Engine software may cause excess nitrogen oxide emissions
An incorrect engine control module setting may miscalculate sulfur oxide levels in the exhaust filter, affecting particle removal. The filter could become saturated and nitrogen oxide emissions could exceed permitted levels. The product is to be recalled from end users.
Official EU Safety Gate text
- Component
- Environment
- Defect
