2003 Audi A4 & 2003 Audi A6 + 1 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain vehicles produced from september 2002 - march 2003, equipped with 1.8L turbo, 2.8L V6, or 3.0L engines, a change in the electrical motor components in the fuel pump CAN lead to an inoperative fuel pump and, ultimately, stoppage of fuel supply to the engine causing it to stall.
💥 The risk
If fuel flow to the engine is interrupted, the vehicle could stall without warning and thus present a potential risk of crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install new fuel pumps free of charge. The recall began on april 10, 2006. Owners may contact vw at 1-800-222-8987 or audi at 1-800-822-2834.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
