Land Rover and Jaguar engines oil leaks
The plastic used for the oil filter housing in some Jaguar and Land Rover petrol and diesel engines can crack over time. This can cause oil to leak into the engine and onto the road. Leaking oil can ignite when it comes into contact with hot engine parts, increasing the risk of fire. Over 8,000 vehicles built between 2023 and 2024 may be affected (see table at the end of the article).
Brakes on Audi and Porsche electric cars
Due to possible brake fluid leaks, most of the e-sports cars produced by Porsche and Audi so far have to be taken to authorised workshops. 149,847 Porsche Taycan and 35,370 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT cars are being recalled due to faulty brake hoses on the front axle.
Fuel pump at Honda
Honda has updated a four-year-old recall regarding problematic fuel pumps. An imperfectly molded impeller can crack and absorb fuel, deforming it and causing the fuel pump to stall. In this case, the engine will shut down while running or not start at all. The recall affects several models from 2017 to 2020.
