What the notice says today
The defect
A screening plate at the height of the firewall (heat shield) may not be properly installed. (Dutch: Een afschermplaat ter hoogte van de vuurwand (hitteschild) is mogelijk niet juist ingebouwd.)
The consequence
The fuel pipeline may scratch against the protective plate and result in damage. This can result in a loss of fuel pressure and thereby a loss of drive. (Dutch: De brandstofleiding kan tegen de beschermplaat schuren en schade oplopen. Dit kan zorgen voor een verlies aan brandstofdruk en daarmee kan er aandrijfverlies optreden. Dit verhoogt het risico op een ongeluk.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner can make an appointment with a brand dealer who will perform a repair free of charge when necessary. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar kan een afspraak maken met een merkdealer. Deze zal kosteloos een reparatie uitvoeren wanneer dit nodig is.)
