Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les marchepieds fixés aux réservoirs de carburant peuvent se fissurer par fatigue en raison d’un porte-à-faux excessif. Il se peut donc qu’une personne soit blessée si le marchepied cède sous son poids. Correction : Les marchepieds devront être renforcés. Ceux qui sont fissurés devront être remplacés et renforcés.
