Risk Description

The lateral control arm of the front suspension is attached to the sub-frame by means of two fasteners. If a fastener gets loose enough or detaches from the sub-frame, this can cause the wheel alignment to change. This cause instability, which could have a negative effect on vehicle control and increase the risk of a collision. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in 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.
