The suction jet pump is a part inside your fuel tank that helps keep fuel from leaking into the air. In some 2015-2020 Audi and Volkswagen models, this pump's seal can fail, allowing fuel to escape into the EVAP system and potentially leak out through the charcoal canister.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks out of your tank and meets an ignition source, it could catch fire. This could cause damage to your vehicle and put you at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty suction pump with a new one, at no cost to you. This should be done as soon as possible, especially if your vehicle was previously recalled under 16V-647. You should contact your dealership to schedule the repair.
