In the fuel filter, the resin moulding surrounding the O-ring of the water level sensor is unsuitable, causing insufficient compression of the ring. This means that when the engine is started at low outside temperatures, the fuel might leak into the sensor and then out through the ventilation hole. This could lead to a fire.
The recall concerns vehicles with 1.6 diesel engine built between 2 January 2014 and 20 March 2014.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
