Recalls
Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/01786/24
The braking system may have been contaminated with mineral oil. This can lead to the swelling of rubber components in the braking system (hydraulic seals, brake hoses, etc.) causing the braking system to lack hydraulic pressure. This can result in longer brake pedal travel and reduced braking performance, increasing the 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.
