Defect

On the affected vehicles the electrical harnesses connecting the heated seats may under certain conditions and over time cause the heated seats to either not work or to operate permanently. This may cause the battery to discharge and can be uncomfortable/distracting to the driver.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the two affected harnesses. If necessary the harnesses will be modified.

Defect

It is possible that the con-rod bearing shells will not conform to manufacturer specification. This could lead to premature deterioration of the shells and in time cause the engine to fail.

Remedy

To replace the con-rod bearing shells

Defect

The track rod end ball joints on the steering rack may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If this is not rectified it could result in steering failure.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and re-torque the track rod end to steering arm joint.

Defect

Incorrect dimensions of the battery earth cable may in the long term lead to its breakage. The loss of the electrical connection may lead to engine cutting out.

Remedy

The battery earth cable is to be replaced.

Defect

The battery earth return cable is not to the correct specification which during vehicle operation may cause it to fail. This could result in the engine cutting out.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicle and replace the battery earth return cable.

Defect

The battery earth return cable is not to the correct specification which during vehicle operation may cause it to fail. This could result in the engine cutting out.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the battery earth return cable.

Defect

The use of incorrect torque wrenches for tightening a terminal may have damaged internal components in the Engine Electrical Power Supply Management Unit (BSM). This could result in the engine cutting out.

Remedy

Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the engine BSM unit.

Defect

The earth cable for the battery maybe too short this may resulting in it breaking. Should this occur the vehicle electrical circuit will fail which will cause the engine to cut out.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the battery earth cable.

Defect

It is possible that the air conditioning unit air diffuser ducting on the driver's side may detach which could obstruct access to the driver control pedals.

Remedy

Recall all the affected vehicles for the fitment of an additional support part to the air conditioning unit outlet ducting.

Defect

The battery earth return cable maybe too short which during vehicle operation may cause it to fail at its gearbox mounting point. This could result in the engine cutting out.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicle and replace the battery earth return cable.

Defect

The rear brake hoses may contact the suspension coil springs. Should this contact occur it is possible over time and distance for the spring to abrade a hole in the hose and for the hose to leak fluid which will illuminate the brake warning lamp and could possibly lead to longer than expected stopping distances.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the positioning of the rear brake hoses and where necessary replace the brake hose/s.

Defect

There may be a fault in the machining of the crankshaft that could lead to a lubrication problem which overtime could lead to the engine seizing.

Remedy

The recalled vehicles will have the engine replaced.

Defect

It is possible that an engine coolant pipe can contact and chaff a brake pipe/line which can lead to damage and possible failure of the pipe.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles for the rerouting of the coolant pipe and if required the replacement of the brake pipe/line.

Defect

It has been identified that the main engine fuse box is not to the correct specification. This can result in operating faults or the failure of certain equipment.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the subject fuse box replaced.

Defect

It has been identified thatthere is a risk that subject vehicles will unnecessarily enter a reduced power mode which would result in severely reduced engine power output.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have a new version of software downloaded to the engine management computer.

Defect

The windscreen wiper wiring may be contacted by the wiper mechanism. If there is prolonged contact between the wiring and mechanism there is a risk of the wiper function failing.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary reposition the wiring.

Defect

It has been identified that the alternator terminal wiring could be positioned too close to the exhaust heat shield. Under extreme conditions this proximity could result in an electrical short circuit.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will checked and the subject terminal repositioned as necessary.

Defect

On the vehicles concerned the lower fixing for the left hand front seat belt may be of an incorrect specification. This may lead to the fixing becoming loose.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the fixing checked and corrected as necessary.
