  1. Fuel heater may cause a fuel leak

    Reported December 9, 2015Model years 2012–2014DVSA recall R/2015/241EU Safety Gate A12/1317/1589,831 vehicles affected

    A defective fuel heater may overheat its electrical connector, distort the cover and let air into the fuel circuit, making the engine difficult or impossible to start. A diesel leak may also develop. The cover will be replaced and the connector inspected and replaced if necessary.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    FUEL MAY LEAK
    Defect
    The fuel heating device integrated in to the diesel fuel filter cover may be defective and allow heat to build up within the electrical supply connector causing the cover to distort and air to enter the fuel circuit. This could make the vehicles difficult to start and a warning light will be illuminated on the dash board. The engine could be difficult or not possible to start. In the worst cases a diesel fuel leak could eventually appear.
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel heater cover. Additionally the electrical connector will be inspected and where necessary replaced.

  2. Steering column link bolt may be too loose

    Reported August 31, 2013Model years 2011DVSA recall R/2013/096142 vehicles affected
