Injuries
The product poses a risk of injuries because in certain cars 16 inch brake discs have been fitted
instead of 17 inch ones. Thus, in case of intensive brake usage, vapour bubbles in the brake fluid may
appear, reducing the braking effect and causing the risk of an accident.
Measures taken by economic operators: Voluntary corrective action taken by the manufacturer.
