Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Land Rover cars with a 2.0-litre diesel engine may have a fuel hose that rubs the wrong way. This can damage the hose and let diesel leak out.

What's happening? The rubbing hose could split and leak diesel onto hot parts or the road. This raises the risk of fire or injury.

Does this affect me? Owners in the UK, Spain, Finland, Croatia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden or Slovenia should check if their car is one of those affected.

What should I do? Stop driving the car and ask a Land Rover dealer or your nearest garage to inspect the fuel hoses.
