ASA8 Recall campaign - Re-coding airbag control unit
On affected vehicles the cabling for the crash sensors in the door trim panel was incorrectly assigned which can delay the side airbag trigger in certain crash situations.
Re-code the airbag control unit.
ASA9 Recall campaign - Check the high-pressure pump connections and if necessary replace the high-pressure pumps including fuel lines
On affected vehicles the screw connection of the high-pressure pump was not implemented in accordance with the technical specifications. This can lead to a leak and the possibility of the fuel igniting.
Check the screw connections of both high-pressure pumps and replace the high-pressure pumps and fuel lines if necessary.
ASA7 Recall Campaign / Stop Delivery – Check screw connection for airbag in front seats and rework if necessary
On the affected vehicles it is possible that during the production process the airbags in the front seats were not fastened to the seat backrest in accordance with specifications.If this is the case proper deployment and thus the retention effect of the airbag cannot be ensured in the event of an accident. This can increase the risk of injury to the occupants.
The screw connection of the airbags in the front seats of the affected vehicles must be checked and reworked depending on the test result.
ASA6 - Check the air suspension strut on the front axle and rework if necessary
There is a possibility that a locking ring on the air-spring strut at the front left and right was not fitted according to specifications on the affected vehicles. If this is the case the locking ring on the upper side of the respective spring strut can loosen and air can thus escape from the air spring. As a result the driving characteristics may be impaired which increases the risk of an accident.
The locking ring on the air-spring strut at the front left and right must be checked and reworked depending on the test result

ASA5 Stop Delivery Safety Recall - Replacing passenger‘s airbag unit
During regular conformity of production tests by the supplier a deviation at a component of the passenger’s airbag unit has been identified. As a result of this deviation the full protective effect of the passenger’s airbag may be impaired in the event of an accident triggering the restraint systems.
To ensure the full protective effect the passenger’s airbag unit of all affected vehicles must be replaced.
ASA0 - Check rear seat belt buckles and rework if necessary
Due to a process error in the production an aluminium butyl may have been positioned incorrectly and the screw connection of the rear left and right belt buckle was potentially not executed according to the specifications. If this is the case the correct fastening of the belt buckle cannot be guaranteed. The loosening of the rear belt buckles in the event of an accident or emergency braking cannot be ruled out. This could increase the associated risk of injury.
The positioning of the aluminium butyl mat on the left and right of the affected vehicles must be checked and depending on the test result the screw connection must be reworked.
