502085448 1430149330454 jpg

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 6,200 model-year 2015 Volkswagen Golf, GTI and Audi A3 vehicles

The Problem: Improper nickel-plating of components within the fuel pump may cause it to fail. If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle won’t start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the car will stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any affected fuel pumps for free.

What Owners Should Do: Volkswagen has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may call Volkswagen at 800-893-5298, Audi at 800-253-2834 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 for more information.
