Due to a manufacturing defect, diodes may have been soldered to the printed circuit board, instead of transistors, in accelerator pedals during assembly. In the event of voltage peaks, the diode may become damaged and the accelerator pedal sensor may fail. This failure can result in a lack of throttle response and cause the vehicle to coast to a stop. In the case of a failure of the accelerator pedal, the cruise control function may also be deactivated. Note: The function of the brakes, illumination and warning lamps remain ensured in the case of the occurrence of damage.

The tyres within this production range may not meet manufacturing specifications. As a result, a small separation may generate along the edge of the radial steel belts which may lead to a larger separation developing. As this separation generates over time, the tyre is safe to use until the end of its first life (original tread worn out) but should not be retreaded. If this separation occurs, it could cause rapid loss of air pressure and may lead to a loss of vehicle control.
