A Recall

There is a recall that was issued on 38,000 Volkswagens for a fuel problem. Later VW extended the recall to include another 6000 vehicles. The problem is concerning the cap seal at the fuel rail. If this sealing cap fails it can cause a leak of fuel into the engine compartment and possibly cause a fire. This is a problem in 2014 and 2015 VW Beetles fuel system and not with the VW Bus gas tank. Volkswagen will replace the necessary fuel rail parts to make your VW safe again.
