What can go wrong

It has been identified that a batch of fuel injector pumps supplied as spare parts may have covers manufactured from a defective material. This could cause the pump covers to develop fissures which over time may lead to fuel leakage.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the fuel injector pump replaced.

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.
