The nuts connecting the driveshaft to the wheel hub may not have been tightened to the required torque. As a result, the driveshaft and the wheel hub may become loose and the wheels could be blocked, increasing the risk of an accident.
Airbag sensors may have been inadequately installed. This may lead to reduced protection in the event of an accident in which the restraint system is activated.
There is a possibility that the passenger airbags were manufactured with faulty components. This may affect the triggering of the airbags which may result in full protection not being achieved in the event of an accident.
The windscreen might not be correctly bonded to the bodywork. Consequently, there is a possibility that the windscreen could become detached in the event of an accident.
The mounting screws for the fuel pipe on the fuel injectors may shear off due to stress corrosion cracking. This could lead to the fuel pipe becoming detached and fuel may leak into the engine compartment.
The front side airbags may fail to trigger in the event of an accident, resulting in an increased risk of injury for the occupants.
