What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your Audi Q7 or Q5 is the part that connects the fuel pump to the engine. In some 2007-2012 models, the initial repair job might not have sealed it properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump flange leaks, fuel could spill out and catch fire if there's an ignition source nearby, which could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the fuel pump flange and apply new butyl tape to seal it properly – all for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
