A high-pressure fuel injector can crack, resulting in fuel accumulating in the engine. If this fuel, whether it's liquid or vapour, is near a hot surface, it can catch fire. This can lead to a fire, injuries. 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 clutch pressure plate may break. This may result in reduced vehicle performance.

The airbag inflator may be defective which may prevent the side airbag(s) and/or knee airbag deploying in the event of an accident.

In the event of a vehicle impact which deploys the front seat belt pre-tensioner, insulation material in the internal door pillar trim could ignite during the activation of the gas generator and the winding up of the seat belt.

The heated washer jets fitted to some vehicles may have elements which are not correctly sealed. The poor sealing could lead to corrosion due to water ingress and subsequent overheating of the jets which could lead to a fire.

The heated washer jets may have jet heating elements which are not correctly sealed. There is a possibility that poor sealing could lead to corrosion due to water ingress and subsequent overheating of the jets which could lead to a fire.

The cooling airflow is insufficient, causing the oil channel to be blocked. This leads the connecting rod bearing to seize and the connecting rod to tear off. This can deteriorate the combustion engine, resulting in a rupture in the engine oil tank or engine block, creating an oil tank leak. This increases the risk of fire under the bonnet. 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.

A piston rod may rupture the engine block and cause an oil leakage. The leaking oil can stay trapped in the lower engine guard and cause a fire due to its proximity to the catalytic converter of the exhaust system. 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 engine control unit does not correctly detect overheating, which can allow the engine to overheat, leading to a leak of engine oil. Leaking oil can drop onto the road and create a risk of injuries to other road traffic participants. 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 steering wheel may no longer return to the middle position due to a loosened pin in the steering box that can cause the pinion shaft to come loose from the steering rack casing. This could lead to a loss of steering, 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 clutch pressure plate may break while the vehicle is in motion. This may lead to a malfunction of the transmission and to increased risk of the engine catching fire.

The Fuel Operated Heater (FOH), could switch itself on when not programmed to do so by the driver. If this happens in a closed space, such as a garage, it could result in personal injury or death.
