Vacuum handle or body has visible cracks after a drop and performance is affected

Safety first: Remove the battery immediately after any significant impact. Do not use the vacuum if the battery casing is damaged.

• Inspect for damage: Check the handle, body, and bin for cracks, especially near latches and joints.
• Check function: If the vacuum still runs, verify that the bin and filters seal properly and that there are no unusual noises.
• Avoid tape fixes: Do not rely on tape or glue for structural repairs in load-bearing or sealing areas; this can compromise safety and performance.
• Replace damaged shells: Replace the cracked housing parts (handle shell, main body shell, or dust bin) with genuine Bosch parts.
• Service if severe: If internal components are visibly displaced or the unit vibrates excessively, have it inspected by a technician.
