Renault

The risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because there is a possibility of partial loss of the ABS functions after 3 to 5 seconds of setting due to an internal leak from the ESP isolation solenoid valve. This could result in partial and temporary loss of directional control of the vehicle and the ESP (electronic stability) function if braking is accompanied by activation of the ABS (wheel anti-blocking system). The ESP function sets the ABS to ensure the functioning of the wheel(s) which corrects the vehicle's trajectory. Functioning returns to normal when the brake pedal is released after braking. The conventional braking function (i.e. with no activation of the ABS) is not affected.
