Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Multipla: Possibility Of A Fuel Leak And Risk Of Fire

Summary Fiat Chrysler is recalling 14 Multipla vehicles in the United Kingdom because a fuel pipe connection in the engine compartment may not be fitted correctly, which could cause fuel to leak and potentially start a fire. The company will fix the issue by installing a locking insert in the fuel connector to keep it secure.
