Concern

Leakage from fuel tank

Defect, as DVSA words it

As a consequence of broken or missing spot welds leakage from the fuel tank may occur at the fuel pump mounting flange.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the fuel tanks. Where any spot welds are broken or missing the fuel tank will be replaced.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
