Due to an incorrect update of the software, the dataset for the folding door control system was overwritten with an incorrect parameter, which causes the folding door to close independently after the ignition has been turned off and a period of 60 seconds has elapsed. As the power for the door control is now switched off, the reverse function and the protection against trapping are also switched off. This increases the risk of injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
