What Happened
Your Audi's fuel pump flange is the part that connects the fuel pump to the fuel tank. It's like a small gasket that can crack over time, allowing gas to leak out.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks and gas leaks out, it could ignite if there's an open flame nearby, which could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Audi will inspect the flange and replace it if it's cracked, or apply a protective coating if it's fine. This repair is free, and you should get in touch with Audi as soon as possible to schedule the fix.
