Due to insufficient bonding, the panoramic roof may detach and fall onto the road. There is a risk of accident and injuries. Production: 18.03.2026 - 29.03.2026. Types: e1*2018/858*00364*05 (DRP).
The rear axle joints may not have been tightened to the required torque during assembly. If an affected joint comes loose completely, the driver may notice a misalignment of the steering wheel when driving straight. In severe cases, the joint may fail without warning, resulting in a rear wheel losing directional control. Although the brakes remain functional, this instability could increase the risk of accidents. Production: 20.2.2025 - 10.11.2025. Types: e1*2018/858*00364*03-*05 (DRP).
Incorrectly tightened fastener screws may loosen or fail, which can affect vehicle handling, braking, steering control, or wheel guidance, increasing the risk of accidents. Production: 15.08.2024 - 07.05.2025. Types: e1*2018/858*00364*01-*03 (DRP).
The seat back may become detached as a result of a faulty screw connection, which may lead to injuries in the event of an accident. Production: 18.8.2024 - 19.9.2025. Types: e1*2018/858*00364*02-*05 (DRP).
The seat belt's retraction mechanism does not work properly. This may result in a loose roll and insufficient tension of the seatbelt, increasing the risk of an injury in the event of an accident. Production: 16.05.2025 - 23.05.2025. Types: e1*2018/858*00364*03 (DRP).
