I HAVE NOTICED A FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT IS MY MOWER. THE NEXT DAY IT HAS GOT STRONGER AND I START GETTING NAUSEA AND HEADACHE. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE SHOWED ME THERE IS A FUEL LEAK ON THE TANK. THEY TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE FUEL PUMP. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. IT LEAKS LIKE THERE IS A WHOLE OR SOME THING IS BROKEN INSIDE THE COVERED AREA OF THE TANK WHERE THERE IS NO VISUAL ACCESS UNLESS IT IS OPENED. I THINK IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE TO FIX BEFORE SOMEONE BURNS ALIVE. *TR
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2007-2012 Audi Q7 and 2009-2012 Audi Q5 vehicles, previously repaired under NHTSA recall 16V-660. These vehicles were previously repaired with an interim repair of installing butyl tape to the fuel pump flange, until replacement remedy parts became available.
Consequence & remedy
