SMART · Passenger car - Smart for two.
The product poses a risk of injuries as under extreme conditions the windscreen or roof may detach due to the paint application which failed to meet requirements because of partial adhesion problems that can arise between individual paint on the tridion cell (safety cell). This may cause the paint to bubble and flake on the outside of the Tridion cell; it also affects the bond with the roof and windscreen components which are attached by adhesive.
