REC-003159
active0 SUBARU Tribeca
FHI (Subaru Japan) have determined that the front lateral link in the rear suspension of 07MY, 08MY and certain 09MY Tribeca vehicles may crack and if left unchecked could, in time, break. There is a safety risk associated with this condition. If the lateral link were to break the rear suspension would experience lack of 'toe' control and the driver may consequently lose control of the vehicle.

REC-003132
active0 JAGUAR XF
A concern has been identified with the fitting process used in vehicle manufacture in relation to both rear seat belt D-loops on a number of 2009MY Jaguar XF vehicles. A minority of vehicles built up until VIN R22438 may have had seat belt D-loops fitted where the D-loops may not freely rotate. The seat belt may not run freely when the rear seat belts are being pulled out and, should a vehicle suffer a moderate to heavy frontal impact, the rear seat occupants may not be fully restrained.

Failure of two cast alloy rear suspension uprights have been reported. These failures resulted in detaching of the main wishbone mounting, and/or toe adjuster mounting from the main body of the rear upright. Fatigue related cracks have also been found in the body of the uprights. Both of these failures reported resulted in loss of vehicle control due to sudden loss of rear wheel location.

Under extreme exposure levels to engine oil, contained in the combustion blow-by gas, the material compound of the Intercooler Outlet Pipe Insulator may swell and, as a result, dislodge from the throttle body. After extended periods in this dislodged condition, the improper ratio of air/fuel mixture may cause excessive deposition of carbon particulate in the Diesel Particulate Filter, and in an extreme instance may cause the Diesel Particulate Filter to catch fire.

REC-003142
active0 LAND ROVER Freelander 2 Diesel
Condensation from the air conditioning evaporator mounted in the HeVAC unit can come into contact with the control circuitry for the additional electric booster heater; and a short circuit may result. This normally results in draining of the battery which eventually will go flat. This may lead to a non start situation. Additionally the short circuit may lead to a distinct smell from hot and/or melted components which in extreme circumstances may develop in to a fire in the interior of the vehicle. All of these symptoms can occur when the vehicle is in use or parked and unattended.

Due to an incomplete soldering process during manufacture, certain electrical connections on the circuit boards of the ABC body acceleration sensors may trigger random sprung mass vibrations at the front axle of the vehicle. This in turn could influence driving stability and operational safety. In some cases a warning message may also be displayed in the instrument cluster.
