Volkswagen is recalling 5,992 2001-'04 Audi A6, 2003 Audi RS6 and 2002-'03 Audi S6 models because a fuel system flaw could lead to a vehicle fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"The aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple may lead to cracking of the nipple," said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. "If this happens, a fuel leak may result. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a vehicle fire."
The recall is expected to begin in June. Owners can contact Audi at 1-800-822-2834.
