Chinese brand LDV has put out an urgent recall for thousands of its Deliver 9 vans in Australia.The recall concerns 8643 Deliver 9 examples from the 2019 to 2023 model years relating to a fuel leak issue, according to a Department of Infrastructure notice. “Due to a manufacturing defect, the low-pressure fuel delivery line may not meet specifications,” the notice reads.“As a result, it may deteriorate allowing fuel to potentially leak resulting in loss of motive power whilst driving, and in the presence of an external ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.”A spokesperson for LDV Australia said there have been no reported incidents of the issue occurring in Australia. Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local LDV dealer to make an appointment for inspection and subsequent fuel line replacement if required, free of charge. This latest recall notice supersedes the one published back in late 2024, which concerned nearly 12,000 Deliver 9 units from the 2021 to 2023 model years - also relating to a fuel leak issue.The Deliver 9 has been a steady seller in the segment up against other full-load vans like the Isuzu N-Series and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
