Concern

Short circuit may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is the possibility of water penetration into the vent hose resulting in water ingress into the vacuum pump over the wire harness and into the relay box. In the worst case a short circuit may lead to a risk of fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles add a spray deflector to avoid water ingress into the vent hose replace the electronic vacuum pump/relay box assembly and apply special grease to the electrical terminals.

What changed since we first read it
