Opel Zafira, Vivaro: Fuel leakage into the traffic area

12/01/2023

Worldwide, 21,596 Vivaro and Zafira manufactured between 2020 and 2022 are being recalled to the workshop. The reason for the action is a faulty routing of the fuel lines, which can lead to fuel leaking into the traffic area. In Germany, 6,855 vehicles are affected by the recall.

The fuel line will be checked in the workshop and, if necessary, a guard will be fitted. The KBA is monitoring the measure under the reference number “012350” and the internal manufacturer code is “KCH”.
