2021 MG MG3: faulty fuel fuel-tank retaining bolts

In June 2021, recall campaign MG3STRP was issued for 2021 MG MG3 vehicles. In these vehicles, the fuel-tank strap retaining bolts may be faulty and could fail. This could result in movement of the vehicle’s fuel tank, and it could detach from the vehicle. If this occurred, fuel may leak from the tank, which could result in a fire and/or accident, thereby increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, an MG dealer was to replace the fuel-tank retaining bolts. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-001632.
