Volkswagen Recall WK: Vw/Filler Neck/Tire Abrasion
2002 Volkswagen Passat
Fuel leakage can occur increasing the risk of a fire.
Fuel System, Gasoline — Storage — Tank Assembly — Filler Pipe And Cap
- Summary
- On some passenger vehicles, the fuel tank filler neck can suffer abrasion damage if the rear tire goes flat and the vehicle is driven until the tire disintegrates.
- Actions
- Dealers will fit Passat vehicles with a new wheel house liner that will better protect the car's filler neck. Jetta vehicles will be fitted with a different metal shield designed to enhance abrasion protection in the event of tire disintegration. Owner notification began June 13, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
