Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
The problem
THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK COULD FAIL DURING HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. THIS FAILURE IS CAUSED BY BEARING TOLERANCES WHICH DO NOT ACCOMMODATE TEMPERATURE EXPANSIONS. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IN THE EVENT THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILS, IT WILL INTERRUPT THE FUEL SUPPLY TO THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY.
What owners should do
A MODIFIED FUEL PUMP, HOSE AND CLAMPS WILL BE INSTALLED.
