TRW Automotive Aftermarket is appealing for increased focus on shock absorbers as part of its latest Corner Module campaign.

The business estimates that a quarter of all vehicles across Europe are risking lives by operating with at least one defective shock absorber and is using its considerable force to back product specific testing in annual MOTs.

TRW’s Denis Poncet, Senior Product Manager Steering, Suspension and Shock Absorbers Parts & Service Europe explained: “As safety critical parts, we are calling for compulsory component inclusion in annual vehicle services and periodic technical inspection (PTI) tests in all EU countries. The foundations of our business are built on safety and defective parts put lives at risk on our roads. We will work tirelessly to communicate this message at every level until we achieve our goal.”

In support of this, TRW has released four short videos focussed on its shock absorber programme which examine: range, programme investment, TRW’s unique +3 technology and its testing procedures. To access these videos, please click here : https://www.trwaftermarket.com/CornerModuleTV/
