    31 May 2017

    Defect

    One or more of the mounting points between the runner and the driver�s seat may fail.

    Remedy

    On affected vehicles inspect the driver�s seat frame to determine if seat lifter links are damaged. If no damage is evident fit reinforcement brackets and �push nuts�.

  2. AIRBAG MAY MALFUNCTION

    R/2017/048 · 22 Feb 2017

    22 Feb 2017

    Defect

    It has been identified that the density of the propellant within the airbag inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this condition the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of the airbag deployment allowing the inner pressure of the inflator to increase abnormally resulting in the breakage of the inflator case. In this condition the airbags will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact as the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the driver and/or front seat passenger.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver and passenger front airbag inflators with modified units.

  3. DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY

    R/2016/084 · 29 Apr 2016

    29 Apr 2016

    Defect

    Continued exposure to high levels of absolute humidity may cause the driver�s front airbag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver�s front airbag. Should the inflator rupture it could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other vehicle occupants.

    Remedy

    On affected vehicles replace air bag inflator

  5. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY

    R/2013/047 · 24 Apr 2013

    24 Apr 2013

    Defect

    The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

  14. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK

    R/2004/111 · 11 Sep 2004

    11 Sep 2004

    Defect

    It has been found that the clearance between the fuel tank insulator and the exhaust pipe is insufficient. During driving this may give rise to an increase in temperature around the fuel tank which may suffer reduced rigidity. At the same time the inner pressure of the fuel tank may increase causing the fuel tank and exhaust insulator to make contact. Should the surface temperature of the fuel tank exceed it's maximum permissible range partial melting may occur which could result in a fuel leak.

    Remedy

    Recall affected vehicles and fit an insulator kit between the exhaust and the fuel tank.

    R/2003/099 · 12 Dec 2003

    12 Dec 2003

    Defect

    Repeated thermal expansion and shrinkage in use may cause the front fog light socket holder to become detached from the fog light case. As a consequence an exposed hot bulb may come into contact with part of the vehicle body or fittings.

    Remedy

    Attach a spring to the rear of the fog light to prevent the socket holder detaching from the fog light case.

    R/2003/098 · 8 Aug 2003

    8 Aug 2003

    Defect

    The brake fluid reservoir may expand temporarily during pressure bleeding of the system. This may cause the float of the fluid level sensor to seize or be displaced - resulting in non-operation of the warning light.

    Remedy

    Check position and operation of the float and adjust where necessary. Additionally attach a caution label to the reservoir concerning the brake fluid bleeding pressure.

    Defect

    A surging noise from the air conditioner clutch may be interpreted as a fuel pressure leak by the engine management sensors. This will activate the fail safe system and shut the engine down.

    Remedy

    Install a short cord (with condensor) in the air-conditioner magnetic clutch wiring harness.
