What can go wrong

The possibility exists due to a lack of clearance between the battery positive cable and the number 1 cylinder fuel injector that the cable may chafe on the injector nut and that a short circuit may ensue.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the cable inspected and re-routed as required. Additionally the cable will be secured with a modified clip.

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.
