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.

Due to an incorrectly locked connector, some electrical systems, e.g. air bags or dipped headlights, may not operate correctly.

Due to insufficient paint adhesion, the window panels and any lashing rails in the load compartment may detach in the event of an accident.

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.

Water infiltration in the battery compartment (spare wheel recess) may cause a short circuit between the terminals of the high-voltage battery cells resulting in thermal destruction of the battery.

The fixing bolts for the backrest on the second row of seats may break in the event of heavy braking or a collision. The occupants would consequently not be protected properly.

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.

A cut-out in the vehicle floor may be missing meaning that the tail pipe of the warm-air auxiliary heating has not been fitted correctly. Exhaust gases from the auxiliary heating may consequently not be evacuated correctly and might to some extent penetrate the vehicle interior leading to a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning of the passengers. There is also a risk of the underbody panelling catching fire.
