What can go wrong

The starter motor cable may be incorrect in the 3.0L diesel engine specification vehicles. As a result it can contact the right hand engine mounting and abrade the insulation and expose the wires. The driver should notice warning lamps engine stalling melting of plastic components and smoke from under the bonnet. In extreme circumstances a fire could develop.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the condition and routing of the starter motor cable. Where necessary the cable will be replaced and/or the cable rerouted.

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.
