The notification, made under the Safety Gate (EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products), indicates that potential dangers have been identified in the vehicles concerned. The DGC, as the National Contact Point for Safety Gate, receives and forwards these notifications to the competent market surveillance authorities.
The Safety Gate aims to detect dangerous products in the 27 EU Member States and EFTA countries, promoting measures such as market withdrawal or sales prohibition. National authorities that can intervene include ASAE, ARAE, IRAE, AT, IMT, INFARMED, and the PSP.
The information has been shared to raise consumer awareness about this recall and the potential risks associated with the affected Opel models.
