What can go wrong

An incorrect surface treatment on the fuel filter collar may lead to breakage of the diesel filter strap resulting in vibration and noise from the engine compartment. In the case of any mechanical pulses when driving with a broken strap or as a consequence of an accident this could result in breakage of the fuel pipes with subsequent leakage.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the diesel filter strap.

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.
