PARIS, June 2 (Reuters) - Renault (RENA.PA) could face prosecution in France over faulty engines as a group of customers plans to lodge a criminal complaint against the carmaker next week, the group's lawyer said on Friday. The decision to file the complaint follows unsuccessful discussions between Renault and the plaintiffs over the faulty engines, he added. A Renault spokesperson said the company had been providing technical support and financial help to affected customers. "The Renault Group never stopped and continues reviewing demands that it is receiving," the spokesperson said. "Support demands that could not be addressed have all been carefully reviewed and an answer has been given," Renault said.
