Recalls
Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/0569/15
A fault in the gas generator of the front passenger airbag can cause uncontrolled inflation when the airbag is activated. Because the ignition pressure is too high, it can damage the airbag housing and cause injury.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/0879/16
The sensor of the rear oxygen sensor might fail and does not set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in case of inappropriate content of the exhaust gases. In such cases, the user is not warned through the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on the dashboard.

There is a defect in the gas generator of the passenger airbag. In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, metal fragments can be released which can cause injury to the occupants.
Recall of the product from end users
SR/01993/26
The lithium-ion battery controller (LBC) may not provide reliable diagnostic results due to parasitic effects or fluctuations in circuit resistance, which can cause the integrated circuits monitoring the battery cell voltage to incorrectly detect anomalies. As a result, the system may switch to fail-safe mode while the vehicle is being driven, limiting engine power and preventing charging. If regenerative charging occurs, the fail-safe mode may turn off the main relay, causing a loss of engine power and a loss of propulsion while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of accidents. 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.
