Audi has issued a recall for 10,200 vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recalled cars include the Audi A3 from the 2006-2010 model years, the Audi TT from 2008-2010 and the Audi TT Roadster from 2008-2010.

The recall is for vehicles manufactured between Sept. 29, 2005, and Aug. 26, 2009. The closing force of an internal spring in the fuel tank ventilation valve of these cars may not be strong enough to hold the valve closed under extreme driving conditions. This could cause the fuel tank to leak, and with an ignition source could cause a fire.

Audi dealers will replace the fuel tank ventilation valve with a stronger valve for free. Owners may contact Audi at 800-253-2834 or NHTSA at 888-327-4236.
