In the event of an ignition misfire, unburned fuel can be routed into the exhaust system, which can cause high exhaust temperatures that may pose a fire hazard.
The routing of the starter motor cable may be incorrect, causing cable chafing, arcing and short circuit. This may result in the vehicle stalling, melting of the starter motor cable sheathing and surrounding parts and in extreme circumstances an under-bonnet fire.
The clutch pressure plate bearing may break when the clutch is operated frequently due to insufficient load rating of the bearing. As a consequence, the clutch may fail to operate and the transmission will not shift properly. There is a possibility that engine oil pressure may not regulate properly due to an improper design of the oil relief valve in the oil pump. As a consequence, the resin gear may break which could result in engine damage due to lack of oil supply.
In the event of a car crash involving strong forces the end mount of the rear right seat belt may fail because of incorrectly fixed bolts. This would increase the potential risk of injury to passengers.
In the affected vehicles, the mechanical rear-door child-proof locking system may have been damaged during manufacturing. This can cause the child-proof locking system to be switched off without this being noticed, especially in the event of strong vibrations, making it possible for the door to be opened from the inside by children.
The motorcycles may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch after being parked for an extended period. If this condition remains undetected, it could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle when it is either started in gear or when it is first put into gear.
An incorrect cover has been fitted at the bottom of the engine compartment. If it comes into contact with the exhaust system decoupling element, the cover may catch fire.
The plastic filter of the vehicle stability assist (VSA) /anti-lock braking modulator may be misaligned and a small piece of broken filter might enter the modulator. As a result, the vehicle stability system may not be able to control the vehicle as intended.
