What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your Audi is a small component that connects the fuel pump to the engine. It's like a tiny seal that keeps fuel from leaking out.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump flange cracks, fuel can leak out. If you're near a spark, like when you're filling up or changing a tire, the fuel could ignite and cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect the fuel pump flange and either replace it if it's cracked or apply a protective film to prevent future damage. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
