhaust system.
DURABILITY OF STEERING REVERSING LEVERS
It has been decided to reinforce the steering linkage reversing levers to enhance long term durability.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the original steering levers with reinforced examples.
MISSING WELDS ON SEAT FRAME
On some vehicles some welds may be missing from the back frames of the front seats.
Recall the affected vehicles for checking of the front seat frames. Where a fault is identified the seat frame will be replaced.
WHEEL NUT SPIGOT WASHERS MAY CRACK.
The integral washer on the wheel retaining nuts may crack at maximum torque. The subject nuts have all been supplied by one of two manufacturers.
All potentially affected vehicles will be recalled. Those identified as having the subject wheel nuts will have the nuts replaced with quality assured versions.
INSECURITY OF SUN VISOR
The external sun visor (which is an optional extra) is not sufficiently secured to its mounting bracket on the cab.
Recall all potentially affected vehicles (only a small number will have visors) for checking. All vehicles equipped with a visor will have additional screws fitted to the four mounting brackets.

CHAFING OF BRAKE PIPES
There may be inadequate clearance between one or both brake pipes at the master cylinder and a coolant pipe bracket on the cylinder head. Intermittent contact can consequently occur due to engine movement under high load. Should any of the brake
Recall the affected vehicles and inspect and re-route the subject brake pipes. Any brake pipes found to be damaged will be replaced.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF BRAKING SYSTEM AIR PRESSURE.
It is possible that some plastic pipe compression fittings used in the air braking system may not have been crimped correctly. Failure of any of these fittings could result in sudden and rapid air loss to the braking system with either partial loss
Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the subject pipe fittings. Any suspect fittings will be replaced using quality assured examples.

Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the subject pipe fittings. Any suspect fittings will be replaced using quality assured examples.
POSSIBILITY OF VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WHILST PARKED
Instances have occurred of Xantia vehicles moving away following an incomplete application of the parking brake by the driver.
Recall the vehicles to fit a modified parking brake lever which will prevent the driver from making only a partial application of the parking brake.
