Hazard

If the nut is completely lost, the steering system would become disconnected from the vehicle, leading to the inability to steer or control the vehicle, posing a potential risk of accidents and endangering the lives of other road users. 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.
