What's wrong, in plain English
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.
