Draughty garage door

I have just moved into a new build house. The integral garage door does not close properly and is draughty from all sides of the door . Is this a fire and car fume hazard?

The door must reliably self-close to the rebate stop of the door frame. The smoke seals around the perimeter of the door should seal the gap between the door leaf and frame. Similarly at the threshold, the seal should seal the gap or if the threshold gap is no greater than 3mm then a seal is not required.

These are requirements of BS 8214:2016 https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030332501
