What is this? This is about a car part called a towing eye. It is used to pull a car when it breaks down.
What's happening? The threads on the towing eye are the wrong size. It cannot be screwed in enough times. This means the car might come loose while being towed.
Does this affect me? If you drive a car made by DS, this could affect you. It is a problem in Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
What should I do? Stop using the towing eye right away. Ask your mechanic or dealer to check and fix it.
