There is a possibility that the lower pinion needle bearing may have been omitted from the steering system during manufacture. If this is the case, the upper bearing would be overloaded and, if left in this condition, the pinion may disengage causing loss of steering control.
The recall affects vehicles manufactured between 27. 6. – 3. 9. 2008.

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.
