or faults.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, thefo llow‐

R operating status of sy stem components,
such as fill le vels, tyre pressure or battery

To that end, these data, in particular information
about component loads, tech nical events, mal‐ functions and
other faults may be transmitted
along with theve hicle identification number to
th e manufacturer. Furthermore, the manufac‐
turer is subject toproduct liability. Forth is rea‐
