Wiring harnesses
Incorrect positioning of the transmission wiring harness can lead to water ingress and subsequently an increased risk of fire in 57,988 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, E-Class Coupé/Cabriolet and AMG GT 4-Door Coupé with all-wheel drive manufactured between 2017 and 2022. Over 200,000 2021 Honda Ridgeline pickups may have tailgate wiring harness cover cracks.
Inacceptable emissions
Some Opel Corsa vehicles built between 2019 and 2023 and equipped with the EB2FA engine may not meet the emission standard. With 216,361 cars, the fuel tank vent valve (CPV) and/or fuel lines must be replaced.
Fuel leakage
Improper installation can cause fuel lines to disconnect and lead to fuel leaks in nearly 200 Lamborghini Revuelto supercars. The leaked fuel can ignite on contact with hot engine parts, increasing the risk of fire.
