Remedy

Update the In-Vehicle-Infotainment software via Over-the-Air.

Defect

Vehicles may be affected by incorrect performance of the On-Board-Diagnostics related to Selective Catalytic Reduction system and/or Diesel Particle Filter. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may not illuminate in the event of a malfunction and therefore does not comply with emission regulations.

Remedy

Update the Engine Control Unit software to ensure compliance to regulations.

Defect

Affected vehicles may have incorrect or missing information on the tyre pressure label.

Remedy

Replace the tyre pressure label.

Defect

Vehicles may be affected by premature wearing of the camshaft drive chain leading to abnormal noise or to a breakage of the chain in the worst case.

Remedy

Update the software to improve oil pressure and reduce wear. Check the engine noise and replace the chain if required. If no problem found change the oil to one with higher viscosity and special anti-wear additives.

Defect

Affected vehicles may face an error in the Battery Monitoring Unit software.

Remedy

Update the Battery Monitoring Unit software.

Defect

Affected vehicles may face an error in the Battery Monitoring Unit software.

Remedy

Change the ATB.

Defect

On affected vehicles the AC compressor stator wiring could develop a fault leading to current loss inside the AC compressor that could result in a vehicle powertrain shutdown when driving.�

Remedy

Reprogram the Powertrain Diagnosis ECU with updated software.

Defect

The possibility that the lower metal engine protection guard could trap material between it and the underside of the engine exhaust system

Remedy

: Replace the metal under engine protection guard with a different design to prevent the collection of material.

Defect

The inner tie rods connecting the steering rack to the track rod end are not correct to specification

Remedy

Replace the steering rack inner tie rods (on both sides)

Defect

The urea injector may temporarily block

Remedy

Update the engine management software.

Defect

Remedy

Replacement of the steering column.

Defect

The passenger outer seat belts may not be correct to specification

Remedy

Replace the front outer passenger seat belt.

Defect

On the affected vehicles an internal component within the airbag triggering ECU may have been damaged which could lead to non deployment. There are no early warning signs or symptoms for the customer to indicate if the ECU is incorrect.

Remedy

The manufacturer has no simple method to check the internal component. Therefore all ECU's in affected vehicles to be changed as a precaution.

Defect

The bonnet may not close correctly over time because a possible non-conformity with the fixing of the bonnet catch. The driver may notice in certain cases difficulty in opening or closing the bonnet easily or vibrations or slight movement of the bonnet when driving. The risk is incorrect closing of the bonnet which could lead without any warning to unwanted opening when driving.

Remedy

Recall the the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the front bumper support. Where necessary the front bumper support will be replaced.

Defect

On affected vehicles the driver's air bag inflation device may not conform to specification. As a result may not deploy correctly during an impact.

Remedy

Replace the driver's air bag module on affected vehicles

Defect

The fixing bolts of the front LH and RH seat belt return rail may loosen and in cases of extreme force break.

Remedy

The bolts on the left and right- hand sides will be replaced.

Defect

The roof panel rear flap hinge may have a defect which will eventually allow the roof panel to detach.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either reinforce the retention of the hinges or changing the roof panel rear flap.

Defect

The passenger airbag wiring harness connector may not be to specification which can cause the illumination of the warning light on the dash or if involved in a impact the incorrect deployment of the airbag.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the passenger airbag wiring harness.

Defect

It has been identified that the possibility exists that the mounting ball on both tailgate support struts may rotate when the tailgate is opened or closed. Should one of the support struts dislocate the tailgate may not remain in the open position.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the mounting ball joints on the tailgate support struts replaced.

Defect

The heat shield protecting the spare wheel and carrier may detach because of the vibrations it is subjected to.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the heat shield or where necessary replace the spare wheel carrier which incorporates the heat shield.

Defect

The left hand rear seat may not be fully secure because the right hand seat fixing may have been welded incorrectly. If the weld is incorrect the seat may detach during an accident.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary repair the seat fixing.

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

In countries where salt is used extensively on the roads the paint sub layer on certain springs produced over a specific manufacturing period shows very little resistance to corrosion. This can in exceptional circumstances cause a front suspension spring to break with the attendant risk that the spring could contact the tyre.

Remedy

To prevent an occurrence of this type likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time a suspension cup will be fitted on each front side of the vehicle to prevent a failed spring from making contact with the tyre.

Defect

The airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is incorrect to specification this reduces the number of impact configurations taken into consideration when activating the airbags. So an airbag may not deploy in as many advantageous situations.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag ECU.

Defect

Internal tyre tread may have been damaged during fitting which could lead to a loss of pressure.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and replace all five tyres.

Defect

There is a possibility that the front stub axle on one or both sides of the vehicle may have been incorrectly machined. This could result in excessive wear the lower ball joint becoming displaced and the collapse of the suspension.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and check and if necessary replace both front stub axles.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles for the inspection and possible replacement of the brake servo valve.

Defect

The main underbonnet harness may become damaged through chafing on the scuttle panel. This could result in stalling and loss of electrical functions.

Remedy

Affected vehicles are being recalled for the fitment of a protective sleeve to the main wiring harness to prevent chaffing.
