POWER STEERING PUMP MAY FAIL
R/2015/217, launched 29 December 2015, 118 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The batch number of the power steering pump must be checked and if found to be from a faulty batch replaced. On the faulty batches there is nonconformity of the external supply and in certain circumstances the power steering pump may fail causing the driver to use additional input to steer the vehicle therefore delaying the directional movement of the vehicle.

LOSS OF CONTROL
R/2015/090, launched 22 May 2015, 61 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The tyres fitted to affected vehicles are incompatible with the weight capacity of the vehicle. This may cause a tyre failure due to incorrect loading of the vehicle.

REAR AXLE MAY MOVE
R/2011/139, launched 24 October 2011, 8 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It is possible the rear axle leaf spring retaining bolts were not tightened to the correct specification during production. This could allow movement between the axle and leaf spring. In extreme circumstances this could cause the vehicle to lose control.
Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles to replace the U bolts with new items and tighten them to the correct specification.
SPARE WHEEL MAY DETACH
R/2011/098, launched 2 September 2011, 8,704 vehicles affected across the models it covers

Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the spare wheel lifting and securing mechanism.
BRAKES MAY FAIL
R/2007/172, launched 7 December 2007, 336 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.
STEERING COULD BECOME INCREASINGLY STIFF.
R/2007/153, launched 23 November 2007, 5,427 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It has been identified that; due to a possible lack of lubricant between the steering rack and pinion the steering may become increasingly stiff to operate. This can eventually lead to damage to the steering rack teeth. As a consequence the steering operation of the vehicle may become increasingly difficult.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the steering rack inspected for damage. If no damage is evident the rack and pinion will be lubricated. Should any damage be in evidence the steering rack will be replaced.
FRONT WINDSCREEN WIPERS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
R/2007/152, launched 23 November 2007, 3,253 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It has been identified that the possibility exists that water may ingress into the front windscreen wiper motor. Should this occur the wipers may become inoperative. In conditions of poor visibility this may result in impaired driver visibility.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the front windscreen wiper motor fitted with a protective cover.
TYRE VALVE MAY BREAK CAUSING RAPID DEFLATION (STEEL WHEELS)
R/2007/150, launched 23 November 2007, 368 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It has been identified that due to manufacture from an incorrect material the tyre inflation valve may break. Should this occur rapid deflation of the tyre and possible vehicle instability would occur.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the tyre inflation valve replaced on all steel wheels including the spare.
POSSIBILITY OF REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE
R/2007/059, launched 18 May 2007, 4,535 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Due to the inlet filter for the EGR valve being in an exposed position there is a possibility of water entering the brake servo vacuum pipe. This could result in the possibility of ice forming in the brake servo vacuum pipe in conditions of low ambient temperature. As a consequence this may lead to reduced servo assistance to the braking system.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the EGR solenoids checked for the presence of separate air filters. If theses are not evident new solenoids with separate air filters will be fitted.
DROPSIDE PANEL MAY DETACH
R/2007/011, launched 9 March 2007, 29 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It has been identified that the possibility exists that breakage of the dropside hinge fastening plate may occur on vehicles fitted with a factory installed dropside body. This can result in the detachment of the dropside panel.
Remedy: Subject vehicles will be recalled at which time the hinge fastening plates will be changed.
U-BOLTS ON REAR AXLE MAY BREAK
R/2006/120, launched 11 August 2006, 117 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The U bolts securing the leaf spring to the rear axle may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This may result in the U bolts breaking.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the U bolts checked to ensure there is no damage and that they have been tightened to the correct torque.
POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF BRAKE FLUIDS AND EXTENDED PEDAL TRAVEL
R/2004/181, launched 1 October 2004, 4,322 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The brake hoses may chafe on the wheel aches and in extreme cases cause a brake fluid leak. The driver will be informed of the defect by the illumination of a warning lamp on the dashboard. If ignored then this will result in longer than expected stopping distances.
Remedy: Recall the affected vehicles and visually inspect the front brake hoses reinforcement and protection. The brake hoses if worn will be replaced.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COULD FOUL ON THE FLOOR
R/2004/079, launched 30 May 2004, 3,770 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Possibility that the accelerator may foul on the floor mounted pedal stop
Remedy: Recall likely to be affected vehicles and fit a modified throttle pedal stop.
INTERIOR FAN WIRING MAY CHAFE ON DASHBOARD SUPPORT
R/2003/027, launched 5 February 2003, 1,634 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The interior fan wiring may chafe on a dashboard support. This could result in a short circuit and a fire in the fan unit.
Remedy: Fit additional insulation and protection to the fan electrical wiring.
WATER INGRESS TO ABS CONTROL UNIT
R/2002/169, launched 9 December 2002, 19 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Water may enter the ABS (antilock brake) control unit through a harness connector. This will cause the ABS control unit to malfunction and the fault warning lamp to illuminate.
Remedy: Fit a new ABS wiring harness which has watertight connectors.
HANDBRAKE CONCERN
R/2002/079, launched 15 April 2002, 186 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The handbrake cable may have been incorrectly fitted and could become disconnected from the rear brake mechanism. This would result in the handbrake becoming ineffective.
Remedy: Check that the handbrake cable is correctly connected to the rear brake mechanism and fit a new cable where it is not.
FUEL TANK MOUNTINGS
R/2000/116, launched 10 January 2001, 5,348 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Fuel tank rear mountings may not inadequately secure the tank with a risk of possible disengagement.
Remedy: Recall affected vehicles and fit reinforcement plates to rear tank mountings.
POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN BRAKE SERVO ASSISTANCE
R/1997/086, launched 20 March 1998, 448 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: On batteries fitted with non-watertight caps rainwater from the windscreen may run into the battery and result in a leakage of battery contents. This leakage may damage the adjacent fabric reinforced rubber brake servo pipe and reduce or cancel the servo assistance available when braking.
Remedy: Affected vehicles are being recalled to have a cover fitted to the battery and checking of the brake servo pipe for damage.
