What can go wrong

There is a possibility that the wall thickness of the fuel tank may be thinner than specification due to improper tank moulding at the supplier. This may allow fuel to leak which could ignite if an ignition source is present.

The fix

On affected vehicles inspect walls of tank and replace where necessary

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.
