Hazard

The starter generator cable is not properly bolted to the bodywork. This may lead to engine shut-off while the vehicle is moving, creating a risk of injuries. In addition, an increase in the contact resistance may cause local heating of the bolt connection and lead to a 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.
