One more week we bring you the calls to review announced by the European Comission within the framework of its functions. As you can see, today’s list is quite varied and we find everything from electrical problems to quality failures in assembly and specifications for some equipment.
Before worrying, you should know that if your car is among those affected, you should go to the European Commission website and check if the serial numbers of the call for review match those in your unit. If they match, it is best to wait a reasonable time to be notified of the review call but if you see that this does not happen, you can directly contact the manufacturer’s customer service.
