2019 Toyota Mk.6 HiAce Commuter: diesel fuel leak from common rail

In October 2019, recall campaign UGG45 was issued for Toyota Mk.6 HiAce Commuter vehicles that were supplied between 29 May 2019 and 27 September 2019. Due to a production fault, there may be a lower than specified tightening torque of the fuel inlet pipe that supplied the diesel injector common rail and this could allow fuel to leak. Leaking fuel could cause the engine to stall and increased the risk of a collision or injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the fuel pipe was to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17844.
