Plain-English summary

Robert Bosch LLC is recalling certain Fuel Delivery Modules manufactured between September 9, 2013, and April 16, 2014. These modules were installed in vehicles built by various manufacturers. The recall is due to improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump, which may result in the fuel pump failing.

If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall. This condition increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not specify the number of affected vehicles or the specific vehicle models involved.

Bosch has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the pumps. Owners of vehicles with the defective fuel pump will be notified by their respective vehicle manufacturers. The pumps will be replaced free of charge. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer for more information or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
