Incorrect fitting of the pre-fuse box may lead to fire and to the loss of electrical power. In the case of a break in the contact, the engine can cut out while the vehicle is in motion and the steering assistance, the SRS system (e.g. airbags), ESP or instrument panel can fail, with an increased risk of injuries.
