What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your Audi is a critical connection that seals the fuel pump to the fuel tank. In some 2007-2012 Q7 and 2009-2012 Q5 models, the temporary fix used to prevent fuel leaks may not be enough.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel leaks, it could ignite with an open flame or spark, causing a fire. This is a serious risk that could lead to damage to your vehicle and potentially harm you or others nearby.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the fuel pump flange with a new one and reapply the protective butyl tape, all at no charge to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
