What can go wrong

An insufficient paint adhesion to the fuel tank sheet metal surface could lead to corrosion resulting in a fuel odour/leak.

The fix

The fuel tank will be checked for delamination of the paint surface and wax applied as a preventative measure. If necessary the fuel tank will be 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.
