| 2063926/2 | 2021-11-05. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE. Technical background: The right and left hand convertible header flaps are operated by individual cords. A small batch of header flap cords were manufactured out of specification (to short). During operation, the out of specification cords pull against the eyelet, this can result in damaged/broken eyelets the cord then becomes detached from the flap, resulting in a clash condition between the flap and the top of the header trim panel. Remedy The right and left hand header trim eyelets require checking for any signs of damage/wear as described in Section 1 of the Work section. NOTE: Should no signs of damage/wear be found on the right and left hand eyelets, only the right and left hand cords should be replaced as described in Section 1. However, in the event that wear/damage is evident, the right and left hand header flaps must be replaced as described in Section 2. Please note: The right and left hand header flap kits contain all of the required parts. Customer notification Customers do not need to be informed directly of this campaign. Please ensure that all affected vehicles are checked and repaired at the nearest opportunity or during a service visit. You should also inform your new and used car sales departments so that the vehicles affected can be checked and, if necessary, repaired immediately (not just before sale). |

| 2052092/5 | 2021-10-05. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE; LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. New Continental GT - Door soft close functionality. Customer statement / workshop findings Correct functionality and restrictions of the door soft close system need to be understood to prevent unnecessary customer complaints. Correct operation/function restrictions: The soft close feature is designed to minimalize effort when closing the door. This feature operates automatically. If a door is closed with insufficient force to engage fully, i.e. the door is only closed to the first catch position, the feature will automatically motor the door fully closed. Soft close operation works as per any other motor system. If you work or stress the motor whilst mid-operation the motor could stop working until it is reset (i.e. if you shut the door and re-open it before the soft close has fully engaged into position). If the door is operated over 40 times in less than 10 minutes, soft close operation will be deactivated for the next 10 minutes. If the soft close system does stop functioning through customer misuse, there may be a DTC code stored in the memory, the fault will be active until the ignition is cycled. The DTC will be logged in the relevant door control module memory but will not inhibit the door operation and can be ignored. The DTC will read B122D29: Lock unit for central locking, Implausible signal. |
