What the notice says today
The defect
The emergency call function in the communication module may not be activated. (Dutch: De noodoproepfunctie in de communicatiemodule is mogelijk niet geactiveerd.)
The consequence
This prevents rescue workers from being led to the vehicle in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injury. (Dutch: Hierdoor kunnen reddingswerkers bij een ongeval niet naar het voertuig worden geleid, waardoor het risico op letsel toeneemt.)
What will be done
The vehicle owner is asked to contact the brand dealer, who will update the software of the communication module. (Dutch: De voertuigeigenaar wordt verzocht contact op te nemen met de merkdealer. Deze zal de software van de communicatiemodule bijwerken.)
