|
| 5 | A12/0129/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Clio |
The
front right brake caliper's clip could break as a result of the
cylinder rupturing. This could
reduce
the efficiency of the vehicle’s braking system in the case of
emergency braking.
|
|
| 6 | A12/0148/17 | Serious risk | Dacia | Dokker |
The
locking system on the side sliding doors does not work as required. In
the event of a collision,
the
sliding doors may consequently open leading to an increased risk of
injury for the passengers.
|
|
| 9 | A12/0237/17 | Serious risk | Nissan | Note, Pulsar | The
chemical composition in the gas generator of the curtain
(head-protection) airbag may not be correct. It is therefore possible
that, in the event of a side-on collision, the curtain airbag
may
not be deployed, and passengers in the vehicle may be injured. |
|
| 12 | A12/0336/17 | Serious risk | Infiniti | Q30, QX30 |
The mixture ratio of the ignition chemicals in the
inflator of the passenger airbag is incorrect.
In the event of an accident, this could prevent
the deployment of the passenger airbag.
|
|
| 14 | A12/0423/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Twingo |
Due to possible breaking of the welds, there is a
risk of the outer covering of the bonnet detaching while driving.
|
|
| 14 | A12/0425/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Twingo |
The covering of the spoiler might come loose and
pieces of the tailgate glass may detach while driving.
|
|
| 15 | A12/0470/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Trafic | The tyre pressures specified on the information
label may be incorrect. The width of the spare wheel may be incorrect. |
|
| 16 | A12/0506/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Kangoo |
Cracks
in the casing of the steering column could lead to fatigue rupture of
the casing. This could lead to the controls under the steering wheel
(indicators, lights, wipers) becoming jammed and difficult to
operate. In case of rupture due to bending in the event of an impact,
it could affect the steering.
|
|
| 16 | A12/0507/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Megane |
When accelerating sharply, the software does not
require adequate pressure to be applied to the
clutch which could cause the clutch to overheat.
As a result, the vehicle might go into
"back-up" mode whilst driving |
|
| 17 | A12/0536/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Megane | When the rear door is closed, the child safety lock pre-set to the 'locks activated' position can disengage. | |
| 17 | A12/0537/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Clio | The front windscreen wiper mechanism could stop working whilst driving. | |
| 17 | A12/0552/17 | Serious risk | Dacia | Dokker | The locking system on the side sliding doors does
not work as required. In the event of a side impact, the sliding doors may consequently open leading to an increased risk of injury for the passengers. |
|
| 19 | A12/0614/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Captur, Kadjar | Due to a calibration error in the engine management controller, the after-treatment system for nitrogen oxides (NOx) is progressively saturated with sulphur. This leads to bad functioning of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) trap, reducing its efficiency in decontaminating NOx emissions. | |
| 20 | A12/0619/17 | Serious risk | Infiniti | Q30, QX30 | In the event of an accident, the restraint systems may not be activated as intended because the airbag control unit is incorrectly programmed | |
| 20 | A12/0620/17 | Serious risk | Nissan | Murano | A power steering pressure hose can break. This results in leakage of power steering fluid, which can cause power steering to fail and possibly also cause a fire. | |
| 20 | A12/0623/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Talisman | Possibility of incorrect fixing of the bottom cover of the dashboard, which may cause its partial or complete detachment | |
| nouveauté : Mitsubushi nouveau dans le groupe renault Nissan et déjà ! | 20 | A12/0615/17 | Serious risk | Mitsubishi | FUSO Canter | The fuel return pipe is insufficiently designed against chemicals, paints, soap or fats used by bodywork manufacturers or in cleaning. The chemicals cause the hoses to swell, which could cause them to break free of their connection, causing fuel to leak out. In the worst case, a fire could occur. |
| 21 | A12/0677/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Scénic | Part of the sound insulation can detach which can
cause the automatic parking brake to be released unintentionally. |
|
| 21 | A12/0696/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Talisman | When the rear door is closed, a child safety lock pre-set to the 'locks activated' position could disengage. | |
| 23 | A12/0764/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Kangoo | Fixing screws for the tension rods on the sub-frame are missing. As a result, there is a risk that the engine’s anti-intrusion bar will not properly protect the occupants in the event of a frontal collision. | |
| 23 | A12/0765/17 | Serious risk | Renault | Espace, Kadjar, Megane, Scenic, Talisman | The mixture ratio of the ignition chemicals in the
inflators for the window airbags is not correct. This could prevent the window airbags from inflating in the event of an accident. |
|
| 23 | A12/0781/17 | Serious risk | Dacia | Logan | A flexible strip which should be under the front
protective moulding is missing. This could lead to the possibility of emission of CO2 very slightly higher than that of the type approval documentation. |
|
| 24 | A12/0815/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Talisman | The brake caliper/brake disk combination may be inadequate. As a consequence, the inadequate friction surface between the brake disk and the brake could affect the brake efficiency and balance with a possibility of pulling (right or left) during braking, or even a risk of decreasing braking efficiency of the vehicle without warning on the dashboard. | |
| 26 | A12/0872/17 | Serious Risk | Mitsubishi | Outlander |
A malfunction of the engine's software has been
detected and the spark plugs do not work
properly. As a consequence, the main battery may
not be charged, causing the vehicle to stop
because of a low battery which could create a
hazard for passengers and other road users.
