The problem

Divergent torques during the bolting process may cause the cylinder head cover bolts to loosen. Motor oil may come out of the cylinder head cover bolt holes, come into contact with hot parts of the engine, and thereby generate smoke or cause a fire.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
