  1. GEN-2, NEO · short circuit may occur

    Fix: Recall affected vehicles for the replacement of the Clock Spring and associated wiring.

  3. GEN-2 · battery harness tie band needs rerouting

    9 Jun 2005 · R/2005/075

    The battery harness may not be sufficiently secured. There is a chance if not noticed during servicing that the insulation of the harness could chaff and expose the wiring. This could then generate sparks and excessive heat within the engine bay.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and where necessary fit an extra cable securing band.
