Volkswagen is recalling certain front-wheel-drive Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf, Golf Sportwagen, GTI, and Jetta vehicles. A seal on a suction jet pump inside the fuel tank may fail, allowing fuel to flow into the evaporative emissions system and possibly leak out of the charcoal canister. A fuel leak near a source of ignition can increase the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the suction pump. This recall replaces an earlier recall, so vehicles already repaired under it will need the new repair.

Your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system is supposed to warn you when tire pressure gets too low. In these vehicles, if all four tires lose air pressure at the same time, the system may not detect this quickly enough to warn you. This means you might not get a timely alert if every tire loses pressure at once. Dealers will fix the problem by updating the tire pressure monitoring software at no cost.

These Audi vehicles have a system that senses whether the front passenger seat is occupied and turns the passenger airbag on or off accordingly. This system may malfunction and shut off the passenger airbag even when someone is sitting in that seat. If the airbag is switched off while a passenger is there, it will not be available to help protect that person.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
NHTSA lists 3 safety recalls covering the 2018–2020 Audi A3. 2 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Audi, VW Fuel Tank Seal May Cause Leaks" (NHTSA campaign 24V110000), reported Feb 14, 2024.
Which Audi A3 model year has the most recalls?
The 2019 Audi A3 has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2018 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 2. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Audi A3?
No. None of the 3 Audi A3 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Audi A3 has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Audi dealer, including for second owners.
