0 SUBARU Impreza Hatch

Certain 2001-2003 MY Subaru Impreza hatches may have been manufactured with tailgate struts (also known as tailgate stays) that were inadequately tightened during production. The left and right tailgate struts are designed to support the tailgate when it is placed in an upright position. Each is connected to the tailgate by means of a stud bolt that is attached directly to a welded nut located within the tailgate. If one or both of the stud bolts wwere inadequately tightened, the loose stud bolt may put unintended stress at the area around the welded nut. Over time and after repeated tailgate operation (opening and closing), this condition could result in the welded nut, along with the tailgate strut, separating and detaching from the tailgate causing the tailgate to close unexpectedly.

0 Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars

Certain vehicles which visited an authorised Mercedes-Benz workshop between 15-17 April 2008 and 5-10 June 2008 may have received a partially incorrect software update affecting some electronic control units. Unfortunately in these individual cases the software downloaded from the manufacturer by the workshop was inconsistent with the vehicle build specification. Under the most unfavourable circumstances this could affect the engine cut-off in the event of a collision, the on-board diagnosis function, or the fuel sensor and speedometer signal.

2006 Ford 2.4L Diesel RWD Transit

Due to the Power Assisted Steering (PAS) system high operating pressure, in combination with resonance of the high pressure pipe connection to the PAS pump, there is a risk the pipe retaining snap ring within the nut connection on the pump could wear. Excessive wear of the snap ring/pipe will allow the pipe to detach from the pump, resulting in loss of power steering assistance and PAS fluid leaking int the engine compartment, with risk of the PAS fluid contacting the exhaust manifold and catching fire. A retaining collar has been developed to ensure the pipe cannot detach from the pump nut.
