According to the recall notice, nickel plating could detach and block moving parts in the fuel pump manufactured by Robert Bosch. The company released a statement saying that it is working closely with the automakers to support the recall. No accidents or injuries related to the issue have been reported and the automakers said the engine is more likely to not start than to stall.
