Defect
In the combustion heater used for cabin heating, the fuel pump in the burner head unit has been improperly manufactured on some units. Continued use in this condition may cause fuel to leak from the fuel pump. In the worst case, the leaked fuel may ignite from the heater's heat, resulting in a vehicle fire.
