The risk

A faulty ground cable of the starter generator can cause the engine to stop while the vehicle is in motion, creating a risk of an accident. Moreover, increased contact resistance can cause local heating of the screw connection, 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.
