This failure in the operation of the vehicles could lead to a short circuit and overheating, and in the most extreme case a fire even when parked, warned Profeco, which recommended parking outdoors and away from the vicinity of buildings.
As reported, the supplier in these defective models will replace the engine at no additional cost to affected people, who were urged to contact authorized distributors by telephone or email.
This alert was issued by the brand on November 18 and now Profeco is replicating it to guarantee that this call is answered.
