(2) Due to the insufficient pressure resistance of the internal parts of the high-pressure fuel pump of the vehicles within the scope of this recall, the internal wear of the fuel pump may occur, resulting in cracks in the welded parts of the fuel pump due to stress concentration. In extreme cases, fuel may leak from the cracks, so there is a risk of fire when it comes into contact with external fire sources. At the same time, fuel leakage and volatilization pose unreasonable emission hazards.

Recall measures:
