Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "Volkswagen" is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Audi Q5, and 2007-2012 Audi Q7 vehicles equipped with gasoline engines. The fuel pump flange on the affected vehicles may crack, allowing fuel to leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
