SsangYong recalls multiple 2015-2020 diesel models due to fire risk

SsangYong has issued a recall for diesel-powered 2015-20 Korando, Tivoli, and Tivoli XLV models due to a potential fuel leak.

“If the fuel supply hose develops a crack and fuel leaks, there is a possibility that fuel may ignite, resulting in a fire.”

A fire could cause an accident and injure or kill the vehicle’s occupants or others near the vehicle.
