Brake linkage rod may reduce braking efficiency
The brake linkage rod's threaded section may not meet specifications, reducing braking efficiency. The rod will be checked and replaced if it does not meet specifications.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE COMPROMISED
- Defect
- The threaded portion of the brake linkage rod in the brake control system may not be to conformity. This could result in a reduction of braking efficiency.
- Remedy
- Recall affected vehicles to check rod and replace if found not to meet conformity.
Water ingress may reduce rear braking
Water may enter the brake drums and cause premature lining wear, reducing braking effort at the rear wheels. A handbrake cable seal will be fitted and the brake linings replaced.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
- Defect
- It has been identified that water may ingress the brake drums causing premature brake lining wear. Should this occur the brake effort produced by the rear wheels may be reduced.
- Remedy
- Recalled vehicles will have a seal fitted to the handbrake cable and the subject brake linings replaced.
Fuel return pipe may wear through and leak
The fuel return pipe may rub against the engine shield and wear, potentially causing a fuel leak. A fastener will be fitted to prevent contact, and the pipe replaced if necessary.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- FUEL MAY LEAK
- Defect
- It has been identified that the possibility exists that contact between the fuel return pipe and the engine shield may take place inside the engine compartment. Should this occur wear on the pipe would ensue which in the worst case; would result in a fuel leak.
- Remedy
- Recalled vehicles will be fitted with an additional fastener to ensure that contact is not made and if necessary the fuel return pipe will be replaced.
Lights may switch off unexpectedly
Incorrect positioning of the lighting control ring by the lighting management system may cause the lights to switch off unexpectedly. Update the lighting management software.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- LIGHTS MAY SWITCH OFF UNEXPECTEDLY
- Defect
- It has been identified that due to incorrect positioning of the exterior lighting control ring by the lighting management system the lights may switch off unexpectedly.
- Remedy
- Recalled vehicles will have the lighting management software updated
Accelerator pedal may not return to idle
A fault in the accelerator pedal assembly may cause interference and prevent the pedal returning to its original position, leaving the vehicle accelerating. Firm braking can overcome this. The accelerator pedal will be replaced.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE WHEN RELEASED
- Defect
- It has been identified that on affected vehicles a non conformity within the accelerator pedal assembly may cause interference and prevent the pedal from returning to its original position. This may result in the vehicle maintaining a degree of acceleration which can be overcome by firm braking.
- Remedy
- Recalled vehicles will have the accelerator pedal changed.
Power steering assistance may be lost
Poor protection of the power steering pump earth terminal may cause loss of steering assistance. Protection for the terminal will be reinforced.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING
- Defect
- It has been identified that poor protection of the power steering pump earth terminal; could result in loss of power assistance to the steering.
- Remedy
- Recalled vehicles will have the power steering pump earth terminal protection reinforced.
Seat belt locking action may be too slow
The seat belt may not lock as quickly as designed. Seat belt manufacture dates will be checked and belts replaced where necessary.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- SEATBELT MAY NOT OPERATE AS DESIGNED
- Defect
- The seat belt locking action may not be as fast as it is designed to be.
- Remedy
- Recall the vehicles that may be affecte check the date of manufacture of the seat belts and where necessary replace the seat belts.
Bottom engine mounting tie bar weld may fail
An inadequate weld may allow the bottom engine mounting tie bar to fail, causing serious engine vibration and separation of a driveshaft. The tie bar will be replaced.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE BOTTOM ENGINE MOUNTING TIE BAR
- Defect
