The risk
A bolt with a reduced shank diameter could cause the torque pin to slide out of the rear lower suspension arm. This may lead to overload and failure of the lower suspension arm, which can cause damage to other suspension components and the rear brakes, which could cause 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.
