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…
