The risk
The fixings for the fuse box cables can be incorrectly torqued, causing the cables to become loose. This can lead to an electrical power loss in the vehicle or cause heat damage to the fuse box. Loss of electrical power can result in the engine stalling or loss of headlights, power assisted steering or other vehicle functions. This can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Heat damage to the fuse box can cause smoke in the trunk, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with 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.
