NHTSA recall 09V093000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: When certain driving conditions are accompanied by high ambient temperatures, the fuel tank ventilation valve may not remain fully closed. If this happens, liquid fuel may enter the fuel tank venting system and migrate into the evaporative system, saturating the carbon canister. Should this occur while driving, the vehicle may experience performance issues (i.e., vehicle jerking) and the malfunction indicator lamp…
Why it matters: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a vehicle fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank ventilation valve with an improved valve free of charge. The recall began on June 2, 2009.
