Volkswagen suction pump recall alleges ‘frivolous’ lawsuit
Volkswagen said the class action lawsuit based on recalls, warranty extensions, and refunds should be dismissed. December 7, 2024 — The Volkswagen Suction Injection Pump recall should reportedly be enough to end the class-action lawsuit. The Audi and Volkswagen class action lawsuit involves suction injection pumps used to clear fuel from evaporative emissions (EVAP) systems. If the pump fails, fuel can accumulate in the EVAP system and leak through the canister filter. This can cause problems such as fuel spillage or premature stoppage of the fuel nozzles when refueling, as well as fuel odor in the vehicle. The class action lawsuit includes the following vehicles: 2015-2020 Volkswagen Golf 2015-2020 Audi A3 2021-2024 Volkswagen Daos Volkswagen's first recall for suction injection pumps was issued in 2016 and affected the 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3 and A3 Convertible. For 2022, Volkswagen is extending the suction injection pump warranty (AWA-22-12 and VWP-22-12) on 2015-2020 Volkswagen Golf and 2015-2020…

Volkswagen Intake Injector Pump Recall Investigation Completed
Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf suction jet pump problems have caused fuel leaks and other problems. July 4, 2024 — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s federal investigation into a second Audi and Volkswagen suction jet pump recall has concluded. In December 2023, NHTSA launched an investigation into the 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 vehicles that were recalled in September 2016 because of fuel leak problems in these vehicles. The suction jet pump removes fuel from the evaporative emissions system, but the pump may be damaged during assembly. This can cause fuel to flow directly into the evaporative emissions system. Fuel may leak from the canister filter, gasoline may spray out during refueling, and passengers may smell fuel. The 2016 recall was for a defective suction injection pump inside the fuel tank. Dealers were asked to replace the suction injection pump with an improved version. NHTSA launched the recall investigations after Audi and Volkswagen owners continued to complain of…
