225,000 Vauxhall Zafiras are thought to be ‘at risk’ after 130 of them have caught fire over recent months/years.
Early investigations suggest a potential fault with the heating fan, pollen filter and resistor in cars repaired using a “non-Vauxhall approved” component.
Nearly 10,000 people have joined a Facebook page to discuss their fires etc

People fortunately have got time to pull over, stop and get out of the vehicle.
We haven’t had any cases yet of an accident or injury – to our knowledge – as a result of all of this but, yes, of course it’s serious.
