Opel to recall Irish cars over fire safety

Opel is recalling more than 8,000 cars in Ireland for a second time due to an issue which can cause the car to go on fire.

It recalled thousands of cars in November 2015 after a fire risk was identified in the Zafira B model.

Opel said it was due to the improper repair of the blower motor resistor and its thermal fuse which is designed to protect the blower motor system.
