RENAULT CLIO 1.4 – statistika z registru

The tightening of the ball joint nuts of the front lower control arm may be insufficient due to a processing defect. The first signs thereof are an abnormal noise (clicking and/or knocking sounds) detected at low mileage. One of the connections between the wheel and the frame of the vehicle may be lost, which could cause the vehicle to veer off course, leading to accidents. The product does not comply with 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 positive terminal of the battery can come into contact with the heat sink on the alternator. This can lead to an electrical short circuit and to increased risk of fire in the engine compartment.

Possible internal failure in the steering column motor control.This will result in loss of steering assistance when stationary or while driving, increasing the risk of an accident.

The stop switch which controls the operation of the automatic gear selection lever may not function properly. As a result, it may not prevent the gearbox from switching from ‘P’ to ‘R’ when the brake pedal is not pressed, increasing the risk of an accident.

The catalytic converter has not been correctly welded. As a consequence, exhaust gas may leak into the engine compartment.

Cracks may form in the front wheel hub. The front wheel hub could consequently break leading to the front wheel become detached.

The dipped headlamp beams may face downwards as a result of the the headlamp beam height correction system not working. This would lead to reduced visibility for the driver at night.

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.

The front windscreen wiper mechanism could stop working whilst driving.

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.

It is possible that two of the four anchoring screws on the front seats of the vehicle may be missing. In the event of impact or hard braking there is a risk of the front-seat anchorages breaking.

The screw for the right-hand and/or left-hand hub carrier on the rear axle may not have been tightened or tightened incorrectly. This could lead at high mileage to sudden displacement of the wheel.

The front wheel arch may be incorrectly installed. As a result, the brake hose may come into contact with the front wheel arch, causing wear of the brake hose by fretting. If the brake hose breaks and the brake fluid leaks out, the performance of braking could be compromised.

The upper part of the rear spoiler could detach whilst driving. Debris on the road could lead to other motorists losing control of their vehicles, causing accidents.

Due to insufficient tightening of the wheel bolts, a wheel may be lost while driving.

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.

There is a risk of aggression of the front flexible brake hose by the underwing plastic protectors (Clio IV) and/or a risk of escape of the hydraulic pistons from the rear drum brake cylinder (Clio IV Berlina). This could lead to a brake fluid leak and consequent loss of braking efficiency.
