3. Hazard Information
The recall is classified as a serious risk under the category of “Injuries.” The specific danger identified is that the rear suspension springs may not have been manufactured with the required dimensions. This manufacturing defect could cause the left or right rear spring to break. If a spring breaks, the vehicle may sag, and the broken spring could fall onto the road. This condition increases the risk of an accident for the vehicle occupants and other road users.

4. Consumer Action Required
The source data indicates that the measure taken is a “Recall of the product from end users.” Consumers who own an affected vehicle should contact an authorized Dacia dealer to have the vehicle inspected and repaired.

Specific instructions for consumers regarding how to schedule the repair or check if their specific vehicle is included are not detailed in the recall notice beyond the general recall action.

5. Official Remedy
The official remedy is a recall of the product from end users. The type of economic operator taking the notified measure is the manufacturer. The specific corrective action (e.g., replacement of the rear suspension springs) is implied by the nature of the defect but is not explicitly stated in the source data.
