Reason for recall: It has been identified that on vehicles fitted with fuel tanks which incorporate an internal breather pipe the breather pipe may not be to specification. This may result in swelling and cracking of a grommet and detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. In this condition fuel may enter the breather pipe resulting in MIL illumination fuel odour and drivability concerns such as hesitation misfiring stalling rough running or difficult starting. In the worst case fuel may be discharged onto the ground.
