Vehicle ID: ZGA7B2N100E000012 to ZGA7B2N100E001639; ZGA7B2N100E000012 to ZGA7B2N100E001639; ZGA7B2N100E000012 to ZGA7B2N100E001639; ZGA7B2N100E000012 to ZGA7B2N100E001639; ZGA7B2N100E000012 to ZGA7B2N100E001639; and ZGA7B2N100E000012 to ZGA7B2N100E001639.
Renault Kangoo van
Seat belt may fail: there is a possible issue with the security of the lower seat belt mounting bolt, which could cause it to loosen. If this were to occur then the bolt could ultimately fully unwind and detach. This would then result in the occupant not being restrained by the seat belt, if the vehicle was to be involved in a collision. Recall all affected vehicles and replace the lower seat belt mounting bolts.
Workhorse custom chassis: motor coach W20, W22, W24
Fire may occur: on vehicles fitted with the GM L18 petrol/gasoline engine, it is possible that the retaining clip for the fuel rail pulse damper may not have been correctly heat treated. This could result in the retaining clip fracturing without warning, which will allow pressurised fuel to spray onto the engine. If an ignition source is present, it may cause an engine bay fire. Recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel rail damper retaining clip.
Workhorse custom chassis W24, W22, W20
Braking efficiency may be affected: : the Actia instrument cluster has been programmed with the incorrect software.This may result in the driver not receiving any warnings regarding defects within the vehicles brake system, as the system will not illuminate warning lights indicating brake system fault codes. This could, in extreme cases, result a reduction in braking efficiency. Recall all affected vehicles and reprogram the Actia instrument cluster, the dash.
MAN truck TGS, TGX
It is possible, in certain conditions, for humidity to enter the voltage vonverter, which can lead to smouldering/scorching inside the unit, producing smoke and toxic fumes in the cab. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a cover that more effectively protects the voltage converter against humidity. Vehicle affected: WMA06SZZ08W119951 to WMA94XZZX9L056693
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Rear suspension springs may not be to specification and could fail at the spring eye. If such a failure occurs vehicle control could be lost.

Isuzu Truck N series fitted with Easyshift transmission
Instrument cluster may fail to operate correctly:Failure of the instrument cluster printed circuit - due to overheating and stress, with the introduction of the gear change position in the instrument cluster of the easy shift transmissions - means that the instrument cluster lights will not function or, while driving, may fail. Replacement of the instrument cluster is required.
Citroen Dispatch III
Risk of fire: the engine cylinder head may not comply with manufacturing specification, whichmay lead to an oil leak that, if not rectified, could result in fire if the oil contacts hot engine components. Recall the affected vehicles, check the cylinder head and replace if required. Vehicle affected: VF7*****BZ028083 to VF7******BZ028083
Vauxhall Movano
Rear wheel bearing may shear: It is possible that the rear wheel bearing has been damaged while it was assembled onto the stub axle. This should be identified by excessive noise. However, in the worst case, if not detected, it could result in bearing failure and the detachment of the wheel and hub. Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the wheel bearings with new items, which will have protective sleeves to aid correct installation. Vehicles affected
Mercedes-Benz Vito and Viano
Fire may occur: in certain arduous operating conditions it is possible that the air conditioning fan relay could overload and, in the worst case, could catch fire. Recall the vehicles likely to be affected to replace the air conditioning fan relay with a modified component. Build dates afected: 01/01/2007 to 31/12/2010
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Retrofit an optimised stop plug for the oil dipstick guide tube. Vehicle ID: WDB9300361L329942 to WDB9342412L403579
Mercedes-Benz Actros
Risk of fire. The electrical cable may chafe at the bracket of the engine control unit. This may lead to malfunctions in the vehicles electrical system. In the worst case, the chafing could lead to a short circuit between unfused, positive cables and the bracket, whereby a risk of fire is possible. Install an edge guard at the bracket of the engine control unit to prevent chafing of the engine/transmission wiring harness. Vehicle ID: WDB9300342L458767 to WDB9342512L520462
Citroen Relay
Spare wheel may detach: The spare wheel winch may fail and not secure the spare wheel to the vehicle, so allowing it to detach from the vehicle. Recall all affected vehicles and replace the spare wheel winch. Vehicle ID: VF7******11032532 to VF7******11316369
Peugeot 807, Expert III
Power steering may fail: It is possible that the wiring harness for the power assisted steering motor may come into contact with other components in the engine bay. Should this occur, then it is possible that the power steering assistance on this large vehicle may become affected. Recall affected vehicles and fit protection to the wiring harness. Vehicle ID: VF3******AZ007149 to VF3******BZ008220
Citroen C8 & Despatch III
Power steering may fail: It is possible that the wiring harness for the power assisted steering motor may come into contact with other components in the engine bay. Should this occur, then it is possible that the power steering assistance on this large vehicle may become affected. Recall affected vehicles and fit protection to the wiring harness. Vehicle ID: VF7******AZ007571 to VF7******BZ008468.
Renault Master
Spare wheel may detach: the carrier winch system may allow the spare wheel to be loosely installed, after the driver has used the winch. In this condition, the spare wheel might move during driving, which may damage and eventually break the cable and guiding pin of the winch system. In the worst case, the spare wheel would become detached from the vehicle. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the complete spare wheel winch system.
Mitsubishi Canter
Fire may occur: on vehicles with anti-lock brake systems it is possible for the earth of the ABS hydraulic unit to corrode. In the worst cases, this could cause the hydraulic motor to run continuously, causing the motor to overheat. Alternatively,the corrosion could cause some heat development at the terminal to the ABS hydraulic unit and start a fire. Recalled vehicles must have the earth line for the ABS hydraulic unit replaced and, if necessary, the corroded connector and/or ABS hydraulic unit must also be replaced. Affected vehicles: TYA4676142A609805 to TYB4678381A622537
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 906
Passenger seat may detach: rivets retaining the seat cushion of the front passenger seat may be too small and, in an accident, may not retain the cushion. This could lead to an increased risk of injury. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the double front passenger bench seat. Vehicles affected: WDB90663322S530019 to WDB9066352S529672
Mercedes-Benz Vito and Viano, fitted with OM646 engines.
Risk of fire: on vehicles fitted with the OM646 engine, it is possible that an airconditioning (AC) hose bracket could chaff the wiring harness for the three phase alternator. If this is not rectified, there is a risk of a short circuit, which may result in a fire. Recall all affected vehicles to check for damage to the wiring and replace, if found damaged, with the installation of an additional spacer clamp.
