The risk
Mechanical stress associated with a weakness in the AHI (after-treatment hydrocarbon injection) pipe interconnector at the AHI injector. The stress may be attributed to strain caused by engine vibrations associated with low pipe strength. Engine vibrations may cause damage and a consequent increased risk of fire. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
