The electric power steering system may still be set in the factory operating mode. In this condition where another defect arises with the electric power steering system the driver may experience additional unexpected steering inputs from the electric power steering system. These additional system generated steering inputs may exceed the ability of a normal driver who may lose vehicle control with no warning. This can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either 1. inspect the electronic power steering software version and where necessary download the correct software or 2. where the vehicle is not accessible to the supplier due to logistical reasons the dealer will replace the steering rack with a steering rack built to the correct specification.

Anti-Roll bars of incorrect specification have been fitted to vehicles equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Constantly Variable Damping (CVD). In this mis-built condition at the extremes of adhesion and in an over steer situation the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system will not mitigate the over steer. The drivers will most likely loose vehicle control of the vehicle. This can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the rear Anti-roll bar with the correct specification component.
