Risk Description
The design of the accessory immobilizer is not robust enough. It allows the vehicle to be in 'Ready ON' mode even when no match is found between the vehicle and its key but will switch the vehicle to 'Ready OFF' after. It can happen while driving, which will stop the car and increase the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with 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.
