What is this? A car maker found that some cars may have loose screws on a part that holds the shock absorber.

What's happening? The screws might not be tight enough, which could cause an injury if the part fails.

Does this affect me? If you own or use one of these cars in France, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Take the car to a dealer to check and tighten the screws. Ask your dealer for help.
