According to Volkswagen – Audi’s parent company, fuel lines have a compression point to make them easier to install. But, these can weaken over time and may start leaking fuel. Although there have been no reports of fires or injuries till now, this can increase the risk of a fire.

Owner whose cars have been affected will be notified starting February 5, 2018. Dealers will replace the faulty fuel lines free of cost.

Currently, only a certain number of cars sold in the US and Canada has been affected and there have been no reports of a similar recall in India.

While we have a global recalls thread for international recalls, lets keep this thread independent as it *might* affect cars sold in India too.
