Defect: On certain petrol vehicles, the mounting hooks for the jet pump may not have been manufactured to specification. If the mounting hooks fail, it will result in the jet pump detaching from the module and a possible fall in fuel pressure. This fall in fuel pressure could either result in the engine not starting or, in worst cases, causing the engine to cut out or stall. This could affect the driver’s ability to control the vehicle.
Remedy: Recall all likely to be affected vehicles to install an additional clip to the jet pump.
