The rear brake discs do not have sufficient contact with the wheel hub, resulting in abnormal stress concentration. This may cause cracking and reduced torque transmission, leading to loosening of the wheel bolts and increasing the risk of a wheel detaching from the vehicle. In addition, a crack forming a groove on the surface of a brake disc may affect braking performance, increasing the risk of injuries.

The vehicles may have a defect in the system that monitors urea consumption. Due to this issue, the diagnostic test designed to detect problems such as reduced urea usage or a blocked injector may not run frequently enough. This increases the risk that the emissions system is not properly checked, which could lead to the vehicle failing to comply with the required emissions standards.
