2007 Audi Q7

HEARD A LOUD "POP" THEN THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENTS IN MY 2007 AUDI Q7 3.6L FSI WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND DID SOME INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE INJECTOR AND THE FUEL RAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET WHEN THIS LEAK OCCURRED. THANKFULLY A SOMEONE NOTICED AND NOTIFIED ME THAT I WAS LEAKING SOMETHING WHICH TURN OUT TO BE FUEL. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH OCCURRED ON 01/19/2017 BY BUYING A INJECTOR SEAL KIT FROM THE DEALER. . UNFORTUNATELY I HAD ANOTHER INJECTOR FAIL ON ME ON 01/28/2017. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE 2011-2015 MODEL OF THE Q7. MY WIFE USES THIS VEHICLE FOR HER NEEDS WITH 4 CHILDREN INSIDE. THIS IS COPIED FROM THE RECALL DONE WITH THE SIMILAR ISSUE IN THE NEWER MODEL. NHTSA ID: 15V019 SAFETY RECALL 24AP FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM LEAK CERTAIN 2011-2013 MODEL YEAR S4, S5, A6, A7 & Q7 WITH 3.0L TFSI ENGINE HOWEVER, A LATER ANALYSIS CONCLUDED IF THE FUEL INJECTOR VALVE IS OUT OF POSITION DURING DRIVING, A LEAK CAN OCCUR AT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FUEL RAIL AND THE INJECTOR. ANY FUEL NEAR AN IGNITION SOURCE WILL BE A SERIOUS FIRE RISK. SIMILAR RECALL WAS STARTED MARCH 10, 2015 FOR THE 2011-2015 MODELS. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAILS AND SEALS. OWNERS OF THE AUDI S4, S5, Q7, A6, AND THE AUDI A7 CAN CONTACT AUDI AT 800-822-2834 AND REFER TO RECALL NUMBER 24AP. *TR
