The risk
The product poses a serious risk of fire because in the engine, due to the rise in temperature, the area close to the clutch can burst into flames. It can occur owing to the friction of the defective flywheel against the casing of the gearbox. In unfavourable conditions this can lead to a fire in the vehicle.
Product: The recall concerns vehicles with production years from 2004 to 2005.
