The fuel line can develop a hole and leak fuel.
A stud on the upper shift arm of the engine may corrode when the engine is used in saltwater. This may affect the shift system and cause it to fail, resulting in a loss of shift function.
The controller may malfunction and cause the engine to go into ‘limp mode’ and it will not allow for any gears to be changed, and engine power will be limited.
The air vents of the affected engine cover may allow for fingers to be placed through the air vent gaps.
The disc hub may crack if the trailer it is attached to is overloaded or impacted with force.
A mechanical defect in the ACG Belt may result in the belt coming off and becoming entangled in the timing belt assembly causing the engine to suddenly stop.
The air vents of the affected engine cover may allow for fingers to be placed through the air vent gaps.
A mechanical defect in the actuator link rod in the engine may not allow the boat to shift out of forward gear.
Due to a fault in the product, the O-ring seal may not seal effectively and allow fuel to escape from the filter.
The product may have a faulty steering sensor. If the sensor fails the engine will enter ‘guardian mode’ which reduces the engine’s power output and may reduce the steering capability of the vessel.
The steering cable clamp block can release under normal use resulting in loss of steering.
Affected throttles have an elevated risk of intermittent failure which can result in an incorrect electrical signal out of the throttle assembly.
The thread ring for the connector between the fuel canister and the collection water bowl may be faulty. If the thread ring is faulty, it may not allow the water collection bowl to be properly attached to the fuel canister, which could cause a fuel leak
The retaining nut that is designed to prevent the boat’s steering cable from detaching from the boat’s engine may fail.
A defect in the product’s software could result in the boat being steered off course from the intended route.
The retaining nut that is designed to prevent the boat’s steering cable from detaching from the boat’s rudder block may fail.
In certain circumstances, internal components of the amplifier may fail during use, generating excessive heat, smoke and/or a flame.
The paddle can suddenly break mid-shaft during use, exposing sharp edges.
The passenger seat may unlatch from the watercraft.
When the ignition key is turned to the “on” position, a spark may occur across the spark plug(s). On certain models, (VF200LB and VF200XB) a spark may also occur across the spark plug(s) if the power trim and tilt switch is activated with the ignition key in the “off” position.
The tabs of the Audio Portable System may break and cause the Audio Portable System to dislodge from its mount.
The fuel filler neck can be pushed into the hull if the refuelling nozzle is inserted with too much force. This may prevent sealing between the filler cap and filler neck and allow fuel to leak from the filler neck.
The O-ring in the product's wiring terminals is damaged and may leak fuel.
The engines may have been fitted with an Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) that is out of specification. An out of specification IAC may prevent the engine from returning to a slow idle speed after the engine has been run at a higher speed, meaning the engine speed may remain much higher than normal.
A poorly-installed sensor in the shut-off switch assembly may allow water to seep inside the sensor (switch housing) and become corroded, causing an intermittent connection.
The fuel filter may not be adequately sealed and may leak fuel.
The water rail connectors fitting may fail, resulting in water leaks. If the water rail connectors fail, a significant amount of water could be discharged into the boat and this could disable the engine.
Smoke may vent from both the top and the bottom of the product, instead of venting just from the top, causing the handle of the product to become hot.
Due to a manufacturing fault, the clamp that holds the throttle shaft in place on the tiller handle may be missing.
The upper mounting bolts used on the Auto-Set Wedge bracket may contact the fuel tank, potentially damaging the tank and leading to a fuel leak.
The intake grate may detach from the vehicle whilst in use.
The pulley may release suddenly during use, resulting in loss of control of person being towed and potential for rope to come into contact with the propeller.
Possibility of a crack in the fuel supply module in some engines, may result in a fuel leak.
The valve may contain a hole, which may allow fuel to leak.
Due to a production error, the grommets may be faulty and allow fuel to leak.
A defect in the operating software of the joystick could result in the steering helm sensor providing the Vessel's control system with an incorrect reading, and may lead to unintended steering of the vessel.
It is possible for water to leak into the shift actuator. Such water leakage could cause internal corrosion and wire damage, eventually causing the engine to go into Guardian-forced idle, losing shift control (engine remains in its last gear position), or the engine may not restart.
A faulty weld has been identified on one trailer. If a trailer has a faulty weld, the drawbar could break.
The bow section of the fibreglass hull structure may show signs of gelcoat crazing below the cabin area of the vessel. This may weaken over time to a point where the fibreglass structure could crack.
There are two types of pulleys in the power-assisted steering pump. The pulley may be solid or have "windows" (spaces) in the pulleys. Only steering pumps with solid pulleys are affected by this recall. The solid pulley may contain contaminants, which can overheat during pulley use, potentially leading to a fire.
The oil line sealer washers may fail prematurely. The turbocharger load distribution ring may fail prematurely.
In some circumstances water entry into the boat's fuel tank may occur via the breather holes.
Due to a manufacturing defect with the vapour separator internal float assembly, affected outboard motors may experience fuel loss from the vapour separator air vent tube.
The nuts on the gearcase and the exhaust housing extension (if applicable), may become loose, allowing the gearcase assembly to detach from the outboard engine.
Steering head screws may not have been torqued correctly during manufacture.
The bush at the end of the throttle control lever may not have been installed properly at the factory. This may cause the bush to come loose and possibly catch on the accelerator cam guide.
Due to a loose or intermittent ground wire connection of the iST gearshift actuator, the position sensor may not recognise the true NEUTRAL position.
The existing stainless steel washers that are used at the connection of the oil supply line to the turbocharger can allow the oil supply line to become loose. If this occurs, it is possible for engine oil to leak onto hot engine components.
