NHTSA recall 06V017000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain vehicles produced from September 2002 - March 2003, equipped with 1.8L turbo, 2.8L v6, or 3.0L engines, a change in the electrical motor components in the fuel pump can lead to an inoperative fuel pump and, ultimately, stoppage of fuel supply to the engine causing it to stall.
Why it matters: If fuel flow to the engine is interrupted, the vehicle could stall without warning and thus present a potential risk of crash.
The fix: Dealers will install new fuel pumps free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2006.
