Car Recall Check

During its deployment, the passenger airbag may tear due to the facial airbag deployment door panel not being sufficiently weakened. A torn airbag may reduce the occupant protection, increase risk of injuries in the event of an accident.Moreover, a torn airbag could release hot gases, causing burns to 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.

The plastic used for the oil filter housing in some petrol and diesel engines can crack over time. This can cause oil leaks onto the engine and road. Leaked oil can ignite upon contact with hot engine parts, increasing the risk of a fire. Moreover, it can also create slippery sections, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries especially for two-wheeled vehicles. 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.

Thermal overload can occur in the high voltage battery, creating a risk of fire and injury. 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 reversing lamps may fail. This would mean that other road users would not be warned when the vehicle is reversing, which could lead to an accident.

Due to a problem with the front brake flexi hose brackets, the brake flexi-hoses may come into contact with the front tyres, leading to chafing and ultimately a loss of brake fluid. This could result in reduced braking performance and could compromise vehicle stability.

An incorrect rear driveshaft may have been fitted. This could potentially lead to the driveshaft detaching, in which case the vehicle would lose drive, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The routing of the starter motor cable may be incorrect, causing cable chafing, arcing and short circuit. This may result in the vehicle stalling, melting of the starter motor cable sheathing and surrounding parts and in extreme circumstances an under-bonnet fire.

Due to short circuits in the battery cells, the high-voltage battery may overheat if it reaches 85% of charge, increasing the risk of 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.

Thermal overload can occur in the high voltage (HV) battery, creating a risk of fire and injury. 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.

In the event of a failure of the electrical regenerative braking system, the friction braking system may not engage on adequate time. As a result the stopping distance may be unexpectedly extended, increasing the risk of an accident.

One or more of the fasteners on the right-hand front seat frame assembly may be missing or incorrectly assembled.As a result, the seat will not have sufficient structural integrity, increasing the risk of an injury in the event of an accident.

An incorrect wiring harness configuration to the restraints control module (RCM) links the wrong seat belt buckle.As a result, the driver's seat belt pre-tensioner may not operate in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injury. 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.
