The risk
The software for the communication of immobilisation data between the MCU (Motor Control Unit) and the BCM (Body Control Module) could be defective. As a result, from a stationary position on a slope, the vehicle could move in the opposite direction until the driver uses the brakes and stops the vehicle. This increases the risk of an accident. 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.
