What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Audi a6 and Audi a7 vehicles. The affected vehicles have a fuel hose in the engine compartment that may degrade and leak fuel.

Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The fix: Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the under hood fuel pump and fuel hose, free of charge. The recall began November 2016.
