Description (français)

Le pivot qui retient la jambe de force du hayon à la carrosserie peut se désolidariser du support de montage inférieur parce que la tête du rivet est trop petite. Si le pivot sort du support, le hayon peut tomber et causer des blessures à quiconque se trouverait en dessous. CORRECTION : Les véhicules devront être inspectés et si l'une ou l'autre des têtes de rivet est trop petite, le hayon devra être remplacé.
