The driver's seat belt passes only through the rubber sleeve at the anchorage point and not through the metal anchor loop. In the event of a accident, it could not correctly restrain the driver, increasing the risk of 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.
A defective valve assembly may lead to noises, a loss of power and/or propulsion failures (damage to the engine). Further damage may lead to an oil leak. This may lead to accidents and 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.
An insufficiently screwed-on brake caliper bracket can lead to brake failure. The brake caliper may become detached from the axle due to insufficient tightening torque of the rear brake caliper mounting screws. This could lead to damage to or breakage of the brake hose, resulting in a sudden leak of brake fluid and reduced braking performance. The low brake fluid level warning indicator lights up, accompanied by a corresponding indication in the instrument cluster. This may lead to accidents. 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.
There may be a loss of power brake assistance, increased pedal travel and extended braking distance leading to a risk of accidents and 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 chemical substances in the inflators of the TAKATA NADI airbags may deteriorate over time, particularly in warm, humid climates. This could cause the airbag to rupture with too much force in the event of an accident, which could lead to serious or even fatal injuries in the worst-case scenario. 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 drive shaft may become detached from the transmission. This can result in a loss of drive power and loss of the transmission's "park" 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.
Due to a faulty installation, the shaft may fail and break in or near the transfer box. This could cause damage to the adjacent undercarriage system, 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 power child-lock can disengage allowing the rear occupant to open the door from inside although the child lock has beenactuated. This creates a risk of injuries for the occupant. 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 nuts connecting the high-pressure lines between the fuel pump and the injector nozzles may not have been correctly tightened. Over time, they could become detached, leading to a fuel leak. Consequently, leaking diesel could come into contact with the exhaust manifold, the turbocharger, or the catalyst, thereby 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.
