EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Note in 11 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The child lock on the rear doors could be defective.As a result, it might be possible to open the door even when the child lock is activated, increasing the risk of an accident.
The gas generator on the passenger side airbags may be defective. Metal fragments can be released when the airbag is activated, causing injuries to the occupants.
In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, the inflator could rupture causing metal fragments to be produced which could cause injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
The chemical composition in the gas generator of the curtain (head-protection) airbag may not be correct. It is therefore possible that, in the event of a side-on collision, the curtain airbag may not be deployed, and passengers in the vehicle may be injured.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Actuator Control Unit may be contaminated and the particle can migrate and become trapped in a valve. As a result, the ABS may not operate correctly and the wheels might lock in unexpected situations.
Activation of the driver's airbag may cause an abnormal increase in the internal pressure of the gas inflator and, in extreme cases, cause the casing of the gas inflator to break. This means that there is an increased risk of injury for the occupants.
As a result of a design change to the engine ignition coils fitted, the internal electrical components of the coil may short circuit resulting in an engine misfire. In the worst case, this short circuit may cause a fuse inside the Power Distribution Module (IP…
In the event of deployment of the driver’s airbag, the internal pressure of the inflator may increase abnormally and, in extreme cases, cause the driver’s airbag inflator casing to rupture.
The push engine start switch may remain in the pressed position and not return after switching the engine on. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the emergency engine stop function may operate and cause the engine to stop unexpectedly.
There is a possibility that the lower pinion needle bearing may have been omitted from the steering system during manufacture. If this is the case, the upper bearing would be overloaded and, if left in this condition, the pinion may disengage causing loss of s…
The car poses a risk of accident due to a failure of the rear ISOFIX bracket under extreme conditions.Under extreme stress, such from a side impact, the rear ISOFIX bracket may break, thus rendering a child restraint system installed using the ISOFIX system us…
