The recall affects the following model lines:

“Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel delivery unit may fail causing the fuel pump to switch off,” the company says in its recall notice.

“If this occurs, it could impair the fuel supply to the engine resulting in a loss of power whilst driving.

“A loss of power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
