On some vehicles the Electronics Stability Control (ESC) warning light and the relative warning message may appear on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and the ESC may deactivate. In the worst case the vehicle could lose controllability when braking due to Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) not being available.
On affected vehicles due to a production nonconformity there may be contact or a reduced clearance between the fuel Particulate Filter pipe and the pole protection cup of the 48V Belt Starter Generator. Under wet conditions there is a possibility that this insufficient clearance may lead to water infiltration creating an electrical arc which could trigger a thermal event such as overheating. In the worst-case scenario this could result in a risk of fire in the engine compartment.
Il n'y a pas suffisamment de dégagement (< 10 mm) entre le tube du filtre à particules à essence et le capuchon de protection terminal de l'alternateur de démarrage à courroie de 48 v. dans des conditions humides, le manque de dégagement et de contact entre ces composants peut entraîner une infiltration d'eau, provoquant un arc électrique qui peut déclencher un événement thermique, tel qu'une surchauffe. il y a un risque d'incendie.
