On 13,535 Peugeot 308s, the outside door handles do not close the doors properly. For cars built between February 2021 and January 2022, there is a risk of the doors opening while driving. We have previously reported on the problem. The article also points out that the same fault can also occur with Opel Astra.
More than 100,000 Mercedes C-Classes are recalled due to possible moisture ingress into one of its modules. In addition to the risk of fire, there is also a risk of failure of the exterior lighting in the rear of the vehicle, the rear seats folding down spontaneously, or the reversing camera being unavailable. The “C” manufactured between October 2020 and June 2022 must be checked.

BMW is recalling 527 X7 SUVs that left the assembly line between December 2018 and February 2022. Due to a faulty installation of the compression springs of the lock in the third seat row, the backrest may not be fully secured. This can lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.
The rear silencer can come loose and fall to the road with nearly 68,000 Ford Ranger pickup trucks with a production date of December 1, 2016 – February 28, 2019.
