NHTSA recall 05V154000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with gasoline engines and double-layer fuel tanks, tension on the fuel supply line may cause the fuel pump supply nipple to crack which could result in a leak.
Why it matters: Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, may cause a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel supply line for tension, and inspect the fuel pump supply nipple for cracking. If necessary the fuel line and the fuel pump will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2005.
