Car Recall Check

The software-based overload protection function cannot sufficiently prevent the starter being overloaded in the event of repeated long start-up attempts. The starter may overheat or sparks may be produced as a result of an increased current flow. This increases the risk of a fire. 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 screw fitting used to attach the front left-hand seat and/or safety belt may not have been tightened with the correct torque. This could affect the attachment of the seat and/or safety belt, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

The dashboard in the affected vehicles may not have been manufactured to the manufacturer specifications. In the event of anaccident, the passenger side airbag may not deploy as intended which could increase the risk of injury to the frontpassenger. 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 integrated braking system could be compromised, which could lead to an unexpected failure of the hydraulic braking assistance, thereby requiring greater pressure on the brake pedal. This can result in a longer braking distance, as well as failure of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), increasing the risk of 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 head airbags may be incorrectly installed. This may result in insufficient deployment of the airbags in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injuries.

Due to inadequate screwing the high-pressure pump could become detached and fuel may leak out. This could lead to engine failure and to increased risk of the vehicle catching fire.

The nuts on the left-hand side wheels may not have been tightened in accordance with the specifications. This may cause a wheel to detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.

Due to defective welding, the push bars on the front axle beam may become detached.Moreover, a failure of the welding quality may result in a crack of the bearing bracket. This could lead to loss of wheel control, increasing the risk of an accident.

The steering spindle may not have been properly bolted and could become detached.As a result the steering control would be lost, increasing the risk of an accident.

Defective hydraulic unit of the braking system may cause a limited braking support and increased braking distance. Moreover, in such cases the ABS system would not be available. This will lead to increased risk of an accident.

Due to a faulty installation of the compression springs of the lock in the third seat row, the backrest may not be fully locked. This could lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of 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 gas generator in knee airbag modules was not properly inserted into the air cushion, resulting in the cushion failing to unfold sufficiently. As a result, it may not be able to deploy correctly in the event of an accident, leading to a reduction in the restraint effect, increasing the risk of injury to the occupants. 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.
