What is the risk?
- Due to an error in the configuration of the engraving machine, the rim width is incorrectly engraved on the rear wheel rims as 7½ X18CH5-ET35 instead of 8½ X18CH5-ET46. The actual specification of the wheel rims and the wheels fitted to the vehicles is correct, at 8½ X18CH5-ET46. This increases the possibility that unsuitable tyres may be fitted (rim and wheel) in the event of a tyre change. As a result, this can lead to tyre damage and loss of vehicle stability and handling, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. 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.
