A plug has not been correctly fitted into the fuse holder of the central electrics which can cause failure of the engine, the power steering and the power assisted brakes. Failure of a number of electronic components, such as the multipurpose display and the lighting equipment also occurs.
In the event of an accident, due to insufficient wall strength of the seat console, the seat console can suffer mechanical failure and the seat could detach.
In the concerned vehicles, preliminary damage can be caused to the tyres through intensive use. Consequently an abrupt loss of air or even a blowout caused by the tyre heating up after long transportation drives on motorway/express roads and at high speeds cannot be excluded. An abrupt loss of air or a tyre blowout could impair the road behaviour of the vehicle and its driving stability.
An unfavourable flange angle on the rear axles may result in an unauthorized rake angle on the drive shaft for the first and second rear axles. As a result, the mounting bush or journal cross may come loose from its mounting, and fragments of the drive shaft may leave the area surrounding the vehicle.
A function impairment of the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) control unit may occur. This could result in the deactivation of the SRS system.
Incorrect software was installed in the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) control device of the vehicles affected.
The fuel delivery module may not be fuel tight, as a result of which fuel might leak out during travel or if the vehicle is parked at an angle, depending on how full the tank is. A risk of fire caused by an external ignition source may consequently arise.
Cracks may form in the high-pressure fuel pipes leading to a fuel leak and a vehicle fire.
