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.'

Polestar offers end of financial year discounts of up to $29,000
Polestar is offering sizeable end of year discounts across its three-model electric vehicle (EV) lineup until June 30, 2025 or while stocks last. A free Plus Pack upgrade is now available for selected pre-configured Polestar 3 large SUV, Polestar 4 mid-size SUV and 2025 Polestar 2 fastback vehicles ordered between June 2 and June 30, 2025, and delivered by July 31, 2025. Polestar says that for vehicle configurations with or without the Plus Pack, an equivalent discount will be applied, ie: $3900 for the MY25 Polestar 2, $8000 for the Polestar 4 and $9000 for the Polestar 3. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . The Plus Pack discount offer cannot be combined with any other Polestar campaign incentives, fleet incentives, finance offers, or discounts, except for the Drivetrain Upgrade now also available for pre-configured Polestar 3s. Indeed the biggest discounts are reserved for the Polestar 3 flagship electric SUV, in the form of a free dual-motor powertrain valued at up to $20,000, in addition to the free Plus Pack upgrade valued at $9000. Polestar 3 buyers will therefore not only receive a Long range Dual motor version for the price of a Long range Single motor, but also a complimentary Plus pack bringing several interior, exterior, comfort and charging upgrades. Among the pre-configured examples listed as being available in New South Wales on the Polestar Australia website is a MY25 Polestar 3 Long range Dual motor for $115,654 drive-away, rather than $142,954 drive-away – a saving of $27,300. Both the range-wide Plus Pack upgrade and the Polestar 3 drivetrain upgrade applies to all pre-configured vehicles ordered between June 2, 2025 and June 30, 2025, and delivered by July 31, 2025. Buyers of pre-configured MY23 and MY24 Polestar vehicles ordered by June 30 will also pay just $54,000 drive-away for the entry-level rear-wheel drive variant – down from the normal price of $62,400 before on-road costs. Until June 30, Polestar Australia is also offering new customers a $200 saving on the purchase and standard installation of a solar-ready Evnex home charger. End of financial year novated lease deals are also available for the Polestar 2 and Polestar 4, priced from $199 and $249 per week respectively, including running costs. This is based on a fully maintained novated lease administered by Leaselab over a five-year term, after which a residual value of 28.13 per cent of the purchase price is payable.
