0 LAND ROVER Discovery 3 TDV6, Range Rover Sport TDV6 Diesel

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 CAN-AM Spyder Roadster

The power steering unit on these vehicles may not always provide the assistance the rider is expecting, leading them to apply more forces to the handlebars. At this increased level of force the rider may turn the handlebar more than they intended. If this happens the vehicle may steer out of the traffic lane which increases the possibility of a crash with other traffic or of driving off the road.

0 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSC

Due to the design of the bracket, the LED controller may come in contact with the oil filter. Over time, this contact can lead to a hole in the oil filter and a possible oil leak. This condition might cause excessive oil to get on the rear tyre, causing a loss of traction, possibly leading to a crash and potential injury or death.

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 ECE43β€”Glass and Glazing Installation.

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.

The previous software upgrade for the engine control unit may not fully overcome the possibility of piston damage occurring as a result of a less than ideal combustion process. If the vehicle continues to be driven with a damaged piston, engine oil may be injected into the engine compartment and could come into contact with hot components.

Volvo Car Corporation have identified that the engine cooling fan may permanently stop working due to a software error in the Fan Control Module (FCM). If the fan stops it may cause reduced Air Condition (AC) performance and the driver will be informed of the increased coolant temperature by the yellow information lamp in the DIM and the following text message: reduce speed. However, if the engine temperature continues to rise, the red warning lamp will be lit together with text instructions to stop the car safely.
