3. POSSIBLE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE

   R/2013/110 · 21 Oct 2013

   21 Oct 2013

   Defect

   Only on the rear axle of vehicles fitted with carbon ceramic brakes the stainless steel screws fixing the rotor to the metal bell may fail due to stress corrosion cracking if the vehicle has been used in extreme salt environments. The customer will experience a noise when a screw fails and the brake continues to be 100% effective. However if the affected disc was to lose 8 of the 10 screws there would be a loss of braking at that rear wheel. This may lead to a small increase in stopping distance and could lead to a crash.

   Remedy

   Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the affected stainless steel screws with a screw of a different material that is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.

   R/2009/002 · 15 Jan 2009

   15 Jan 2009

   Defect

   It has been identified that the potential exists for the centre rear seatbelt upper guide bracket to distort in the event of a frontal impact. This could result in the centre sear seat occupant travelling further forward than the design intent.

   Remedy

   Recalled vehicles will have the subject guide bracket replaced with one which incorporates a revised design.

5. FUEL MAY LEAK

   R/2008/080 · 14 May 2008

   14 May 2008

   Defect

   There is potential for road salt to corrode the outer surface of the fuel filter. In an extreme case this may lead to the filter housing becoming porous with a corresponding fuel leak which has the potential for combustion.

   Remedy

   Recall the affected vehicles to have the fuel filter replaced by the later designed corrosion-resistant coated filter and move the retaining clip.
