Vauxhall to recall fire-prone Zafiras

Vauxhall is to recall some of its Zafira models, after 130 of the cars were reported to have burst into flames.

The British car manufacturer is investigating the problem, which is affecting some vehicles made between 2005 and 2014.

Denis Chick, Vauxhall’s director of communications, said 225,000 of these were sold in the UK, but the firm will have “no idea” how many are at risk until further inquiries are made.
