There might be a metallic stamping residue inside the housing of the airbag control unit. In case of a crash, it might come into contact with the circuit board and cause a short circuit. As a result, the airbags would not deploy, thus increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.
The recall concerns vehicles which have been produced between October 2014 and June 2015.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
