What can go wrong

The impeller of the fuel pump sited in the fuel tank may deform. This condition could increase the rotational resistance of the impeller and in the worse case the fuel pump may lock which may in turn result in the engine stalling.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel pump with a modified part.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
