SsangYong has issued a recall for diesel-powered 2015-20 Korando, Tivoli, and Tivoli XLV models due to a potential fuel leak.
“As a result of driving the vehicle for a long time, a micro crack may develop in the fuel supply line hose and may result in a fuel leak,” the company says in its recall notice.
“If the fuel supply hose develops a crack and fuel leaks, there is a possibility that fuel may ignite, resulting in a fire.”
A fire could cause an accident and injure or kill the vehicle’s occupants or others near the vehicle.
- A total of 374 vehicles are affected.
- It affects Korando models from model years 2019 to 2020 and Tivoli and Tivoli XLV models from model years 2015 to 2020.