|
|
| 30 | A12/0984/17 | Serious Risk | Dacia | Duster | The cabling for the car horn is inadequate and the car horn may stop working | |
| 31 | A12/1030/17 | Serious Risk | Nissan | Qashqai |
The
rear-right wheel-arch protection may scuff the brake hose. This could
result in a leak of brake
fluid and, subsequently, reduced braking performance.
|
|
| 31 | A12/1033/17 | Serious Risk | Nissan | Tiida, Note |
Deterioration
of the inflator propellant may, under certain usage
conditions, lead to abnormal deployment
of the passenger airbag.
|
|
| 34 | A12/1123/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Kadjar | Due to a problem with the airbag control module, the airbag may fail to deploy, or deploy incorrectly, in the event of an accident | |
| 34 | A12/1150/17 | Serious Risk | Nissan | Micra | The ignition switch harness may not be correctly locked in position. As a result the connector may disconnect, which could result in engine shut down while driving with no possibility torestart | |
| 35 | A12/1166/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Mégane | There is an error in the instructions for the procedure for locking the rear doors. | |
| 35 | A12/1188/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Zoe | The
"park" function activator on the parking brake mechanism may break. As
a consequence it may not be possible to lock the automatic transmission in the park position. |
|
| 40 | A12/1338/17 | Serious Risk | Dacia | Duster | The car horn system does not match the vehicle's electrical system. As a consequence, the horn may stop working and the driver's airbag may malfunction. |
|
| 40 | A12/1342/17 | Serious Risk | Mitsubishi | Pajero | In the event of deployment of the driver and passenger side airbags, sharp fragments may be released from the inflators of the airbags which could injure the driver and/or the passenger | |
| 43 | A12/1451/17 | Serious Risk | Nissan | Navara, Almera, X-Trail, Terrano, Tino, Patrol | In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag,the inflator body of the airbag could shatter and release metal fragments into the vehicle cabin causing injuries to the occupants. | |
| 45 | A12/1518/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Clio |
The
central pivot pin of the back structure of the rear bench-seat does not
have sufficient mechanical strength. In the event of a violent
front impact to the vehicle, heavy items of luggage in the boot
could consequently be projected into the cabin causing injuries to
the occupants.
|
|
| 46 | A12/1563/17 | Serious Risk | Mitsubishi | i-MiEV | In the event of deployment of the passenger side airbag, the inflator might release metal fragments which could injure the passenger. | |
| 46 | A12/1564/17 | Serious Risk | Mitsubishi | ASX and Pajero Sport | The end cap of the gas springs for the rear door can come off. The end cap can hit the user and/or the rear door can fall down suddenly resulting in injury to the user. | |
| 46 | A12/1565/17 | Serious Risk | Mitsubishi | ASX | The inside of the front wiper motor may corrode due to water ingress. This could lead to the wiper motor stopping to work. If the wiper motor stops working whilst driving, an accidentcould result. | |
| 48 | A12/1682/17 | Serious Risk | Nissan | Qashqai |
The
direction indicator lamp on the wing mirror may not work if the rear
window defrosting and defogging system is switched on. This may
pose a danger to other road users.
|
|
| 49 | A12/1724/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Master | Due to a problem with the diesel filter fuel could leak on to the road endangering other road users. | |
| 49 | A12/1725/17 | Serious Risk | Renault | Twingo | The durability of the front left steering knuckle may be insufficient. The knuckle could consequently deteriorate affecting the steering of the vehicle. | |
| 50 | A12/1782/17 | Serious Risk | Nissan | Patrol, X-Trail | There is a defect in the gas generator of the passenger airbag. In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, metal fragments can be released which can cause injury to the occupants. |
