Yep old VOSA site has some surprises.......
ASTON MARTIN V8 Coupe and Vantage
SECURITY OF SEAT BELT SHOULDER ANCHORAGE
The seat belt "B" pillar anchorage may disengage from it's index plate during a frontal impact.
AUDI A3
FLYWHEEL MAY FAIL FIRE MAY RESULT
The two mass flywheel can become damaged because of a non-optimally designed through-flow restrictor in the clutch pressure pipe. This can lead to a total failure of the flywheel and under unfavourable circumstances to a vehicle fire.
BENTLEY ARNARGE T, R AND RL
WHEEL FIXING BOLTS MAY LOOSEN
Due to the possibility of the road wheels having an incorrect finish, the
potential exists for the wheel fixing bolts to loosen. This defect could lead to the road wheel becoming detached from the hub.
BMW 5,6 AND 7 SERIES
REAR SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the lower rubber mounting on the metal bush of the rear shock absorbers may fail to meet the quality requirement. Dependant on the mileage and operating conditions the rubber mounting may come completely free from the shock absorber. If this occurs the bodywork would no longer be supported above the wheels, causing it to come into contact with the wheel concerned. Should this occur the possibility exists that a critical driving condition might occur or even the risk of an accident.
CITROEN C2.C3,C4
SUSPENSION SPRINGS MAY BREAK
In the exceptional event of a spring breaking there could be a risk of the spring making contact with the vehicle tyre.
FORD MONDEO
POSSIBLE UNEXPECTED BRAKING.
The yaw rate sensor may be out of specification which may lead to unexpected braking.
HONDA Accord
THROTTLE LINKAGE CONCERN
The throttle return spring may be incorrectly positioned and/or the throttle shaft bearing clearance incorrectly set. It is possible after some period of use, wear or distortion of the throttle body will occur. If the throttle body is not replaced, in the worst case, the throttle may stick.
MAZDA MX3
FRONT SUSPENSION COIL SPRING MAY BREAK
Due to poor adhesion of the rustproof coating of the front coil spring, the spring may rust. As a result, the coil spring may break.
MERCEDES BENZ E Class, SL, S Class, C Class
UNINTENTIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG
Exposure to high humidity conditions may result in corrosion that can cause the drivers front air bag to deploy unintentionally.
PEUGEOT PARTNER
FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING MAY BREAK
In countries where salt is used extensively on the roads, the paint sub layer on certain springs produced over a specific manufacturing period shows very little resistance to corrosion. This can in exceptional circumstances cause a front suspension spring to break, with the attendant risk that, the spring could contact the tyre.
RELIANT Robin
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
Poor staking of the steering coupling shaft universal joint bearings can result in inadequate bearing retention. This can lead to excessive steering freeplay, directional instability, and in extreme cases, loss of steering control.
RENAULT Megane II
BRAKE SERVO MAY FAIL
Brake servo may fail resulting in a "hard" brake pedal due to the loss of power assistance.
ROLLS ROYCE Corniche, Bentley Continental R and Bentley Azure
POTENTIAL IGNITION OF FUEL VAPOUR
The potential exists for vented fuel vapour from the leak detection pump to enter a confined body cavity where if it came into contact with an electrical spark, it could, in extreme cases, ignite.
TOYOTA RAV4
FRONT COIL SPRING MAY FRACTURE RESULTING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF TYRE DAMAGE
Due to insufficient surface treatment prior to painting, the paint on the front coil springs may not have adhered properly. This can render the spring susceptible to corrosion in environments where road salt is used. Prolonged use of the vehicle in this condition may cause the spring to fracture, which in extreme cases can lead to tyre damage.
VOLVO CAR 740, 760, 940, 960, 850, S90, V90, S40, S80, S70, V70
DETACHABLE TOW BAR MAY WORK LOOSE
A combination of internal and external forces caused the towball to prematurely detach itself from the towball housing, resulting in separation of the trailer from the drawing unit.
VW PASSAT 2.0 TDI
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
The two mass flywheel can become damaged because of a non- optimally designed through-flow restrictor in the clutch pressure pipe. This can lead to total failure of the two mass flywheel and under unfavourable circumstances a fire.
I'm not the only owner living by the sea and with salt on the roads in fact I have one of the legs still in my garage its a bit bent after argument with a people carrier but no corrosion on the spring seat/cup
