---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2016/300 (41)

Manufacturer Reference

003245200

Defect

The electrical contact of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) is not sufficiently robust over the service life of the vehicle. As a result the power steering support may fail possibly leading to disconcerting driving situation for the driver. Additionally in a few cases a localised thermal event cannot be excluded.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering gear (EPS).

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2013/095 (21502)

Manufacturer Reference

001345200

Defect

Due to a fault with an internal connection within the Fuel Filter Heater (FFH) it is possible that during temperatures below freezing the FFH can remain permanently activated. This will normally cause the FFH to overheat which will result in the inability to start the vehicle due to a flat battery. This can occur even when the ignition is turned off. However in extreme cases it could cause a vehicle fire.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles to replace the FFH.

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2012/150 (22737)

Manufacturer Reference

0012390300

Defect

The power steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt may fail which will lead to the loss of power steering assistance and the necessity for the driver to supply additional input to steering the vehicle.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt with a more robust version.

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2012/078 (5)

Manufacturer Reference

0032080200

Defect

The power steering box housing may not be machined to the correct specification. This could cause an over pressurisation of bellows due to the insecurity of a snap ring and result in a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure. Oil will then be sprayed onto hot engine components and may ignite.

Remedy

Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the steering box replaced.

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2012/049 (21)

Manufacturer Reference

0011930200

Defect

Some engines are fitted with an additional water pump for the turbo charger. In some circumstances a crack may develop which then leads to melting of the plug connections and the housing. Further heat development may then lead to scorch damage. In exceptional cases such overheating can lead to smouldering of the water pump. If smouldering occurs an engine compartment fire and vehicle fire cannot be excluded.

Remedy

The water pump will be replaced for a new more robust version.

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2011/147 (557)

Manufacturer Reference

0011830200

Defect

Due to the ingress of moisture it is possible that a short circuit can occur in the additional coolant pump for the exhaust turbocharger. The driver will be informed of the issue by a warning message on the display in the instrument panel. If not addressed it is possible for further heat build up in the pump which may cause the plug connection and housing to melt and in extreme cases a localised fire in the engine compartment or vehicle.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the additional coolant pump.

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2011/123 (21923)

Manufacturer Reference

0013080200

Defect

Moisture may enter the fuel filter heater at an electrical connection. Should this occur it can cause a discharge of the battery causing non starting of the vehicle. Also if it occurs whilst the vehicle is in motion it could result in a fire when the vehicle is left unattended.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel filter heater.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2009/074 (53)

Manufacturer Reference

0034720100

Defect

It has been identified that during the manufacturing process cracks may have formed in the area of the brake disc body. Subsequent surface treatment means that any such crack will not be detectable at a later date. Should a crack have formed this may cause the brake disc to fail whilst the vehicle is in motion causing the affected brake to become inoperative.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the rear axle brake discs checked for the affected production date. The brake discs will be checked if necessary.
