Is this a different recall to the one that I've just had (fuel hose issue)?

Yes, it's a different issue (and not yet a recall)

A plastic component that melts and in some circumstances catches fire.

The chinese bought this engine as a turnkey project from an Austrian contractor having previously paid off many of their european engineering staff and have not themselves had the facilities to stay on top of the design faults inherent in this engine.

Time to put aside any residual warm feelings for the brand.
