What the notice says today
The defect
The fastening beam of the steering device can break down due to excessive rust. (Dutch: De bevestigingsbout van de stuurinrichting kan afbreken door overmatig roesten.)
The consequence
The steering wheel may loose and the car may become uncontrollable, resulting in an increased risk of an accident. (Dutch: Het stuurhuis kan losraken en dan kan de auto onbestuurbaar worden. Dat leidt tot een verhoogde kans op een ongeval.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact the brand dealer, who will check the attachment of the steering device and replace it if necessary. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met de merkdealer, deze zal de bevestiging van de stuurinrichting controleren en zo nodig vervangen.)
