Car Recall Check

Due to an error in the assembly process, the occupant detection system (ODS) of the front passenger seat had not been installed on the seat cushion. As a result, no audible signal sounds and no warning symbol will appear on the instrument panel to warn the driver when the front passenger seat is occupied but the seat belt is not fastened.This may increase the risk of not having the seat belt fastened 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.

Due to a design change introducing an internal chamfer in the rear seat back lock button, the latch actuation rod can catch on this chamfer, preventing its upwards movement.As a result the rear seat back may not be securely latched when returned to its upright position after folding, and the occupant of the rear seat and any items stored in the luggage compartment may not be correctly restrained 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.

Adverse tolerances combined with external force may cause the lower section of the maintenance bonnet to come into contact with the fuel inlet connector on the fuel delivery unit flange. As a result, damage to the fuel inlet connector may occur and lead to fuel leakage, increasing the risk of fire. 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.

The NADI (non-azide driver inflator) type airbag may have improper sealing that could allow moisture to enter into the propellant. If the propellant afterwards dries out, it could lead to decreased density resulting in a too high burn rate. Consequently the airbag may not deploy as designed and provide less protection, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not meet the requirements set out 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

Due to incorrect programming, the electronic control unit (ECU) of the hybrid vehicle may incorrectly determine the position of the transmission selector lever which could cause the hybrid system to shut down.This could result in a loss of power, 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.

The propellant airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high-temperature cycling. In the event of an airbag being deployed, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants. The product does not meet 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.

The screw connection of the push rod between the brake pedal and the brake booster may become detached.As a result, the foot brake pedal would not function, increasing the risk of an accident.

The middle fold-down rear headrest may not be correctly locked into the in-use position.This could impair its protective effect, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
