Concern

Relay may overheat and catch fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles the diesel engine Glow Plug Control Module previously repalced under Recall R/2014102 may not be not waterproof and water ingress into the module may cause overheating with the potential to result in a fire. As the GPCM has a permanent electrical live feed there is also a potential risk of an unattended vehicle fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recheck those vehicles which may have had a suspect replacement fitted and replace module with correct waterproof version
