Defect

In very rare circumstances the vacuum pump one way valve may not function correctly which could affect the level of braking assistance.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the brake vacuum pump one way valve.

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

In rare cases the lighting management system may incorrectly detect the lighting switch ring position which may cause the lights to cut out.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and download new version of vehicle exterior lighting software

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 that on the specified vehicles a fault may develop with the brake vacuum pump. This can result in hardening of the brake pedal with an attendant loss of braking efficiency.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the vacuum pump replaced.

Defect

It has been identified that the operation of the ABS/ESP braking unit may be affected by the ingress of water.

Remedy

Recall likely to be affected vehicles to reinforce the resistance of the ABS/ESP unit to water.

Defect

The quality of the welding at the suspension mounting reinforcement plates may not be to specification.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the welding. Where necessary take corrective action to ensure that the reinforcement plate welding operation has been correctly completed.

Defect

Due to a potential fault in the engine management system an internal engine fuel leak via the injectors may occur following switching off. This would result in the engine failing to restart due to excess fuel being present in the inlet manifold or cylinders.

Remedy

To address the issue recalled vehicles will receive an engine management download.

Defect

The incorrect fixing of the left hand curtain airbag can lead to incorrect deployment in the case of a left hand side impact or frontal impact with a high degree of angular bias to the left.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and re-fix the airbag correctly.

Defect

It is necessary to check the fitting of the pedal box transfer bar levers on (RHD only). In rare cases where the return bar lever is faulty the braking efficiency could be affected.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the transfer bar checked and replaced if found to be faulty.

Defect

It is necessary to check and reinforce the sealing of the electrical connections for the ABS system. As under certain conditions the repeated entry of salt water into this connection could cause short circuits which may lead to a fire within the engine compartment

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have numerous checks carried out and repairs completed dependent upon what is found.

Defect

It is necessary to reinforce the sealing of electrical connections for the steering system electro pump assembly. As under certain conditions the repeated entry of salt water into this connection could cause short circuits which may lead to a fire within the engine compartment.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have numerous checks carried out and repairs completed dependent upon what is found.

Defect

There is a risk of a manufacturing non conformity on the fuel injection diesel return pipe. This may lead to the possibility of fuel seepage.

Remedy

As a preventive measure likely to be affected vehicles will have the pipe replaced additionally the pipe will be fitted with protective sleeves.

Defect

There is a risk that the lower swivel joint on the front suspension has not been sufficiently tightened.

Remedy

Check the mounting and tightness of the joint if found out of specification replace the joint.

Defect

The original engine software may cause erratic operation of the motorised throttle body. This could in rare extreme cases cause the throttle stop to break. This will cause the engine to revert to limp home mode which possible may cause a reduction in braking assistance.

Remedy

Install updated software in the engine ECU.

Defect

It is a possibility that vehicles may not be correctly fitted with a rear seat anchorage point strengthener. If the strengthener is not fitted the vehicle will not comply with the defined retention criteria in the case of an accident.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will be inspected for the presence of the seat anchorage strengthener. In cases where it is not in place the vehicle will be returned to specification.

Defect

The possibility exists that the weld points on the chassis rear side members may not have been made correctly. With the result that in the case of an impact the vehicle would not comply with the energy absorption criteria.

Remedy

Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for checking of the subject welds. If it is found that the welds are not to specification Product Service should be contacted.

Defect

There is a possibility that the EGR support bracket may break and cause a short circuit which may stop the engine.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and replace EGR bracket.

Defect

Due to an incident during the vehicle manufacturing process there may be cuts in the side wall or tread of one or both of the tyres on the right hand side of the vehicle.

Remedy

Examine the tyres fitted to the vehicle and replace any that are found to be cut.

Defect

The automatic gearbox control wiring loom may become pinched. This may make it possible to start the engine whilst the car is in gear.

Remedy

Check whether the wiring loom is being pinched. Repair and reposition the loom where found necessary.

Defect

The front left hand anti-roll bar linkage may contact and chafe the brake pipe when turning the wheels to full left lock.

Remedy

Inspect and where necessary reposition the left front brake pipe.

Defect

It is possible that the brake fluid is not to the correct specification. this over a period of time could adversely affect the brake performance.

Remedy

Replace the hydraulic fluid in the brake and clutch operating circuits.

Defect

The front shock absorber lower yoke might not be to the correct specification. As a consequence the yoke may fracture and cause a deterioration in the vehicles road holding.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and examine the front shock absorber lower support for cracks. Fit new shock absorbers where necessary.

Defect

Key operation in the steering lock ignition switch may become stiff or could seize. An ignition switch seized in the start position could result in a starter motor burn out.

Remedy

Replace the complete steering lock assembly.
