Description (français)
Il se peut que le fermoir des ceintures de séurité du siège arrière de I'Audi 4000 et celul de la ceinture du siège avant droit de I'Audi 5000 qui sont fabriqués par AFG ne retiennent pas la ceinture solidement, même si la patte en métal est engagée à fond. En cas de freinage brusque ou d'impact, la ceinture peut se détacher.
