2005 Audi Allroad recalls

Fuel system, gasoline: storage, tank assembly

NHTSA campaign 08V157000 · reported April 8, 2008 · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC · 68,240 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Volkswagen is recalling 68,240 my 2001-2004 audi a6 quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7l, 2.8l, or 3.0l engines and my 2001-2005 allroad quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7l or 4.2l engines. The aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple may lead to cracking of the nipple. If this happens, a fuel leak may result.
The risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a vehicle fire.
The fix: Dealers will reinforce the nipple on the rollover valve to prevent leakage or repair the cracking at the nipple. The recall began on june 27, 2008. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.

Electrical system

NHTSA campaign 06V198000 · reported June 5, 2006 · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC · 70,512 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with halogen low beam headlights, certain connector pins in the headlight switch connector come into contact with each other causing a short circuit. Note: vehicles with xenon low beam headlights are not affected because the circuit in these vehicles contains a fuse, which precludes excessive current flow in the case of a short circuit. Audi s6 and s6 avant vehicles are all equipped with xenon low beam headlights and, therefore, are not longer affected by this recall.
The risk: This condition could lead to overheating or fire.
The fix: Dealers will reroute the wiring harness by installing a jumper wiring harness. The recall began on december 16, 2006. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
