The issue relates to the bolted connection for the brake servo push rod. It may not meet the required technical specifications and could gradually loosen over time. If this happens, a secure mechanical connection between the brake pedal and the brake servo cannot be guaranteed.
"In the unlikely event that the connection were to become completely loose, these vehicles are equipped with a controlled emergency braking function, which can be activated by pressing and holding the electromechanical parking brake button on the centre console," SIAM stated.
