Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2014/063 (34119)

Manufacturer Reference

4C570

Defect

"Engineering investigations have identified that vehicles operated in countries which have high road salt usage during winter months may experience an increased risk of corrosion build up. In extreme cases the corrosion can propagate into the electronic circuits and result in overheating.In rare cases the overheating may be sufficient to ignite the module and surrounding wiring and components."

Remedy

"A supplemental wiring loom that removes the power supply to the fan control module when the ignition is switched off is required to be fittedto affected vehicles. An additional water shield must also be fitted to protect the module against water entry and corrosion build up."

R/2008/113 (14878)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

It has been identified that a batch of vehicles may have been fitted with section of power assisted steering hose that is not to specification. This could result in premature failure of the hose with loss of steering assistance and in extreme cases the possibility of an engine bay fire occasioned by escaping hydraulic fluid coming into contact with hot components.

Remedy

Recalled vehicles will have the subject hose production code checked. The hose will be changed should it fall within the given criteria.
