2.4 Product safety

Both the vehicle manufacturer and the body manufac-
turer must always ensure that they introduce their
scopes into the market in a safe condition and that
third parties are not at risk of any safety hazard. If this
is not adhered to they may be subject to civil, criminal
and public law consequences. Every manufacturer is
liable for the products it manufactures.

From this, it follows that the vehicle body/conversion
manufacturer therefore also bears responsibility for
the following:

• the operating and road safety of the body
• the operating and road safety of parts and modifi-

cations

• testing and maintaining the operating and handling

safety of the vehicle after the body/equipment is
mounted (the body and/or equipment must not
have a negative effect on the driving, braking or
steering characteristics of the vehicle)

• influences of parts on or modifications to the

chassis

• consequential damage resulting from the body,

attachment, equipment or modification

• consequential damage resulting from retrofitted

electrical and electronic systems

• maintaining the operational reliability and freedom

of movement of all moving parts of the chassis
after the body/equipment is mounted (e.g. axles,
springs, propeller shafts, steering, gearbox linkage,
etc.) even in the case of diagonal torsion between
the chassis and the bodies

2.4.1

Guarantee of traceability

Hazards in your body/equipment which become
known after delivery may necessitate supplementary
measures in the market (customer notification, warn-
ings, recalls). In order to make these measures as effi-
cient as possible, your product must be traceable after
delivery.

For this purpose and to enable federal or state vehicle
registers to be used for deter-mining which owners are
affected, we advise you to promptly file the serial
number/identification number of your equipment/
add-on part linked to the vehicle identification number
for the truck in your databases. Similarly, it is also
advisable to store the addresses of your customers for
this purpose and to grant subse-quent purchasers the
opportunity to register.
