Recall of the product from end users
A12/01363/22
Improperly tightened diesel particulate filter mounting frame fittings may lead to loosening or detachment of the fittings, which will cause stress to the exhaust joints and, over time, increase the possibility of unmeasured exhaust gas leaks. In the event of an exhaust leak, hot exhaust gases can leak under the vehicle or under the engine compartment, which can damage engine components increasing the risk of a 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.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/01514/22
The front collision sensors may not have been fitted correctly. This can cause the safety belt restraint system to malfunction, leading to serious injuries to the occupants. In the event of an accidental deployment of the front airbag, control of the vehicle may be lost, creating a 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 engines may become blocked, which can cause external oil leakage or oil transfer into the air intake system, creating a 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.
Recall of the product from end users

Recall of the product from end users
A12/0185/19
The crankshaft pulley retaining bolt may fracture. As a consequence, the crankshaft nose could break leading to engine power loss and the potential for engine failure. Furthermore, the loose pulley could damage under bonnet components or puncture the bonnet and become a hazard to pedestrians or other road users.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/0193/19
Due to a faulty software, the directional indicators may fail to operate when the steering column mounted control stalks are used and the driver does not receive visual or audible warnings if this occurs. As a consequence, there is an increased risk of a crash.
