Concern

Engine may stop without warning

Defect, as DVSA words it

Retaining bolts for the timing chain tensioners and cam shaft drive may not have been tightened to the correct specifications. This may cause the timing chain to slacken and with continued use engine damage.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles replace timing chain tensioners. Check tensioner guide and camshaft drive retaining screws and if necessary tighten to correct specifications.
