What the notice says today
The defect
A fixing rod of the front wheel suspension may break because it is fastened too tight. (Dutch: Een bevestigingsbout van de voorwielophanging kan mogelijk breken doordat deze te strak is vastgedraaid.)
The consequence
If this happens, a knocking noise can be heard.In the end, this can lead to reduced steering control and braking performance, which increases the risk of an accident. (Dutch: Als dit gebeurt, kan een kloppend geluid hoorbaar zijn. Uiteindelijk kan dit leiden tot verminderde stuurcontrole en remprestaties, wat het risico op een ongeval vergroot.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact the brand dealer, who will replace the respective attachment rod. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met de merkdealer. Deze zal de betreffende bevestigingsbout vervangen.)
