The risk
Due to defects in the injection casting process or mechanical damage to the sheath, humidity may enter the starter relay. This can lead to the corrosion of components/contacts inside the starter relay, causing functional failures. This corrosion can also cause electrical leaks making components overheat, creating a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
