A12/00137/21Safety recallInjuriesno date · EU Safety Gate

A fixing bracket on the curtain airbag module between the gas generator and the airbag may not be installed correctly. In the event of the airbag being deployed as part of a possible accident event, the airbag would not be filled correctly. As a result, it would not be possible to ensure a sufficient restraining effect for the user, increasing the risk of injuries.

A12/00541/22Safety recallBurns, Fireno date · EU Safety Gate

Design engine covers installed on all affected vehicles could detach from their fixings depending on the conditions of use (e.g. very sporty driving, or poor road surfaces) and their age. A loose engine cover could come into contact with the hot area of the exhaust gas turbocharger, increasing the risk of burns or 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.

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
