Hazard

The screw connection of the 48 V ground connector of the coolant electric compressor may come loose and lead to improper attachment of the ground line cable head. This increases the electrical contact resistance and can cause the temperature at the connection point to increase, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
