Due to manufacturing defect, the support wire grid between the inner and outer layers of the fuel injector rubber return pipe may not provide sufficient support, which may cause the pipe to bend and break over time. As a result, fuel could leak into the cold side of the motor compartment and onto the road surface, posing a risk to the following traffic. 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 Restraints Control Module harness connector has the passenger side pre-tensioner wired to the driver’s side connection and driver’s side pre-tensioner to the passenger side connection. In this condition, in the event of an accident where the pre-tensioner system would deploy and the passenger seat is unoccupied, the driver’s seat belt pre-tensioner will not deploy. As a result, the driver will not be restrained as intended and the risk of injury to the driver may be increased.
