Car Recall Check

The welding of the brake pedal plate to the brake pedal lever may not be sufficiently strong. Applying pressure on the left side of the brake pedal might cause the pedal plate to tilt sideways from the pedal lever. This would impair the operation of the brake pedal, increasing the risk of an accident.

Due to manufacturing according to wrong specifications, there might be inclusions or cracks in the camber strut connection of the right-hand wheel carrier on the rear axle. Consequently, under specific stresses the wheel carrier could break at the camber strut connection, affecting the wheel control and vehicle stability, increasing the risk of accidents.

The belt anchor fittings for the front seats may not have been attached in accordance with the specifications. As a result, the anchor fittings could be detached in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of an injury to the occupants.

A weld on the seat-height adjustment system of the left-hand front seat may be defective and can break, causing the seat cushion to tilt forward in the event of a crash. As a result, the protective effect of the restraint system will be impaired, increasing the risk of an injury.

The glass pane on the lifting/sliding panorama roof may not have been properly affixed. As a result, it may become completely detached, posing a risk to the following traffic.

The condensed water drainage hose of the air-conditioning system may not be properly fitted. In such a case condensed water from the air conditioning system could enter the passenger compartment of the vehicle, ending up in the footwells of the driver and passenger side and in the central tunnel. As a result, any electrical components installed there could be corroded and/or subjected to short circuits or leakage currents. As a consequence, the SRS control unit could stop working, the vehicle may fail to start, the engine emergency run could be activated while driving, and the functioning of other components (e.g. the fuel pump, automatic/manual emergency call) could be adversely affected.

The air-conditioning system's condensed-water drainage hose may be blocked, which may cause water to enter into the vehicle's interior. Consequently, any electrical components installed there could be corroded and/or subjected to short circuits or leakage currents. As a result, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) control unit could stop working, the vehicle may fail to start, the engine emergency run could be activated while the vehicle is in motion, and the functioning of other components (e.g. the fuel pump, automatic/manual emergency call) could be adversely affected. This would increase the risk of injury and accident.

The corrosion protection on the high voltage battery housing cannot be guaranteed to last for the whole lifetime of the vehicle. After the vehicle has been in use for a longer period of time, the high voltage battery housing could therefore corrode under certain specific environmental conditions. In this case, the sealing effect of the battery housing could then gradually be compromised, allowing moisture to penetrate the battery. This could lead to insulation failure, resulting in it being impossible to restart the vehicle once the engine has been switched off. Furthermore, this could increase 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 fitted tyres may not meet the load requirements and could be damaged while the vehicle is being driven. This could cause an accident 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.
