Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2013/015 (15)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

In the front wipers on subject left hand drive cars there is high friction at the tightening surface between the wiper arm nut and the wiper arm that could result in the nut being insufficiently tight. If the movement of the wiper arm is restricted by an external load such as a build up of heavy snow on the windshield the wiper motor torque may exceed the wiper arm slipping torque and one or both wipers could become inoperative. If this happens then visibility could be reduced which could increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Replace the front wiper arm nuts

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2010/170 (15445)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

If the incorrect brake fluid is used in the brake system it is possible that the rear seal can become dry and curl in its recess due to the operation of the piston. This can result in a brake fluid leak which will when the fluid reaches a low level illuminate the brake fluid low warning light on the dash.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the rear seal with an improved one.
