A faulty cable connection between the engine and the driver's area.

The source does not give the generation, and both the Duster II and Duster III were built in that period.

Check by VIN with Dacia whether the car is in campaign 0EFZ and whether it has been done. If the airbag light and other warnings come on together, or the car loses drive, do not carry on: call for assistance. The garage checks the connector between the engine and the cabin.
