Car Recall Check

Parts of the airbag inflator may become detached when the head airbag is deployed. This could cause injuries to the vehicle 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.

Cracks may develop in the rear axle transmission housing, which could lead to transmission oil leaking onto the road, posing a risk to the following traffic. Moreover, subsequent fracturing of the housing could lead to an interruption of the power transmission on the rear axle, causing a loss of wheel guidance and propulsion without warning, 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 software for the communication of immobilisation data between the MCU (Motor Control Unit) and the BCM (Body Control Module) could be defective. As a result, from a stationary position on a slope, the vehicle could move in the opposite direction until the driver uses the brakes and stops the vehicle. This increases 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.

Following a software problem with the powertrain control module (PCM), it is possible that the internal combustion engine will not start at the right time when the vehicle is in motion and operating in electric vehicle (EV) mode only. When the EV system is no longer capable of propelling the vehicle, the vehicle slows down unexpectedly and it is impossible to drive it, thus 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 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 vehicle may have been equipped with an incorrect driver airbag during servicing to retrofit an alternative steering wheel. Airbags that are not adapted to the vehicle configuration can lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.

A fastening clip on the windscreen pillar trim could be rotated by 180°. As a result, when the curtain airbag is deployed, the trim on the windscreen pillar could become detached, injuring the vehicle 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 screw connection of the servo unit on the gear rack casing of the steering system may be faulty. This could cause the steering system to fail and become blocked, 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.
