Why it's dangerous
Injuries
The DV5R engine may experience a loss of power due to slippage of the water pump pulley. This slippage can cause misalignment of the timing belt, potentially resulting in engine shutdown. The sprocket of the water pump pulley may detach from the shaft, which can lead to the loss of parts on the road and increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
The product does not comply with 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.
