Car Recall Check

The inflater of the driver's airbag may burst when the airbag is activated if it has been exposed to high humidity over a number of years. If the inflater bursts, metal parts may be expelled and cause serious or fatal injuries.

The child safety lock mechanism on the rear doors may be unintentionally deactivated due to divergent tolerances of the moving parts in the Soft Close Automatic (SCA) door lock.

An unreliable internal contact in the fuel filter heater can lead to the fuel filter heater being permanently activated, even when the vehicle is stationary. In a few isolated cases, the fuel filter heater may as a result become overheated.

The product poses a risk of injuries as there may be a sudden loss of power steering which could lead to a traffic accident.

The dashboard in the affected vehicles may not have been manufactured to the manufacturer specifications. In the event of anaccident, the passenger side airbag may not deploy as intended which could increase the risk of injury to the frontpassenger. 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 integrated braking system could be compromised, which could lead to an unexpected failure of the hydraulic braking assistance, thereby requiring greater pressure on the brake pedal. This can result in a longer braking distance, as well as failure of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), 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 inadequate screwing the high-pressure pump could become detached and fuel may leak out. This could lead to engine failure and to increased risk of the vehicle catching fire.

The nuts on the left-hand side wheels may not have been tightened in accordance with the specifications. This may cause a wheel to detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.

The press-in force of the counterbalance shaft’s bearing shells may not have met the specifications, which could cause the counterbalance shaft to become loose. As a result, the engine could be damaged and locked in motion, increasing the risk of an accident.

The inner liner of the tyres may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. This could cause a sudden loss of pressure while driving and thus a failure of the tyre, increasing the risk of an accident.

A short circuit in the high-voltage battery could occur during initial charging due to a particle in the form of a welding bead. This may trigger a chain reaction in the battery, increasing the risk of fire.
