It’s every motorist’s horror: a door that opens while driving! According to its own information, the authority is now monitoring a withdrawal. In Germany, approximately 67,400 vehicles are likely to be affected. Incidents that destroyed property or injured not yet known.
“At temperatures below freezing point, water penetration can obstruct the door lock mechanism, and as a result, the door lock appears to be locked,” the FAA said.

The first recalls have already begun and will take place in accordance with the markets, a spokesman for Volkswagen Group light commercial vehicles said Thursday morning.
