What the notice says today
The defect
It is possible that the wrong end damper of the exhaust system has been mounted. (Dutch: Mogelijk is de verkeerde einddemper van het uitlaatsysteem gemonteerd.)
The consequence
Although the end-damper does not affect the operation of the vehicle, the vehicle may not meet the legal requirements. (Dutch: Hoewel de einddemper de werking van het voertuig niet be�nvloed, voldoet het voertuig mogelijk niet aan de wettelijke vereisten.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact a Ford Dealer to replace the end-damper free of charge. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met een Ford Dealer om de einddemper kosteloos te laten vervangen.)
