REC-003173
active0 Toyota Yaris NCP90, NCP91, NCP93
On certain Yaris NCP90, NCP91 and NCP93 vehicles, an insulator pad was incorrectly installed underneath both of the front seat belt retractors (equipped with seat belt pretensioners) which are located in the centre (B) pillars. There is a possibility that these insulator pads could be damaged following a collision as a result of the high temperature gas generated during the front seat belt pretensioner operation if activated.

Investigations have shown that complete unfolding and inflation of certain windowbags cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances following an accident and subsequent triggering. As a result the full protective effect of the windowbags may be compromised and thereby place occupants at additional risk.

REC-003217
active0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter FK & FM
In affected trucks, due to incorrect routing of the brake air tube connecting the air tank and brake valve, the air tube may interfere with the bracket which locates the throttle cable and the horn harness. As a result, during normal operation the air tube and bracket may rub together. In extreme cases there is the possibility the air tube may leak, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

REC-001075
active1998-2004 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter, Heavy
Investigations have shown that moisture may enter the park brake chambers causing corrosion to form on the internal springs. In extreme cases, there is the remote possibility the spring could break and air leak from the brake chamber's diaphragms. This would result in the park brake unexpectedly being applied and locking-on during normal operation.

REC-003219
active0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FN61F, FS52J & FV54J
It is possible that if an affected truck is driven at high speed for an extended period, a crack may develop in the propeller shaft centre bearing bracket/s. In such cases there is the remote possibility the bracket/s could fracture, causing the propeller shaft assembly to drop and resulting in sudden loss of drive. This is due to the bracket/s having insufficient strength if a vehicle is operated at high-speed.

REC-003218
active0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FP418
Investigations have shown that if an affected vehicle is subjected to abnormally frequent hill starts or quick take offs, the weld between the propeller shaft spine and pipe may crack in extreme cases. This is due to the weld lacking sufficient durability. If the truck continues to be driven in this condition there is the possibility the propeller shaft may break, preventing drive from being transmitted to the rear wheels.

REC-003160
active0 JAGUAR XF
A concern has been identified with the instrument cluster speaker that provides some of the audible warnings on certain vehicles identified within the above range. The speaker wires may fracture as a consequence of an overly aggressive tick tock sound wave form, the volume of which is vehicle speed dependent. At higher speed the wave form has an amplitude tht aggravates the condition where the speaker wire could fail. It is therefore possible that, through normal use, over time the speaker will cease to operate. The following audible notifications are impacted. Turner indicator, seat belt warning, lights warning driver door open, driver intervene (adaptive cruise control vehicles only) and seat memory.
