Concern

Ventilation line may rub against positive battery cable

Defect, as DVSA words it

Due to inappropriate routing the ventilation line might rub against the battery positive cable which can cause a leakage over time. If leakage occurs fuel vapours will enter the engine compartment causing the risk of fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fuel tank ventilation line. If damaged the ventilation line will be replaced. In all cases an additional clip will be attached between the tank ventilation line and the battery positive cable.

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. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
