We would like to point out that during workshop visits vehicles with a cargo basket are checked according to the recall CARGO BASKET and are to be processed accordingly.

Furthermore, we would ask you to check whether the customers have acquired a cargo basket from you. In this case contact the customer and agree a date for an appointment.

In the case of a cargo basket affected by the recall an unfavorable airflow over the cargo basket can occur while driving. There is the possibility that resonant vibrations will occur at the first cross strut which may lead to a fracture of the front cross strut. In consequence complete tearing off and dropping off of this strut cannot be ruled out.

For this reason it is important to replace the affected cargo baskets corresponding to the recall
