Due to improper software of the FCM ECU (Forward Collision Mitigation), camera images might be processed incorrectly and a possible collision might be detected falsely. As a result. the FCM system might operate primary braking, leading to increased risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The Fluorine anti-rust coating of the ramp shaft for the rear parking brake may peel off, allowing water to penetrate inside and rust the shaft and the internal caliper.As the result, the shaft could become stuck, causing decreased parking brake force, leading to increased risk of an accident.

Due to improper soldering of an electrical connection, the electric terminal of the heated windshield may be overheated excessively when activated.This might cause a thermal incident (cracking of the glass), increasing the risk of an accident.

The seat belt at the right second row seat assembly is incorrect.Hence, in case of vehicle collision there might be poor passenger protection. .

The flange area of the engine's multi-belt auto tensioner may crack under high-load driving conditions, which may cause the drive-belt to fall off. If this occurs, the engine warning light will illuminate, there will be a loss of power steering assistance, the battery will discharge and the engine may overheat and stall.

Due to temperature and humidity, the adhesive material between the sunroof glass and its outer frame may weaken. As a consequence, the sunroof glass might detach from the outer frame and come off.

The software in the Active Stability Control (ASC) system may be faulty. As a consequence, the adaptive cruise control (ACC), forward - collision mitigation (FCM) and anti-lock braking system (ABS) may not work properly which may lead to accidents.

The software of the forward-collision mitigation (FCM) system of the engine control unit (ECU) may be faulty. As a consequence, the FCM-ECU software may activate the brake for longer than necessary and the driver may react by applying additional braking. The resulting rapid deceleration of the vehicle can increase the risk of rear-end collision.

The engine control relay unit (ECU) or valve lift control relay can heat up abnormally. As the result the engine can stall whilst driving.

The door lock mechanism in the door latch might not operate properly in high temperatures. As the result the door may not be locked properly and could open while the vehicle is moving.

The parking brake lever shaft might be stuck due to corrosion or/and the auto-adjuster of the rear brake piston assembly might be inoperative. The parking brake might work with lower efficiency or might be inoperative.

Corrosion may occur inside the windscreen wiper motor. This may lead to failure of the windscreen wipers while driving which could lead to an accident.

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.

High voltage variations within the system that controls all of the vehicle's electrical components can cause the vehicle's lights and/or the windscreen wipers to malfunction.

For cars not equipped with ACC/FCM (Active Cruise Control / Forward Collision Mitigation system), the HMSL (High Mounted Stop Light) might permanently glow slightly when the lights are on. This potentially may lead to a road accident. For cars equipped with ACC/FCM, on the other hand, there is a risk that a malfunction in the stop light circuit will not be detected, causing a potential risk of incorrect functioning of the ASC system, which may lead to a road accident.

Due to the inappropriate material of the auxiliary drive belt, the drive belt pulley may wear obliquely. As a consequence, the auxiliary drive belt could become damaged and come off the pulley. If the vehicle is driven in this condition, the battery would become depleted and the engine could overheat. In vehicles with an oil pressure power-steering system, the steering effort could increase as a result of no power assistance.

The sleeve of a switch in the Brake booster may have a crack and could break. As a result of this, the brake pedal might not release after applying the brake and the car could then come to a halt.

Due to a defect in the brake light switch, the brake lights might not light up when the brakes are applied. This could lead to an accident.

Due to improper machining of the oil seal installation hole in the transfer cover, the oil seal may come loose from the hole. This can lead to loss of automatic transmission fluid from the automatic gearbox, thus, there is a possibility of poor gear shifting and illumination of the warning light. In the worst case scenario, the vehicle can no longer be driven.

The “keyless operation system” control unit may shut down at very low temperatures (-20 to -30 degrees). In this case, the engine will not start and it will not be possible to lock or unlock the doors, tailgate and steering.

The power voltage monitoring circuit of the electric power steering system may operate incorrectly, resulting in a failure of the electric power assistance function.

Due to improper programming of the engine control unit, the forward collision mitigation system may improperly judge the walls in a tunnel to be another vehicle. As a result, the system may automatically operate the brakes to reduce the vehicle speed.
