YEAR | ALERT NUMBER (and LINK) | RISK LEVEL | BRAND | NAME | RISK DESCRIPTION |
2015 | A12/0075/15 | Serious risk | Nissan | Qashqai, Qashqai+2 and NV200 |
The steering wheel boss may
have insufficient strength. In this condition, if a driver should apply
a
high load to the
steering wheel, the steering wheel could separate from the steering
column
resulting in a loss of steering. |
A12/0124/15 | Serious risk | Infiniti | Q50 Hybrid, Q70 Hybrid |
The transmission
housing may develop cracks and be destroyed. The drive motor may
then suddenly fail.
|
|
A12/0304/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Trafic |
The bolt/nut assembly
connecting the suspension arm with the sub frame, could become loose
leading to the loss of
the nut or of the bolt while driving and consequent deterioration of the
dynamic behaviour of
the vehicle.
|
|
A12/0408/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Trafic |
The front passenger
seat frame may have cracks in the vicinity of the floor panel anchorage
points and could fail
in the event of an accident.
|
|
A12/0430/15 | Serious risk | Nissan | Micra |
Due to an Engine
Control Module (ECM) software error, under certain very limited engine
start
conditions, the ECM
may set an incorrect engine throttle valve position. As a result, at
engine speeds
in excess of 3600
rpm, the vehicle may briefly accelerate unexpectedly.
|
|
A12/0471/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Capture |
Due to wrong assembly
of the under-wing plastic protectors, the front flexible brake hose
could be
damaged resulting in a
slow brake fluid leak or sudden bursting of the flexible hose. This
could lead
to long brake pedal
travel and loss of braking efficiency.
|
|
A12/0498/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Twingo |
The buckle latch of the
front and rear seat belts has insufficient strength and could fail in
the event of a
frontal collision.
|
|
A12/0569/15 | Serious risk | Nissan | Pathfinder, Patrol, Pick-up, Terrano 2, X-Trail |
A fault in the gas
generator of the front passenger airbag can cause uncontrolled
inflation when
the airbag is
activated. Because the ignition pressure is too high, it can damage the
airbag housing
and cause injury.
|
|
A12/0717/15 | Serious risk | Nissan | Nissan Almera, Navara, Pathfinder, Patrol, Terrano II, Tino and XTrail. |
A potential air leak
on some passenger airbag inflators may allow moisture to enter the
airbag
inflator causing the
propellant in the inflator units to deteriorate. Deterioration of the
propellant may
create excessive
pressure and may result in separation of the airbag housing.
|
|
A12/0848/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Twingo |
The welds of the
bracket of the anti-roll bar rod on the front shock absorber could
rupture which
would lead to
degradation of the handling of the vehicle during cornering.
|
|
A12/0850/15 | Serious risk | Nissan | Note, Juke, Micra, Leaf and e-NV200 |
The push engine start
switch may remain in the pressed position and not return after
switching the
engine on. If the
vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the emergency engine
stop function
may operate and cause the engine to stop unexpectedly. |
|
A12/0872/15 | Serious risk | Nissan | Note and Micra |
There is a possibility
that the lower pinion needle bearing may have been omitted from the
steering
system during
manufacture. If this is the case, the upper bearing would be overloaded
and, if left in
this condition, the
pinion may disengage causing loss of steering control.
|
|
A12/0877/15 | Serious risk | Infiniti | Q50, Q70 |
Because of a faulty
gasket on the timing chain tensioner, motor oil may leak out and drip
onto
the road leading to a skid risk for other road users. |
|
A12/0949/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Clio IV |
Improper positioning
of the rear part of the front wheel arch liner can cause it to come into
contact with the
flexible brake hose, which may reduce braking efficiency.
|
|
A12/1338/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Espace V |
There is a risk of
aggression of the engine wiring by the metallic bracket welded to the
engine
supercharging air hose
and used as support for the fuel pipe. Damage to the wiring could lead
to
malfunction of the
engine or cause the automatic gearbox to become blocked.
|
|
A12/1354/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Kangoo |
The third row seats
may not lock properly when they are refitted by the user following their
removal. This could
lead to injuries in case of braking or an impact.
|
|
A12/1401/15 | Serious risk | Renault | Twingo |
The engine can be
started through the activation of the starter with the ignition key
when the
vehicle is not placed
in park or neutral. This could lead to the vehicle moving unexpectedly
which
could cause an
accident.
