⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of fire as, due to improper protection of the engine harness, the harness can come into contact with the bolt securing the timing belt cover, or the timing belt cover itself, and thus the harness insulator may be damaged. If driven repeatedly in such condition, the harness may short-circuit, causing malfunction of the engine. In the worst case, it could result in a fire.
