Ineos recalls

[rovie]

I have created this thread where we can post all Ineos recalls. Probably not all vehicles are affected. This way we have a good overview of all Ineos replacement actions.

@Stu_Barnes , if you think this topic fits better somewhere else, feel free to move it.

Besides the software update, which is planned for the end of August, there will be a recall for the replacement of the gearbox. The affected Grenadier owners will be informed via the dealers.

I think it’s important enough for it’s own section entirely in the technical area. I’ll put something together later today.

Recalls and TSB’s (technical service bulletins, as the green oval call them)

@rovie do you have any documentation regarding the recall/s?

 

[DCPU]

I like the way you drop that in nonchalantly "replacement of the gearbox" .

You're not talking about the transfer case are you?

Not forgetting there's been at least two or three already posted but "lost" in other threads:

@Stu_Barnes, no I have only received this information verbally in advance.

Some vehicles have already had transfer cases replaced before delivery. Initially, it was said that the transmissions of the delivered vehicles had been tested and were OK. Now, however, a replacement seems to be necessary. I assume that it is the transfer case. However, the statement was not specified. As soon as I have more information, I'll get back to you.

I was told my transfer case needs replacing and indeed a replacement is currently sat at the Agent waiting for me, apparently it was tested as part of the PDI and passed ok but Ineos are not happy with the tolerances so have sent a replacement. I asked if it's urgent, they said not, so I decided to wait until it goes in for the SW (whenever that might be

So far I've done over 3000 miles including some off roading in low range - all seems fine so far

Yes, there is probably no urgency. The dealers should probably do it as part of the first service.

Must be transfer case, which we already knew about. I can’t imagine it is the ZF transmission, if it was that then I imagine it would be impacting thousands of vehicles from multiple brands.

Missing storage box under rear seats.

I have so many problem that I don't remember either , but non involving safety:

• water leak at Safari Roofs (I am not the only one)
• airco leak in low pressure pipe
• door knobs get stuck (I am not the only one - although this one could be seen as a safety problem, my wife once didn't notice, I begun to drive and the door flew open )

My dealer said they have spare transfer cases in stock to replace them when needed.

Jean, your door handles (the entire assembly piece) need replacement with NEW. The drilled holes for finger press and all are shoddy workmaship at best. I saw your photos, I would be PEEVED if they gave me handles in that condition!!! My toddler daughter can draw better round circles than that!

Missing storage box under rear seats.

Was the missing storage box under rear seats only related to vehicles with high output roof panel?

Didn't know there was anything missing?

I think it was only for vehicles that did not have the auxiliary battery fitted ~ one impinges on the other & obviously 5 seat models not 2 seat ones.

There will be a recall regarding the door seals. So that water no longer collects in the door frame. It is not yet clear when this will take place, as no new seals are currently available from INEOS.

 

[rovie]

There is also a recall on door handles. Some of the buttons get stuck when they are pressed in. This means that the locks no longer close. Rubber washers will probably be inserted so that the buttons can no longer be pressed in so deeply. I'm skeptical, because they sometimes get stuck even when pressed in lightly. Not all vehicles are being recalled either.

My right rear door button kept getting stuck in. I resolved the issue with silicone spray.
