Defect

The engine electronic cooling management control strategy and the maximum temperature alert threshold could cause the engine to overheat. This could result in a warning light and a message being displayed on the instrument panel.

Remedy

On affected vehicles download a new engine management software in order to modify the cooling management parameters to improve the control of the engine operating temperature.

Defect

An engine component may not be to specification which could result in loss of engine performance. This may lead to the engine stalling and potentially causing an engine failure. In very unlikely circumstances the vehicle speed may increase without warning but will stop on its own after a few seconds.

Remedy

On affected vehicles carry out a functional diagnostic check of the engine. If necessary replace the engine.

Defect

The positioning of the starter motor supply terminal may not conform to specification. Contact with a neighbouring component could cause a short circuit.

Defect

It is possible that some suspension and brake components were not tightened correctly when building the car. It is possible for the components to become insecure and develop increase in noise from the suspension and increase of free play in steering. If not corrected the directional control and brakes could be affected.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and tighten the affected components to the required specifiaction: rear suspension fixings on the body brake calipers on their supports front subframe fixings on the body front hub carrier fixings on the subframe and on the shock absorbers brake hoses on the calipers and fixings of the underbody deflectors.

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

On a very limited number of vehicles it is necessary to check the presence of specific spot welds on the vehicle body shell. Should it be identified that one of the welds has been missed in production the vehicle cannot be repaired. In the long term and in very rare cases body noises and squeaking could appear.

Remedy

In the rare case that the vehicle does not comply the vehicle will be removed from the road and the customer will be provided with a replacement vehicle.
