Risk Description

null The Engine Management System (EMS) does not provide the speed restriction when the vehicle road speed exceeds 135mph (217kph) with the Deployable Rear Spoiler in the down position. Vehicle stability will be compromised and the degree of directional control minimised. This significantly increases the risk of an accident at very high road speeds.
