Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/01072/22
A coding of a control unit may not match the individual vehicle equipment so that the affected control units may malfunction. As a result, some functions of the electronic stability program control unit may not be fully available, thus changing the braking and control behavior, 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.
