Manufacturer

What Happened
The fuel pump flange on your Audi Q7 or Q5 is the part that seals the fuel pump. Some of these flanges were temporarily fixed with a special tape, but that tape might not be enough to prevent fuel leaks.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks onto a hot surface, it could ignite and cause a fire. You could be at risk of a fire if the fuel leak isn't fixed.
Free Fix
Audi will replace the fuel pump flange and add new tape to ensure the repair is secure, and this service is free. You'll get a notice when it's time to schedule the repair with your Audi dealer.
