Summary

The 1980 Rover 3500 has 2 recalls, the most serious being a fuel hose that can seep fuel near the tank, creating a fire risk. The second recall concerns the brake master cylinder, where heat can trigger a chemical reaction between brake fluid and a metal spring inside the secondary piston chamber. This reaction produces hydrogen gas that increases the distance the piston must travel, reducing the effectiveness of the rear brakes and extending stopping distances.
