The Australian Government has issued a recall notice affecting 2872 units of the GWM Ute Cannon sold from 2023 over concerns a manufacturing defect could lead to fuel leaks.A statement from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts said: “During the installation of the diesel fuel filter assembly, the incorrect lubricant type was used on the fuel filter sealing rubber ‘O-ring’.“As a result, the sealing may reduce over time, allowing fuel to leak from the filter housing. Fuel leak in the presence of an external ignition source could result in a vehicle fire.”The Department said vehicle fires can increase the risk of severe injury, death and property damage for vehicle occupants and bystanders.Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by GWM in writing requesting they schedule an appointment at their nearest GWM dealer to have their vehicle's O-ring replaced, free of charge.Owners can see whether their vehicle is impacted by checking their VIN number here.
