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…

Hyundai’s futuristic hydrogen battle tank fits video
This futuristic tank even includes a drone that can be deployed outside the roof go through Brad Anderson November 1, 2024 21:08 Development of the next-generation tank will likely be completed by 2030, followed by deployment in 2040. Hydrogen powertrains are more suitable for the battlefield than all-electric powertrains. Equipped with autonomous capabilities and radar-absorbent paint, it is designed for stealth operations. No, the futuristic tank you see is neither a prop from a Hollywood movie set nor something lifted out of a video game. Instead, it's Hyundai's vision for a next-generation main battle tank that will eventually use a sophisticated hydrogen fuel cell powertrain. This may well be the future of warfare. This isn't the first time we've seen this interesting tank. Officially known as the "main battle tank", also known as the K3, the concept was first unveiled 12 months ago at the Seoul International Aerospace & Design Exhibition. Since then, Hyundai Rotem, the automaker's heavy industry arm,…

Volkswagen suction jet pump recall sparks class action lawsuit
The suction jet pump in the fuel tank of Audi and Volkswagen may cause fuel leakage and odor. August 16, 2024 — A Volkswagen suction jet pump class action lawsuit has been filed, months after Audi and Volkswagen announced recalls to replace suction jet pumps. The lawsuit includes: “Any person or entity who purchases or leases a 2015 to 2020 Volkswagen Golf, 2015 to 2020 Audi A3, or 2021 to 2024 Volkswagen Taos vehicle (Class Vehicles) in the United States (including its territories and the District of Columbia).” Volkswagen was allegedly aware of the problem with the suction injection pump in 2015, and VW did recall some vehicles in 2016.

The driver of the Volkswagen that was traveling at 122 mph claimed that he had a gas tank emergency, then
One Tiguan driver said she reached speeds of 122 mph as the gas in the tank ran out quickly. After initially stopping to wait for police to catch up, she sped off again, sparking a second chase. Police eventually forced her car into a ditch and subdued the repeat offender. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes in life, and driving is no exception. But some people keep making bad decisions. One woman driving a Volkswagen Tiguan through eastern Arkansas is one example. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); While no names have been revealed, we do have some important details about the female driver involved. The chase took place just after 3 a.m. on April 7, 2024, in West Memphis, near the Tennessee-Arkansas border.

Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled over fire risk
General Motors is recalling 8,600 trucks due to a fuel pump problem that can cause fuel leaks. July 4, 2024 — More than 8,600 General Motors trucks are at risk of fire due to fuel pump problems that cause fuel leaks. The recalled 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and 2024 GMC Canyon trucks are equipped with a locking ring that secures the fuel pump to the fuel tank assembly, but it may not be fully locked during assembly. This could result in a fuel leak in a crash, which could cause a fire. In March, the fuel tank supplier contacted GM after discovering that the tank locking ring was not fully tightened. “The supplier determined that during production between February 19, 2024 and March 18, 2024, the machine used to engage the lock ring was misaligned, which may have caused the lock ring to partially engage.” — General Motors Recall letters for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are expected to be…
