2008 Audi TT recalls

Fuel system, gasoline: storage, tank assembly

NHTSA campaign 09V377000 · reported September 30, 2009 · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC · 10,200 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 audi a3, tt, and tt roadster passenger vehicles manufactured between september 29, 2005 and august 26, 2009. The closing force of an internal spring of the fuel tank ventilation valve is not adequate enough to hold the valve closed under extreme driving conditions possibly allowing fuel to leak.
The risk: In the presence of an ignition source, a vehicle fire could occur.
The fix: Volkswagen will notify owners and audi dealers will replace the fuel tank ventilation valve with an improved valve free of charge. The safety recall began on november 16, 2009. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-253-2834.

NHTSA campaign 08V064000 · reported February 7, 2008 · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC · 720 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Volkswagen is recalling 720 my 2008 audi tt coupe vehicles. These vehicles were produced with c-pillar trim cover clips that do not provide adequate retention.

The risk: The detached trim cover could pose a risk of personal injury for vehicle front seat occupants.
The fix: Dealers will install an improved clip on the affected vehicles. The recall began on march 7, 2008. Owners may contact vw/audi at 1-800-822-2834.
