NHTSA recall 92V058000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The fuel hose attached to the fuel distribution rail on the engine may shrink beyond the clamp force of the fuel hose clamps, allowing fuel to leak.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage in the engine compartment can cause an underhood fire if the fuel comes in contact with a source of ignition.
The fix: Replace the fuel hose attached to the fuel rail and install a new spring type self-tightening clamp.
