What can go wrong

Fuel may leak from a defective fuel pressure line. Although unlikely there is a potential that an external ignition source could ignite the fuel and result in a fire in the driver's side wheel arch area.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the fuel pressure line.

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.
