The three aluminium screws of the steering box may corrode due to exposure to spray water and aggressive road-grit (salt) used for melting ice. Advanced corrosion could weaken the screws, leading to potential breakage during manoeuvring or parking. If all fixing screws fail, the power-assisted steering could detach, resulting in a loss of power steering and an increased risk of an accident. Production: 3.11.2010 - 7.11.2016. Types: e1*2007/46*0485*00-*16 (218), e1*2001/116*0335*19-*37 (221), e1*2001/116*0502*07-*21 (207); e1*2007/46*0598*00-*22 (166), e1*2001/116*0480*08-*22 (204 X), e1*2001/116*0431*29-*41 (204), e1*2001/116*0457*25-*34 (204 K), e1*2001/116*0501*08-*30 (212), e1*2007/46*0200*07-*25 (212 K),.
The aluminium bolts of the steering box may break. This can lead to detachment of the steering box from the power block, creating a risk of an accident. Production: 14.04.2010 -12.04.2017.

The driver and passenger airbags of the company Takata in vehicles with ammonium nitrate gas generators without drying agents could, under certain climate conditions, lead over time to a chemical change in the fuel. In the event of an accident triggering the release of the driver or passenger airbag, this change could cause the gas generators to burst. If a gas generator ruptures, the airbag would then have no restraining function and loose parts from the gas generator could reach the vehicle interior. This would increase the risk of injury for passengers. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2004 and 2016..
