Periodic inspection of HVAC water shield covering. It has been reported that the water shield covering (intended to protect the air conditioning/heater resistor module from water contamination) can develop cracks and tears in its material. Cracks and tears can appear where the covering is stretched or has tight folds and can be caused by factors such as age, climate and heat cycling conditions. If certain areas of the water shield become cracked and torn, then this can allow water ingress into the air conditioning sensor and resistor module, resulting in their failure. ACTION It is recommended to visually inspect the condition of the water shield cover during routine servicing (or if the front access panel is raised for any reason). All Emira service schedule sheets will be updated in the near future to include this as an annual inspection (or by mileage) to coincide with either a brake fluid check or replacement. Inspect the cover for perforations or tears (taking special attention in

TITLE - Carconfig update on EmiraDS. REASON - A new Carconfig file is available on EmiraDS to support any future ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software upgrades. Because the Carconfig is a common file shared across all ECU software packages, the “New Software Available” notification will be displayed on multiple ECUs, (except for CPC, EIS, EMS, FSCM, and TCM 2L ECUs). Important - This does not necessarily indicate that a specific upgrade is required for each ECU listed, but if a software notification is also available for the DDM (Driver Door Module), upgrading the DDM first will clear the notification for all other ECUs that do not have individually applicable upgrades. ACTION - If a vehicle connected to EmiraDS is displaying the “New Software Available” notification across multiple ECUs, then check to see if software notification is also available for the DDM. Upgrade the DDM first and then check to see if the “New Software Available” notification on other ECU’s has now been deleted.

TITLE Availability of Emira service replacement lower front wishbone ball joint dust covers. REASON An unfinished rough edge, on the steering knuckle assemblies (hub carriers), can, under full suspension/steering movement, contact the lower wishbone ball joint dust cover, resulting in premature wear or damage to the dust cover. Service level dust covers are now available which prevent the replacement of complete front lower wishbones assemblies and associated labour times for suspension/steering alignment procedures because of split or damaged ball joint dust covers. ACTION If damage to the ball joint dust cover as shown above is seen during an underbody inspection (such as routine servicing etc), but the ball joint is still in a serviceable condition, then the rough edge of the steering knuckle casting should be smoothed and the ball joint dust cover replaced.
