What is this? Some Fiat Professional Doblo and Scudo vans may have a fuel leak. A small part in the engine may not be shaped right. This can let fuel drip near hot parts.
What's happening? The leak can make fuel vapors. If the vapors touch hot parts, a fire could start under the hood.
Does this affect me? This affects vans in France and other listed countries. Check if your van is one of these models.
What should I do? Stop driving if you smell fuel. Ask a mechanic or Fiat dealer for a check. Do not try to fix it yourself.
