What Happened
The fuel tank rollover valve in your vehicle is a safety device that helps prevent fuel spills. Over time, the plastic parts can weaken and crack, especially if they get bent or damaged.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rollover valve cracks, fuel can leak out, and if there's an ignition source nearby, it could catch fire. This could cause serious damage to your vehicle and potentially put you at risk.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect and repair the rollover valve to prevent leaks, free of charge. This repair will be done starting in June 2011, and you'll be notified then.
