REC-001554
active2006–2008 ISUZU FV Series
After investigation it was found that due to poor fitment of the oil seal (Gap between the oil seal and needles in the bearing cap) there were some bearing caps where it is possible that a needle could have dropped out during transportation from the supplier in US to the assembly plant Japan. Also a lack of grease applied between the cross pin and the bearing cap was identified. If a vehicle is operated under such conditions, the cross pins may seize in a short period of time. In the worst case scenario the driveshaft universal joint could fail allowing the driveshaft to become disconnected and disable the vehicle.

REC-000108
active2008 BMW F800 GS
Front-wheel quick-release axles that are not in compliance with design specifications might be installed in some motorcycles. Due to irregularities in the manufacturing process, in isolated cases the quick-release axle might be of reduced wall thickness. Under these circumstances there is a possibility of severe loads on the front wheel (off-roading, for example) causing damage to the quick-release axle. Under worst-case conditions the quick release axle could break.
