Tens of thousands of vehicles will be recalled due to the problem discovered.
Details were reported on Monday, December 23, by the press service of Rosstandart.
The initiator of the recall is the company OOO AGR, TASS reports.
It intends to recall 31,741 Skoda Rapid vehicles and 23,943 Volkswagen Polo vehicles that were sold between 2014 and 2023.
The reason lies in a serious problem that can be detected under certain conditions.
Prolonged engine operation at idle speed in combination with extremely low temperatures (below -35°C) leads to the accumulation of electrostatic charge on the surface of the fuel lines.
In extremely rare cases, this leads to the destruction of the fuel line material.
The experts will install a fuel filter ground wire to solve this problem.
The work lasts about 30 minutes and costs free, Rosstandart reported.
AGR will notify all owners of the recall independently.
Owners can also check on the Rosstandart website to see if their car is subject to recall.
To do this, you only need to compare the VIN code of the car with the list of vehicles included in the recall program.
