A production defect in the battery may lead to a short circuit.This may cause overheating and damage to the electrical systems, increasing the risk of fire.
Possible internal failure in the steering column motor control.This will result in loss of steering assistance when stationary or while driving, increasing the risk of an accident.
Cracks may form in the front wheel hub. The front wheel hub could consequently break leading to the front wheel become detached.
A component in the parking brake mechanism may be defective. There is a risk of a sudden loss of the park function.
The gearbox may malfunction. This could lead to a sudden loss of the park function or a non-possibility to engage it.
A Nissan accelerator pedal may have been fitted instead of a Renault accelerator pedal. When pressing on the accelerator pedal, the driver's foot could become trapped in the carpet.
The "park" function activator on the parking brake mechanism may break. As a consequence it may not be possible to lock the automatic transmission in the park position.
The rear part of the front rear arch liner may be incorrectly mounted. This could lead to the flexible brake hose becoming worn as a result of friction with the wheel arch liner. Damage thus caused to the brake hose could lead to a loss of braking efficiency.
