    Component
    BOLTS OF THE TANDEM FUEL PUMP COVER MAY BREAK
    Defect

    Recalled vehicles will have the pump checked for being of a certain manufacture. If found to be within the affected range the pump housing cover bolts will be replaced.

  3. Brake servo vacuum pipe may crack and leak

    Reported February 2, 2005DVSA recall R/2004/202107,544 vehicles affected

    A manufacturing fault may cause cracks and leaks in the brake servo vacuum pipe, reducing servo assistance and increasing the force needed on the brake pedal. The braking system will not fail completely. Pipes will be checked and replaced if necessary.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    TENSION CRACKS MAY OCCUR ON THE VACUUM PIPE TO THE SERVO
    Defect
    Tension cracks may occur on the vacuum pipe to the brake servo in the area of the connections due to a manufacturing fault. Should a vacuum pipe leak the brake servo will loose it's function. This will result in an increase of force which must be applied to the brake pedal. But will not result in a total failure of the braking system.
    Remedy
    Recalled vehicles will have the vacuum pipes checked and if necessary replaced.
