Product
Passenger car
Brand
Renault (205 alerts)
Type / model
Twingo, Type C06, EC type approval: e2*98/14*0071
Description
The vehicles in question were manufactured between October 2003 and 19 October 2006 exclusively with the Quickshift gearbox.
Risk
The product poses a risk of fire because the distance between the engine cable harness and the high-pressure pipe of the automated gearbox (Quickshift gearbox) may not be sufficent when the engine is running (engine vibrations). If the high-pressure pipe touches the engine cable harness, it could become eroded, or part of it could be broken through. This can lead to the engine jerking or dying and in extreme cases it could cause a fire.
Measures
