Car Recall Check

Severe corrosion may lead to a leakage of the brake booster, thus reducing the braking force, leading to an increase in brake pedal force required to decelerate the vehicle, resulting in a possible increase in stopping distance. Moreover, due to severe corrosion, a particularly strong or severe braking manoeuvre may cause mechanical damage to the brake booster, preventing the vehicle from decelerating through the service brake and thus increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

An erroneous notch in the impact absorber may lead to failure of the tube sensor for the actuation of the active hood. In case of an accident, the active hood for pedestrian protection might be lifted too late or not at all, increasing the risk of injury to the pedestrian involved.

The bolt for the 48V ground connection under the passenger seat may have been secured with insufficient torque. As a result, the electrical resistance of the connection could increase and the temperature may therefore rise in this area, posing a risk of fire.

Improper welding on the rear axle can cause the thrust rod to come loose from the rear axle bracket. This may cause the vehicle to swerve in response to the road surface or the vehicle may skid sideways during emergency braking. This leads to loss of control over the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.

The polycarbonate panel located between the windscreen and the panoramic sunroof may not have been bonded correctly to the vehicle. As a result, it can become detached from the vehicle and fall onto the road, potentially causing an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The wiring harness of the generator may have been erroneously swapped with the wiring harness of the electric steering during assembly. Consequently the steering wiring harness would be secured with the generator fuse (fused too high), and the generator wiring harness with the steering fuse (fused too low). In the event of an additional electrical fault (e.g. damage to the steering wiring harness) the mix-up of the two differently fused wiring harnesses could lead to the steering wiring harness becoming overloaded, increasing the risk of fire.
