⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of fire because the affected vehicles may not have the heated windscreen earth point tightened to the specification. An incorrectly tightened bolt may lead to electrical arcing and in some cases the arcing may cause scorching or burning of the surrounding trim components.
