EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the NV300 in 6 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The side airbag collision sensors and associated cable kits may not have been installed during production. This can cause the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner system to fail to operate as expected under impact conditions, increasing the risk of injury. The pro…
Oxidation can occur in the gas generator housing of the front passenger airbag module.As a result, the airbag’s protective function in the event of an accident may be reduced, increasing the risk of injury.
The parking brake lever bearing bolt may break when the parking brake is used.This can lead to an unintended movement of the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.
Due to a manufacturing defect in the fuel tank, fuel may leak out onto the road. This can pose a risk to the following traffic or, if an ignition source is present, can increase the risk of fire.
The hand brake cable stopper may be incorrectly installed. As a result, the holding force of the hand brake may not be sufficient to hold the vehicle in position, increasing the risk of an accident.
The safety belt anchor bolts on certain vehicles may have been insufficiently tightened. In the event of a collision, the safety belt anchorage may detach, increasing the risk of injury.
