Known Safety Recalls

Critical #09V377000 Plain English
Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer
VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
What Happened
The fuel tank ventilation valve in your Audi is a small part that helps control the air pressure in the tank. It's like a tiny valve that keeps the tank from building up too much pressure, but in some cases, it can fail to close tightly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the valve fails, fuel can leak out and ignite, causing a fire. This is a serious risk, especially if you're driving and there's an ignition source nearby.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the faulty valve with a new one that's designed to work correctly, and it's absolutely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
