Injuries
The product poses a risk of injuries because the engine cooling fan may permanently stop working due to a software error in the Fan Control Module (FCM). If the fan stops it may cause reduced Air Condition (AC) performance and the driver will normally be informed of the increased coolant temperature by a yellow information lamp and the following written message: "reduce speed". However, if the engine temperature continues to rise, a red warning lamp will light up and text instructions will indicate that the car should be stopped safely. In this specific failure mode, the deviation may lead to a rapid increase in coolant temperature and the driver may not notice the indication lamps and the text messages. The situation could result in boiling coolant, loss of coolant and eventually engine damage or engine break down, which may lead to accidents.

Enforcement is a top priority of the EU Consumer Policy Strategy 2007-2013. Both measures leading to RAPEX notifications and measures which come to the attention of the Commission and other Member States as reactionsare indications of enforcement activity in the Member State concerned.
In order to give a better view on the overall level of enforcement, including the follow-up activities of the national market surveillance authorities, the Commission RAPEX team has decided to publish on the RAPEX website also the names of the countries that have found the notified product on their market and have taken appropriate measures (and have submitted a reaction to a RAPEX notification as a consequence).
Information about the reacting countries is available in the RAPEX weekly overviews in the column 'Products were found and measures were taken also in'. The Commission RAPEX team will publish reactions sent (from May2009 onwards) to 2009 RAPEX notifications.
