What is the danger

On certain vehicles, the nuts to attach the conductor rails inside the fuse box in the boot may not have been installed.

Requirements breached

This could lead to increased contact resistance between the conductor rails and, as a consequence, cause a fire or failure in the engine functioning, seat belt functions and the dashboard, leading to an increased risk of accident and injury.
