Due to a mistranslation of the configuration data between two production systems, the vehicle’s body control module (BCM) may not be correctly configured to detect indicator light failures. If an indicator bulb fails, the BCM may not detect the fault and the warning signal may not illuminate, reducing communication with other road users and increasing the risk of an accident.

What is this? This is a recall about some Opel and Vauxhall vans called Movano NG. A mistake in how the van’s computer was set up may make the turn-signal lights not work right.

What's happening? Because of a translation error, the van’s computer might not notice when a turn-signal bulb is broken. The broken bulb may not light up, so other drivers won’t see the signal.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Movano NG van in France, this could affect you.

What should I do? Take your van to a dealer right away to have it checked. Ask your dealer or a mechanic for help.
