What Happened
The fuel supply line in your Audi A8 or S8 is a tube that carries fuel to the engine. In some 2013-2016 models, this tube can develop tiny holes that let fuel leak out.
Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will install a special device called a fuel pressure damper to prevent fuel from leaking out. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
