STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
If the bracket fasterner loosens it can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the bracket fasterner loosens it can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
In the event of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time trying to get the roof exit open, increasing the risk of injury.
Without a label to identify the closest release mechanism, in the case of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time to find the location of an exit window release mechanism, increasing the risk of injury.
In the event of a crash, the bolts may break, failing to properly anchor the seat, increasing the risk of injury.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Without accurate gauges, the driver may not notice the pressure change in the secondary brake system. The driver may also not be aware of an ABS issue without the bulb illuminating each time the key is turned on. Either issue increases the risk of a crash.
Two 2012 TEMSA TS35Cs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
