Ford Puma recalled for fire risk
Ford is recalling more than 5000 examples of its discontinued Puma light SUV as a fuel line defect could lead to a fire.
'Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel line sleeve may chafe against the support bracket and become damaged,' the company says in its recall notice.
'If this occurs fuel may leak, potentially resulting in loss of motive power while driving, and if in the presence of an external ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.
'A loss of motive power or vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.'
