What’s wrong
The vehicles may have been manufactured with an improperly routed fuel tank vent line (i) having insufficient clearance to the exhaust pipe; (ii) which may cause it to become kinked. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles. A fuel tank vent line with insufficient clearance to the exhaust pipe may pose a fire hazard. A kinked vent line can cause the fuel tank to build pressure and expand. The expansion of the fuel tank may result in contact of the spinning prop shaft which may result in a fuel leak.
The fix
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and inspect the fuel tank vent line. Repair/reroute the vent line as necessary.

How to check your vehicle
Use the official DVSA checker with your registration number to see if your exact vehicle is included. If it is, the manufacturer should have written to the registered keeper. The repair is free, even if you bought the vehicle second-hand.
