Due to a problem with a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank, fuel may flow into the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system and possibly leak out of the charcoal canister.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
What to do
Dealers will replace the suction pump free of charge.
Vehicles that were recalled for this issue in 2016 will need to have the new remedy completed.
Owners will be notified by letters that letters are expected to be mailed April 12, 2024.
Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at (800) 893-5298 or Audi customer service at (800) 253-2834.
