What This Recall Means

Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

What Happened

The fuel pump flange in your Audi is a small metal piece that helps connect the fuel pump to the engine. Over time, it can crack and start to leak fuel.

Risk if Unfixed

If the flange cracks and leaks fuel, it could spill onto a hot engine or exhaust component, which could cause a fire. This is a serious risk, but it's not likely to happen if you're not driving or if you park your vehicle in a well-ventilated area.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Audi dealer will check the fuel pump flange for cracks and replace it if needed. If it's okay, they'll apply a protective film to prevent future cracks. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
