Overview

• Tourism counselor Luis Martínez Abad revealed during a July 4 press conference that multiple martens were filmed under the vehicles
• A Guardia Civil report confirmed that wildlife activity severed ABS brake cables and ruled out deliberate human sabotage
• The vehicle manufacturer noted that the ABS cable material emits an odor that attracts martens, explaining the early 2025 incidents
• Since February, cars have been parked in an elevated, enclosed area to prevent animal access and no further damage has been recorded
• A later truck tire puncture reported by Comisiones Obreras was officially deemed accidental and unrelated to the brake cable incidents
