| Details | On certain vehicles, the fuel transfer pipe in the fuel tank assembly may have been kinked or over inserted into the fuel delivery module during fuel tank assembly. This could cause the vehicle to experience fuel starvation whilst indicating the presence of approximately ¼ tank of fuel on the fuel gauge. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will remove the fuel transfer pipe from the fuel delivery module, reduce the length of the pipe by 6 inches (150mm) and discard the excess pipe. The fuel transfer pipe will then be inserted into an alternative hole on top of the fuel delivery module to prevent over insertion and the tank re-assembled. |
