This condition could cause the mounts to crack and in a worst case scenario the bonnet air intake garnish could fall off potentially creating a traffic obstruction.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new air intake garnish mountings.

    Fix: If any cracks are apparent the fuel tank will be replaced if no crack is visible a reinforcement plate will be fitted the check valve will be re-located.
