LDV Deliver 9 Recalled Over Fuel Leak Risk — Check Your Van Now

If you own an LDV Deliver 9 — whether you're running it around Perth's suburbs or clocking up serious kilometres on WA's regional roads — this recall needs your immediate attention. LDV Australia has issued a recall covering 8,643 examples of the 2019 to 2023 LDV Deliver 9, and the fault in question is not a minor inconvenience. A defective low-pressure fuel delivery line could leak fuel, and in the presence of an ignition source, that means a potential vehicle fire.

What's the Problem?

According to the recall notice lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts, a manufacturing defect means the low-pressure fuel delivery line may not meet specifications. Over time, the line can deteriorate, allowing fuel to leak. The consequences range from a sudden loss of engine power while driving — a serious hazard whether you're merging onto the Mitchell Freeway or travelling between Geraldton and Carnarvon — to a full vehicle fire if an external ignition source is present.

The risk of injury or death to the driver, passengers, other road users, or bystanders is real. Property damage is also flagged in the official notice. This is not a recall to sit on.

It's also worth knowing this recall supersedes an earlier one issued in November 2024, which covered 11,962 examples of the 2021 to 2023 LDV Deliver 9 for the same fault. The current action expands coverage back to 2019 models and refines the affected vehicle count to 8,643 — so even if you thought your van was already dealt with, verify your VIN against the updated list.

Who's Affected and What Should You Do?

The recall covers LDV Deliver 9 vans stamped as 2019 to 2023 models. Some of these vehicles may have been sold after 2023, so the sale date alone doesn't rule you out. The only reliable way to confirm whether your specific van is included is to check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) against the full list published on the official Product Safety Australia recall database.

If your vehicle is affected, the fix is straightforward and free. Ateco Automotive, the Australian distributor for LDV, has confirmed that owners should contact their nearest authorised LDV dealer to book an inspection. If the fuel line needs replacing, it will be done at no cost to you.

For WA owners, this matters more than it might in other states. Long drives between regional centres — think the vast stretches of the Great Northern Highway or runs between the Pilbara and the coast — are not the place to experience sudden power loss or, worse, a fuel fire. Getting this sorted before your next big trip is the sensible call.

How to Get It Fixed

There are two easy ways to get the ball rolling:

• **Call LDV Australia directly** on **1800 716 894** to discuss the recall and locate your nearest dealer.
• **Book with your local LDV dealer** in WA — there are authorised service centres in Perth and across regional WA.

The repair is free of charge. There's no reason to delay. If your Deliver 9 is your livelihood — hauling tools, equipment, or stock across WA — having it off the road unexpectedly is a cost you don't need. Book the appointment, get it inspected, and drive with confidence.
