The problem

The risk
This condition could lead to a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel supply line, if necessary. The recall is expected to begin during February 2008. Owners May contact vwoa at 1-800-822-8987.
