    Defect
    The vehicles are equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control unit (canister) assembled to the fuel tank. There is a possibility that a crack could develop on the resin channel for the emission gas flow due to an improper shape of the channel edge at that location. The crack could expand over time and eventually fuel may leak from the crack when the vehicle has a full tank. Fuel or fuel vapour in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a vehicle fire
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    LOSS OF POWER
    Defect
    The inverter assembly may overheat which will cause warning lamps to illuminate and the vehicle to enter a fail safe mode. Fail safe allows the vehicle to be driven on reduced power to a place of safety. However it is possible for the hybrid system to shut down causing the vehicle to stop which increases the risk of a collision.
    Remedy

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
    Defect
    The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.

  16. Turbocharger oil may cause engine damage or fire

    Reported January 7, 2015Model years 2008–2014DVSA recall R/2014/16039,420 vehicles affected

    Oil may build up in the turbocharger and enter the combustion chamber, causing engine damage. In extreme cases, oil could be ejected and cause a fire if it meets an ignition source. Depending on diagnosis, modify the intercooler layout, update ECU software, or upgrade the turbocharger and/or vacuum pump.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    RISK OF FIRE
    Defect
    Oil may accumulate in the turbo charger and in certain circumstances flow into the combustion chamber. This may cause engine damage. In extreme cases oil can be ejected from the engine and if it comes in contact with an ignition source may result in a fire.
    Remedy
    Depending vehicle diagnosis modify intercooler layout to improve air flow; upgrade ECU software; upgrade turbo charger and/or vacuum pump

  17. Window switch may overheat

    Reported October 26, 2012Model years 2006–2008DVSA recall R/2012/118552,196 vehicles affected

    Moisture or other fluids may enter the driver's window switch, causing it to overheat, melt or smoke and potentially start a fire. The switch will be checked; a waterproof cover will be fitted, and a damaged switch will be replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    FIRE MAY OCCUR
    Defect
    It is possible moisture or other fluids may enter the drivers window and contaminate the main power window switch. If this occurs and the switch is damaged it could overheat and cause it to melt and/or smoke. If this situation is not identified it could result in a vehicle fire.
    Remedy
    Recall all affected vehicles and check the switch. If the switch is not damaged a waterproof cover will be fitted. If the switch is damaged it will be replaced and a waterproof cover will be fitted.

  18. Rear suspension arm may fail

    Reported September 12, 2012Model years 2007–2011DVSA recall R/2012/085395,178 vehicles affected

    Adjustment during servicing may allow backlash and corrosion, causing the threads to deteriorate and the arm to fail, with possible loss of control. The remedy is to check the arm torque and replace the arm if needed.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    REAR SUSPENSION ARM MAY SEPARATE
    Defect
    If the rear suspension arm is adjusted as part of a wheel alignment or other repairs whilst in service it is possible that backlash can occur. This can allow corrosion to develop and cause the threads to deteriorate. Ultimately this could result in failure of the arm with a resultant loss of control of the vehicle.
    Remedy
    Recall all affected vehicles to check the torque on the arm. Where necessary the arm will be replaced.

  19. Accelerator pedal may return slowly or fail to return to idle

    Reported February 6, 2010Model years 2006–2010DVSA recall R/2010/0101,220,982 vehicles affected

    Condensation on a worn part in the throttle pedal assembly may cause the accelerator pedal to return slowly or fail to return to idle. A steel reinforcing bar will be fitted to create clearance and strengthen the return spring.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
    Defect
    It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
    Remedy
    Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.

  20. Rear brake caliper bolts may loosen

    Reported January 28, 2009Model years 2008DVSA recall R/2008/1898 vehicles affected

    Rear brake caliper retaining bolts may loosen, causing unusual noise or allowing a caliper to detach and break the brake disc. The retaining bolts on both rear calipers will be replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    REAR BRAKE CALIPERS MAY DETACH
    Defect
    It has been identified that the rear brake caliper retaining bolts may become loose due to their being tightened to an insufficient torque.This would in the first instance; result in an unusual noise and in the worst case detachment of the caliper which may result in the breakage of the brake disc.
    Remedy
    Recalled vehicles will have the near and offside brake caliper retaining bolts replaced.
