Vehicles Affected: Approximately 6,000 model-year 2007-12 Audi Q7 SUVs and model-year 2009-12 Q5 SUVs
The Problem: These SUVs were previously repaired with an interim repair of installing butyl tape to the fuel pump flange until replacement remedy parts became available. However, the butyl tape may not prevent fuel from leaking, which in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
