Audi recalls over 10,000 2006-2010 A3 and TT models over potential fuel leak
Filed under: Coupe, Recalls, Hatchback, Audi
If you’ve got an Audi A3 or TT and like to drive it hard, you may want to check in with your local dealer, because a recall notice has been issued that is directly focused on enthusiastic drivers.
The action concerns a spring that holds the fuel tank ventilation valve closed. Under “extreme driving conditions”, the spring in question might not be strong enough to prevent gasoline from leaking out. And since that could start a fire, this recall strikes us as rather important.
The vehicles in question include some 10,200 A3s, TT coupes and TT Roadsters built between September 29, 2025 and August 26, 2009. Volkswagen of America will be contacting vehicle owners to notify them of the recall, and Audi dealerships will replace the faulty ventilation valves with an improved design free of charge. Full details in the recall notice after the jump.
