There is a possibility that the accumulator diaphragm in the Hydraulic Brake Booster (HBB) might be manufactured improperly. This may cause the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator to drop. The following two symptoms may result :- 1) The brake assist might be delayed in sudden hard braking. 2) Relatively large brake pedal loads might be required after long-term parking and first engine start since specific brake pressure takes time to accumulate.

Fix: The Hydraulic Brake Booster nitrogen accumulator will be replaced with a modified one on all affected vehicles.

There is a possibility that the fuel tank upper panel may suffer from fatigue failure due to repeated stress caused by the fuel tank breathing. In addition the Spacerunners will be checked for cracks on the check valve due to interference with the cross member.

Fix: If any cracks are apparent the fuel tank will be replaced if no crack is visible a reinforcement plate will be fitted the check valve will be re-located.

There is a possibility that due to water and dirt ingress into the lower arm ball joint the ball stud and joint case may suffer from premature wear. In the worst case the ball stud may come out of the ball joint case.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles inspect the lateral lower arm ball joints and replace if free play exceeds manufacturers specification.

Under severe and extreme conditions where the vehicle is used mainly off-road in a wet muddy environment it is possible that the tapered section of the ball pin on the steering 'Pitman arm' may break. This in the worst case could result in a loss of steering control.

Fix: Recall the affected vehicles and replacing the Pitman arm with a quality assured component.

There is a possibility that the fuel tank may be incorrectly welded on its upper panel and baffle plate in the tank causing it to crack on the welded position. In the worst case this may cause the fuel tank to leak fuel.

Fix: Inspect the vehicles replace the fuel tanks if leaking and in cases where no abnormality is found apply a protector plate.

There is a possibility that a condenser may become detached from the circuit board due to the breakage of the component wiring. The engine may stop or be difficult to start.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles and apply silicone to the condenser to act as a vibration damper to counteract shocks that can be transmitted from the suspension through the body to the circuit board.

The Crankshaft Pulley securing bolt may not have been correctly torqued. The bolt may loosen or break and in the worst case result in detachment of the pulley.

Fix: All engines up to engine number YD2145 - remove pulley securing bolt increase the depth of the thread in the Crankshaft by 5 mm. Check bolt for damage and renew if necessary. Lubricate threads refit and tighten to specified torque. Engines numbered from YD2146 onwards - remove pulley securing bolt examine for damage and renew if necessary lubricate threads refit and tighten to specified torque.
