Vehicles: LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT, LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. Units affected: 1,672

Reason

The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.
