EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the RC F in 1 alert. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The pulsation damper in one of the high pressure fuel pumps could be defective, leading to vibration which could cause the pump cover to develop a fatigue crack. The crack could expand and fuel may leak, which could lead to a vehicle fire.
