Concern

Oil may leak engine may stall

Defect, as DVSA words it

Due to insufficient sealing of the timing chain tensioner gasket the timing chain tensioner may loosen and an oil leak may occur from the engine. If t the vehicle continues to be driven engine oil could leak onto the road and the engine might stall due to low oil level. In an extreme case and in the presence of an ignition source there may be an increased risk of a fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles replace the timing chain tensioner gasket with new.
