Description (français)

Le support extérieur avant de la glissière du siège du conducteur risque de se rompre sous l'effet de la fatigue. Une telle rupture donnerait du jeu au siège pendant l'accélération ou la décélération du véhicule, ce qui pourrait nuire à la maîtrise du véhicule et causer un accident.
