A bolt on the 12 Volt earthing cable under the driver’s seat may become loose, leading to increased electrical contact resistance in that area. The strong electrical currents flowing through that point could cause a local increase in temperature, leading to fire. Moreover, the increase in contact resistance may also deactivate the ECO start/stop function, leading to increased exhaust emissions. 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 rear left blinker may fail to function when activated. This could prevent the driver from signalling his intentions to surrounding traffic, 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.

A defective pipe within the low-pressure fuel pipeassembly may become disconnected during the engine start process, causing in a fuel leak.As the connections are close to high-temperature engine components, leaking fuel could increase 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.

The steering system may lack adequate corrosion protection and could severely corrode over time. As a result, the housing of the steering system may develop cracks or suffer material damage. This could lead to a loss of gear mesh between the rack and pinion, potentially resulting in a failure of the steering function, 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 thermal protection between the brake force booster and the emissions control device in front of the coupling support with the brake fluid reservoir may not have been correctly fitted. The coupling support could melt, leading to a leak of brake fluid, which could ignite if it comes into contact with hot components. 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.

Due to a manufacturing error, the weld seam of the integrated transmission control unit (ITCU) may not have been correctly executed. As a result, transmission oil could leak into the ITCU, causing it to fail. This may lead to transmission seizure, 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 side airbag on the front left may have been installed incorrectly during the manufacturing process. In the event of an accident, this could reduce the protective effect of the side airbag, increasing the risk of injury.
