The recall campaign consists of downloading a new version of vehicle exterior lighting software which is necessary to prevent the lighting switch position from being incorrectly detected by the lighting management system. In rare cases this may cause the exterior lights to inadvertently cut out with no action taken by the driver.

0 AUDI A3, TT

There is a possibility that the control unit in the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) can cause a false temperature signal indicating that the clutch is overloaded. If this should happen, the control unit will open the clutch in order to protect the gearbox. As a consequence, the clutch protection function is activated, resulting in flashing gear-change indicator, uneven transmission of power, reduced engine torque and release of clutch.

2006 KIA Carnival, Sorento

There is a possibility that due to a design flaw the stop lamp switch may not operate correctly. As a result of this concern: - The brake lights may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. - The brake lights may remain illuminated when the brake pedal is released. - On some occasions, the shifter cannot be moved from the Park (P) position. - The ESC light may illuminate indicating 'ESC OFF'. - Operating the brake may not deactivate the Cruise Control System.

0 JAGUAR XF

A concern has been identified on the affected vehicles whereby the in-tank electric fuel pump may not be correctly activated following a vehicle start up cycle. As a result, it is possible that the engine may cut out whilst driving at a steady state cruising speed and the engine may not be able to be instantly re-started. It is possible that the vehicle may be restarted by cranking the engine for approximately 20 to 30 seconds duration.

2007–2010 Volvo S80, V70 and XC60

Volvo Car Corporation investigations have identified that the fuel Pump Electronic Module (PEM) may in certain conditions not wake up as intended which, in turn, inhibits the start of the fuel pump. If this condition would occur, it may lead to that the engine may not start, start roughly and/or run roughly at idle. The engine may also stop shortly after start-up which in some cases may cause stalling. Investigations have shown that it may in certain conditions be possible to drive up to approximately 100m before the engine stalls.

2006 HYUNDAI Sonata

The recall is for the replacement of the brake lamp switch for all Sonata models manufactured within the VIN range listed above. Hyundai Motor Company Australia Pty Ltd have advised that the component mentioned has a high probability of experiencing open circuit which will result in the stop lamp failing to illuminte when the service brake is applied. As a result of this there is a potential risk that motorists following may be unaware of the vehicles intention to slow down or stop, resulting in a rear end collision.

The above vehicles may experience poor performance, fuel smell, engine noise, a fuel leak onto the rear of the engine, a fuel leak onto the ground or a fire, as a result of the front seal of the high pressure fuel pump failing due to excessive wear of the pump front bearing. The failure is due to inadequate lubrication of the fuel pump front bearing.

Discovery 3 vehicles LA367110-LA440000 and Range Rover Sport LS929086-LS117000. Oil may migrate from the engine driven vacuum pump and collect in the brake booster. This may cause a progressive loss of brake assistance, resulting in hard brake pedal and increased stopping distances for the same pedal effort. In extreme cases engine oil may migrate from the brake booster to the brake master cylinder which may lead to a loss of one or both of the foundation brake system hydraulic brake circuits. This therefore may lead to increased brake pedal travel, increased stopping distances and, in the event of both primary and secondary brake master cylinder seal failure, a total loss of service brakes. Discovery 3 vehicles LA440001-LA513325 and Range Rover Sport vehicles LS117001-LS215618. Vehicles may experience a temporary sticking of the vacuum non-return valve in the brake assistance vacuum pump mounted on the engine. This can lead to a temporary loss of vacuum assistance on the braking system. This can result in increased pedal efforts after the first 3 or 4 applications of the brake pedal after initial engine start for a period of no more than 60 seconds. The hydraulic braking system itself remains fully functional. Once the valve has unstuck the booster vacuum is immediately restored, full braking assistance is available and the brakes perform normally for the remainder of that drive cycle.

0 LAND ROVER Range Rover

The affected vehicles windshield may not be chemically bonded to the Polyurethane (PU) adhesive. Where the windshield is not chemically bonded, water ingress may occur and there may be reports of increased wind noise. In extreme cases, where there is no chemical bond between glass and PU adhesive, full windshield retention may not be achieved in the event of a crash of sufficient severity to deploy the front airbags. This concern may also be a non compliance with regulatory requirements of ECE43—Glass and Glazing Installation.

REC-003211

0 JAGUAR XJ

A concern has been identified with corrosion to brake pipes at the junction between the twin under floor pipes and the rear cross member pipes fitted to 2003 and certain 2004 MJ XJ vehicles. A review of vehicle build shows that a touch condition can exist between the under floor brake pipes and the Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) pad at the rear of the under floor under tray. Where a touch condition exists, water and dirt can collect and be held in contact with the pipes and their unions reducing the corrosion life of the pipes accordingly. In these cases the corrosion can lead to loss of the mechanical integrity of one or both pipes. This can result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance in the corresponding circuit, and simultaneous display of the 'fluid level low' warning light. In the event of both pipes losing integrity at the same time, complete loss of service brakes will occur.
