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. Fuel return pipe may wear through

   Reported February 22, 2011Model years 2009–2010DVSA recall R/2011/01714,170 vehicles affected

   The fuel return pipe may rub against the diesel filter support and wear through, potentially causing a fuel leak. Protection will be added to the pipe to prevent wear.

   Official DVSA recall text

   Component

   FUEL MAY LEAK

   Defect

   On some 2.0 l HDI vehicles potential contact between the fuel return pipe and the diesel filter support may eventually cause the pipe to become worn through friction.

   Remedy

   The manufacturer has requested that some protection be added to the pipe to ensure its long-term resistance to wear.

3. Front brake hoses may deteriorate and leak

   Reported June 15, 2010Model years 2009–2010DVSA recall R/2010/064217 vehicles affected

   Contact with other components may wear the front brake hoses until they leak, reducing braking efficiency. Both front brake hoses will be replaced.

   Official DVSA recall text

   Component

   LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY.

   Defect

   Over a period of time it is possible for the front brake hoses to deteriorate through contact with other components. If left for some time it is possible that the brake hoses will leak fluid and there to be a loss of braking efficiency.

   Remedy

   Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace both the front brake flexi hoses.
