Concern

Potential fuel leaks

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a risk of the diesel return pipe rubbing against the alternator and there is a risk of leakage from the connections of the high pressure pipes to the injectors. It is possible that the high pressure pump supply pipe may wear against the acoustic protector.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Reposition or replace any chafing fuel pipes as appropriate. Check the union connections for correct tightness on the high pressure pipes to the injectors.

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 the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
