⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because, as a result of temperature fluctuations during the supplier's hardening process, the individual ratchets of the seatbelt clasps for the driver, front-seat passenger and left and centre rear passenger seats, may not meet the manufacturer's safety standards. In the worst cases, the force which occurs in the event of an accident may cause a defective component to break and lead to the seatbelt being released.
