Friday arrives and with it a new weekly report from the European Commission, in which they provide us with the list of the vehicles called for review within the community territory. As you will remember, last week the list was considerably long and electric cars turned out to be the main protagonists.
On the contrary, in the fourth week of the year, the truth is that things seem quite calm, with a rather reduced list of calls for review. However, we must bear in mind that it appears one of the best-selling models in Spain. Let’s see the news of this new batch.
