What is the danger
The product poses a risk of fire due to a material fault, the braces and screws holding the fuel-injectors may become detached, hampering the fuel feed to the engine and giving rise to irregular firing, loss of power and even fuel spillage. There may be smoke and a smell of diesel oil. Under extreme conditions, there can be a fire in the engine compartment. The company states that the firewall between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment is designed to allow the driver to bring the vehicle to a halt and leave it unharmed.
