The engine ignition coil may not be to the correct specification. The internal electrical components of the coil may short circuit resulting in an engine misfire. In the worst case this short circuit may cause a fuse inside the Power Distribution Module (IPDM) to fail stopping power to the ignition relay. In this condition the engine may stall and prevent the customer from being able to restart the engine.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the ignition coil with new.

It has been identified that due to the incorrect assembly of the driver airbag inflator. If the vehicle is involved in a collision and the air bag is required to deploy then the gas flow path may have been blocked increasing the internal pressure within the inflator. As a result the driver airbag inflator casing may crack and fragment.

Fix: Recall all affected vehicle to inspect and where necessary replace driver airbag with a quality assured item.

It is possible that the steering wheel mounting bolt may not have been torqued to the correct specification. In addition this torque setting may deteriorate over time as axial tension on the steering wheel boss can be affected by temperature change. The driver will receive warning of the issue by the excessive play/movement in the steering wheel. However should the driver neglect to take notice of this warning it is possible that the steering wheel could detach and affect direction control of the vehicle.

Fix: Recall all affected vehicle check the torque and if required re-torque the steering wheel bolt.
