C8

Defect

The fuel filter's integrated heater may be defective and could cause the cover to distort. This could cause air ingress and fuel egress. Either could cause poor starting and a warning light should illuminate

Remedy

On affected vehicles replace fuel heater cover. Check and if necessary replace connector.

Defect

The steering column to steering wheel shaft may not have been assembled correctly. If not corrected noise and play will become apparent and if these warnings are not acted on eventually steering control could be lost.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary refit the steering column correctly to the steering wheel shaft.

Defect

Some tyres may have suffered superficial damage when the vehicle was being transported. The front Left hand tyre may have localised damage on the tread or the inner side. The tyre may rip and deflate.

Remedy

Carry out a visual check of the condition of the tyre in the affected areas and replace the tyre if necessary.

Defect

It is possible that the wiring harness for the power assisted steering motor may come in contact with other components in the engine bay. Should this occur then it is possible that the power steering assistance on this large vehicle may become affected.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and fit protection to the wiring harness.

Defect

It is possible that the fuel return pipe may chaff on the diesel fuel filter support in the engine compartment. This can if not identified result in a fuel leak.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles for the addition of a protective sleeve to the return pipe.

Defect

It has been identified that the position of the exterior lighting control ring may not be detected by the lighting management system and the lights may switch off without warning.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the lighting management software updated.

Defect

The threaded portion of the brake linkage rod in the brake control system may not be to conformity. This could result in a reduction of braking efficiency.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles to check rod and replace if found not to meet conformity.

Defect

The lighting management system may incorrectly detect the position of the exterior lighting control switch. This may cause the exterior light to switch off without warning.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and install a new version of the exterior lighting management software to the vehicle.

Defect

It has been identified that the diesel fuel return pipe which is fixed to the inlet manifold may be abraded to the extent that if left undetected will leak.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles as a preventative measure will have the pipe inspected for damage. If any is found the pipe will be replaced. In cases where the pipe remains undamaged it will be fitted with reinforcement.

Defect

It has been identified that the check valve within the brake assistance vacuum pump may suffer from a non-conformity which in time may reduce the braking assistance.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles as a preventative measure will have the subject valve replaced. At the same time certain vehicles will also have the air dosing unit replaced.

Defect

It has been identified that a brake hose may become worn as a result of rubbing contact against the heat shield protecting the exhaust system. This may lead in extreme cases to a leak from a brake circuit which manifests itself in increased brake pedal travel.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the exhaust heat shield adjusted in order to maintain the correct distance from the subject brake hose. Should the hose display signs of wear it will be replaced.

Defect

Braking assistance could be adversely affected by freezing of moisture that may accumulate in the vacuum circuit.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that may be affected and fit a separate air vent complete with filter to each electro valve fitted to the vacuum circuit.

Defect

The seat belt locking action may not be as fast as it is designed to be.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that may be affecte check the date of manufacture of the seat belts and where necessary replace the seat belts.

Defect

A potential fault within the engine management system could cause an internal engine fuel leak via one or more of the injectors following engine switch off. The engine would then not restart because of the excess fuel present in the inlet manifold or cylinders.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the engine management unit software updated.

Defect

There is a possibility of a brake pipe contacting the clip of the turbo-charger air inlet union. In extreme cases this could lead to a loss of brake fluid causing the brake warning lamp to come on.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary reposition the clip of the turbo-charger air inlet union. If the brake pipe shows traces of wear it will need to be replaced.

Defect

Due to draining of the condensation from the air conditioning system into the passenger compartment the air bag warning light may activate unintentionally. This in extreme cases may cause the air bag system to malfunction.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the sealing of the pipe which drains the condensation from the air conditioning system improved.

Defect

The fixings for the under engine protection tray could deteriorate which could lead in some cases to the tray falling whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the engine under protection tray fixings replaced.

Defect

There is a possibility of defective components in the heater blower which could cause a short circuit and a loss of ventilation of the passenger compartment and in an extreme condition could set fire to the wiring harness.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and replace heater blower module.

Defect

Water ingress into the airbag electronic control unit (ECU) could result in illumination of the warning light and in the worst case unintentional deployment of the airbag.

Remedy

Seal the airbag ECU compartment.

Defect

When the vehicle is moving an electrical signal could neutralise the sliding door safety lock and allow the door to open unintentionally.

Remedy

Fit a replacement electronic control unit to the door.
