Recalled models: JAZZ HYBRID · 119,827 vehicles

The propellant used in certain air bag inflators may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. The excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material possibly causing severe injury to the vehicle occupants.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag inflator unit.

Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the passenger's air bag inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment

Fix: On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the passenger's air bag module.

Recalled models: JAZZ · 22,805 vehicles

Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the driver's air bag inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment.

Fix: On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the driver's air bag module.

Recalled models: JAZZ · 252,174 vehicles

Due to abnormal pressure the driver's air bag inflator case may rupture during deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment potentially causing injury to a vehicle occupant.

Fix: On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the drivers airbag module.

Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled upward toward the windshield or downward toward the front passenger�s foot well potentially causing injury to a vehicle occupant.

Fix: On affected vehicles replace the inflator inside the front passenger�s airbag module with a new one.

Recalled models: JAZZ · 242,653 vehicles

Abnormal deployment pressure may lead to rupture of the inflator case. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment potentially causing injury to a vehicle occupant.

Fix: On affected vehicles replace the drivers airbag module.

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant or in a thermal issue in the interior compartment which may lead to fire.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

Recalled models: JAZZ · 31,135 vehicles

The drivers front airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure. If an affected airbag deploys the increased internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture. In the event of an inflator rupture metal fragments could be propelled into the passenger compartment potentially causing injury to a vehicle occupant.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the inflator inside the drivers airbag module with a new one.

Recalled models: JAZZ · 12,723 vehicles

Water and other liquids may enter the driver's side power window switch and may cause damage switch failure overheating and potentially a fire.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles and replace driver's side power window switch.

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant or in a thermal issue in the interior compartment which may lead to fire.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

The left hand front brake pipe may not be fully secure which could lead to the brake pipe chafing on the EGR pipe. If this occurs and remains unseen the damage could result in loss of brake fluid and the attendant loss of braking efficiency.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace and correctly secure the left hand front brake pipe.

In rare circumstances the gear indicator may display neutral when the gearbox is in reverse gear. If this happens the vehicle may reverse unexpectedly and cause an incident.

Fix: Recall vehicles likely to be affected to correct the unit software and inspect the reverse shift holder for deformation. Where necessary the reverse shift piece and shift holder will be replaced.

Due to the layout of the lighting switch wiring harness the low beam headlight circuit can be pulled tighter than other wires. After repeated use of the headlight switch the low beam terminal can become worn and poor electrical continuity may result from an accumulation of copper oxide. In some cases the poor continuity the poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the wiring harness terminal ends to melt. Poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the low beam head lights to become inoperative increasing the risk of accident.

Fix: The dealer will inspect the low beam terminal if the terminal shows signs of melting the lighting switch and low beam terminal harness will be replaced. If the terminal is not melted the low beam terminal harness will be replaced.

The sidewall of the tyre may have been damaged during fitting to steel wheels. If the sidewall is weakened a bulge may be seen prior to the tyre deflating suddenly. If the tyre deflates suddenly control of the vehicle may become difficult.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the four tyres on the standard steel road wheels.

The footbrake pedal is connected to the master cylinder via the brake pedal pin. It is possible that the retaining clip/locking pin that locks the footbrake pedal pin may not have been installed. If this is the case it is possible that the brake pedal pin may become detached. This will result in an increase in pedal travel and a corresponding increase in stopping distance.

Fix: Recall all affected vehicle and check for presence of retaining clip/locking pin. If found to be missing a new clip/pin will be installed.

Water and other liquids may enter the driver's side power window switch and may cause damage switch failure overheating and potentially a fire.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles check switch and wiring if damaged replace and then fit external cover to switch to prevent water ingress.

It has been identified that the handbrake lever ratchet may not latch into position when the handbrake is applied due to the possibility of the internal push rod possibly having suffered damage during assembly. With continued usage the push rod joint can become worn causing the handbrake ratchet mechanism not to latch sufficiently. Should this occur the handbrake will become inoperative.

Fix: Recalled vehicles will have the handbrake mechanism replaced.

The fuel pump relay may fail which will result in either the engine not starting or stalling.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary place the fuel pump relay.
