Technical background It is possible for the engine coolant Thermostat to corrode over time, this corrosion is due to an adverse reaction of the Thermostat material with the engine coolant. The corrosion and subsequent build-up of debris prevents the correct operation of the thermostat when closing, resulting in over cooling. The ECM triggers a DTC when the target engine temperature is outside of the specified parameter.

Rear seatbelt - Incorrect buckle status within the DIP - New Continental GT/C and New Flying Spur.
Read full bulletin
Customer statement: Incorrect rear seatbelt buckle status shown within the DIP Workshop findings Although there is no occupant evident within the rear seats (2nd row) the rear seat is shown as occupied (Figure 1). Technical background: There is no specific DTC evident for the scenario described. The issue described is evident as the rear seat belt buckles are not resistor coded The system uses a non-resistor coded buckle strategy (zero-infinity or open-closed buckle) for the rear seats. In correct operation, a fastened seatbelt is open circuit and an un-fastened seatbelt is closed circuit If harness damage is present or an electrical connector joint is not properly engaged, an unintended open circuit occurs. This will give an incorrect buckle status reading within the DIP The advice within this TPI should be referred to first before conducting any further diagnosis or disassembly of the vehicles interior Previous assembly/disassembly may have caused an unintentional open circuit when operatives have been working on or around the rear seat belt assemblies.

Grease evident at the front lower ball joint bellows.
Read full bulletin
Customer statement / workshop findings: Grease evident on or around the front axle lower ball joint bellows In the event the symptom is as described, the operative should carry out the instructions within the Measure section Technical background: During service work and/or other repairs, a loss of grease can be detected from the front axle lower ball joint on one or both lower ball joint bellows. Measure: Findings performed on supposedly damaged components have shown that they were of good quality, no damage was found to the ball joint bellows which could of resulted in the leak Grease may leak during the initial assembly of the front lower levers. This due to a maximum deflection of the conical spigot before the lower lever is assembled into the wheel carrier. Over the service life, additional foreign bodies can collect in the corresponding area and stick to the excess grease, which can then be distributed over a larger area If there is no customer complaint about noises (rattling, pinching, creaking) from the area of the front axle and the lower levers have clearance, the operative must remove any excess grease and check the ball joint and bellows for damage If the ball joint/bellows is not damaged, the lower lever does not need to be replaced The level of grease on or around the lower ball joint boot/wheel bearing housing (Figures 1,2 and 3) is deemed as a normal characteristic.
