  28. Fuel tank locking ring may be loose

    Reported May 23, 2017Model years 2017DVSA recall R/2017/153958 vehicles affected

    The fuel delivery module retaining ring may be incorrectly fitted, allowing fuel to leak and potentially create a fire or skid hazard. It will be inspected and tightened to specification if needed.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    LOCKING RING MAY BE INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED
    Defect

The driver may smell an increase in fuel odour and in some circumstances with the vehicle static there could be liquid fuel underneath the rear of the vehicle which in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire. It is also possible for fuel to leak onto the road surface which in the case of diesel fuel can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the fuel pump module retaining ring ensuring it is tightened to the correct specification if required.

    Reported August 3, 2016Model years 2015–2016DVSA recall R/2016/13174,118 vehicles affected

    Fuel hoses may chafe against the engine cover and wear through, causing a diesel leak. Fuel could reach the exhaust manifold, creating a fire hazard, or the road, creating a skid hazard. The retaining posts will be shortened, washers secured, and damaged hose parts replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    FUEL MAY LEAK
    Defect

The fuel hoses can over time chafe through the protective sleeve and fuel hose. Should the fuel hose wear through there will be an increased diesel fuel odour due to diesel fuel leaking. If this warning is ignored diesel fuel may leak onto the exhaust manifold (potential fire hazard) or onto the road surface (potential skid hazard).
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and ensure the securing washers are pushed fully home. Additionally remove 8mm from the plastic moulded retaining posts. The tape wrapped around the fuel hose protective sleeve and the fuel hose will be visually inspected and replaced if there are signs of damage.
