I-MIEV · braking performance may be affected
28 Nov 2014 · R/2014/108
It has been identified that the failure of an electric relay can cause the service brake electric vacuum pump to fail. The issue will be identified to the driver by the illumination of a brake warning lamp on the vehicle's instrument panel and an audible warning. If this occurs it will result in a need to apply higher brake pedal force and an increase in stopping distances
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles and replace the electric vacuum pump relay.

CANTER · engine may stall
5 Nov 2014 · R/2014/104
On affected vehicles; Debris form manufacture may be present in the valve block which controls clutch operation and gear selection. This can lead to the clutch not being operated wrong or no gear selection. It is also possible that the engine may stall.
Fix: Recall vehicles and flush the oil in Duotornic clutch circuit.

CANTER · transmission oil may leak
1 Aug 2014 · R/2014/082
It is possible for the hose clamps on the oil lines from and to the transmission oil cooler may work loose. With regular use this may result in a leak of transmission oil and in the worst case the oil lines might become detached and the transmission may fail.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hose clamps of the oil lines from and to the transmission oil cooler.

OUTLANDER · possible loss of drive
25 Jul 2014 · R/2014/072
As a result of incorrect machining of the oil seal installation aperture in the transfer cover by one of the transfer box suppliers it is possible the oil seal may move from its intended position in the casing. This can result Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) passing from the main gearbox into the transfer casing causing the ATF pressure to drop which will result in poor shifting and the illumination of a warning lamp on the instrument panel. Also as the oil level in the transfer box increase it can leak out from the transfer box breather pipe onto the road surface. In the worst case scenario the vehicle can lose all drive.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the transfer box. If found to be one of the affected transfer boxes then the transfer box will be replaced.

LANCER EVOLUTION · head light and indicatos may fail
25 Jul 2014 · R/2014/073
Due to a fault in the soldering process of the lighting switch circuit board it is possible that the solder on the lighting circuit switch can crack as a result of temperature changes during production. This can result in the lights or turn signals failing totally or blinking/flicker.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the switch and if required replace the switch assembly.

CANTER · seat belt may not perform correctly
10 Jun 2014 · R/2014/053
It is possible that a securing rivet for the inertia reel of the seat belt may work loose. With regular usage this may result in noise development with increased play and in the worst case no restraint function being present which leads to a safety risk for the driver should a collision occur.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the seat belt.

OUTLANDER · reduction in power steering assistance
21 May 2014 · R/2014/044
Due to a nonconformity in the manufacture of the alternator pulley (free wheel type) the contact surface of the pulley might be deformed. In use the tightening torque of the alternator pulley can decrease resulting in the pulley detaching from the alternator. Should this happen the driver will notice reduced power steering assistance and the warning lamp for the charging system will illuminate.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and ascertain which alternator is fitted. Where an unmodified alternator is fitted replace the alternator.

Soot may build on the piston ring causing the ring to seize in the groove allowing combustion gases to by-pass the piston. If not rectified this if ignored could cause the piston to overheat and melt.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to reprogram the engine ECU with new version software to change the pilot injection timing.

I · engine could overheat and stall
6 Feb 2014 · R/2013/142
On Petrol versions (HA1W) the air bubble separation function of the condenser tank for the engine cooling system may not function properly when the engine is running at high RPM. This could result in coolant overflowing from the condenser tank. If the coolant overflows repeatedly and use of the vehicle continues without sufficient coolant engine overheating could occur. In the worst case the engine could stall/heat seize and cannot be restarted
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the condenser tank refill the coolant and bleed the system.

MIRAGE · braking performance may be affected
18 Dec 2013 · R/2013/131
There is the possibility that air may have become trapped in the ABS hydraulic unit of the braking system caused by improper air bleeding during the factory brake fluid refill. In the worst case this can cause increased brake pedal stroke and/or decreased braking force.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hydraulic unit (ABS) and bleed the brakes.

Due to an incorrect shape of the power seat reclining lever the switch may get stuck. This causes current to flow through the reclining motor which heats up. In the worst case the cushion from the power seat and surrounding parts may be damaged due to heat generated from the reclining motor.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the powered seat recliner levers and where necessary the adjuster assemblies.
