| LI15.30-N-078528 | 2024-12-04. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Engine does not start with fault code P30083C in MRD1 (CDI): Complaint: The engine is not cranking over, and the fuse F152/F31 (25A) has blown. Cause: - The diagram below illustrates that if there is a problem with either the 'Dip limiter contact' or the 'Starter solenoid contact' closing, the starter will fail to crank the engine. - When the engine start button (S2/2) is pressed continuously, the starter solenoid's 'Pulling coil' will remain activated until the engine ECU deactivates the starter solenoid relay (F152/kC). This should occur within a maximum of 60 seconds. - Due to the continuous high current draw from the starter solenoid's pulling coil, the 25A fuse (F152/f31) may blow. Remedy: 1. We recommend replacing the 25A fuse with a 30A fuse for F152/F31. 2. Do not press the engine start button (S2/2) continuously, as this may cause the starter solenoid coil to overheat and become permanently damaged. 3. If the engine does not crank or start, please advise the customer to refer to the procedure outlined in the owner's manual. 4. If the engine does not crank or start, instruct the customer to avoid pressing the engine start button (S2/2) continuously or frequently. |

| LI14.30-N-075882 | 2024-11-05. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Complaint Check engine warning light active. Fault code P300CA8 or P300CA9 "Hot film mass air flow sensor malfunction" present in engine control unit. Cause These faults can be set if: 1. A leakage upstream of the exhaust gas turbocharger causing a to high EGR rate. 2. Carbonized parts, e.g., the intake module, housing intermediate flange on high-pressure EGR valve (assembly of exhaust pressure sensor P3) or the intake ports also let through too little air. 3. The air filter has been highly soiled, incorrectly positioned or has a deformation. |
| LI08.10-N-078545 | 2024-11-05. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN. Complaint: Noises when reversing slowly <5 km/h (squeaking) Cause: There is a seal in the electric drivetrain that seals off the coolant system from the electric motor. This seal is moistened with coolant during forward travel. As a result of the change in rotational direction when reversing slowly, it may be the case that this sealing ring is no longer moistened. Squeaking noises may occur as a result of the so-called "stick-slip effect". This behavior does not impact the function or durability of the sealing ring and electric drivetrain. Remedy: Do not replace any parts. Explain the cause of the noises to the customer. |
