The fuel supply hose of the 1.3 TCe can partially disconnect from the engine, with a risk of leaks and, in serious cases, fire. The recall concerns vehicles built in Busan between September 2019 and September 2023; the replacement hose is free of charge.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
No recurring fault documented for: dCi 130.
An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
