Known Recall Investigations
Engine compartment fire investigation # EA11002
In july 2010, the agency opened pe10-027 to investigate allegations of coil on plug (cop) ignition coil fires in my2002-2003 vw passat vehicles.The investigation was upgraded in january 2011 to include all my2001-2007 4-cylinder vw passat, gasoline, turbo-charged vehicles.Based on the analysis of vws response, and including odis consumer complaints, odi has since identified 135 unique engine fire reports attributable to the cop coils.After further review of the details as contained in each report, odi determined that 43 of the 135 fire reports were actual fire/flame incidents, 83 fire reports were thermal events (smoke, spark, heat or wire melt), and another 9 fire reports were undetermined in severity due to the lack of information.These cop coil fires were characterized as initiated from within the cop coil circuit located at the top of the engine block and below the plastic engine cover.The fires observed were contained in the engine compartment and did not reach into the passenger compartment in contrast to those caused by an overheated catalytic converter examined in odi?S investigation in 2007 and 2008.There were no reports of crashes or personal injury in this examination.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor this issue and reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstancessee the closing report for additional details.
Fuel tank leak investigation # PE08008
Volkswagen (vw) is recalling certain vw passat 4motion and audi a6 quattro and allroad quattro all-wheel drive passenger cars.Vw vehicles subject to recall were manufactured from november 22, 2000 through may 31, 2005 and audi vehicles subject to recall were manufactured from june 2, 2001 to june 1, 2005.The nhtsa recall number for the vw vehicles is 08v-156 (vw also is correcting defects related to heat shield and fuel line hazards for these vehicles and for 1999-2000 passats in this recall action.)the nhtsa recall number for the audi vehicles is 08v-157.Since 2006, odi has received 17 complaints of fuel leaking from the subject vehicles fuel tanks.The 400 complaints shown above may include duplicate reports to odi and the manufacturer. While the consequence (fuel leaks from the top of the tank) is similar for both the passat and audi subject vehicles, differences in design and construction require a different remedy for each vehicle.On the passats, the ventilation line could have been installed improperly with tension and with an incorrectly positioned cable tie.The tension could cause cracked or broken nipples on the fuel tank rollover valve.On the audi vehicles, a material change (effective june 2, 2001) with different aging characteristics used for the rollover valve and the use of an inflexible aluminum ventilation line could cause cracking of the nipple on the rollover valve.Vw is recalling all vehicles subject to these defects.It will inspect passats to ensure that the vent line is tension free and correct the installation if tension is found.If a crack or fuel leak is found, vw will replace the fuel tank.Audi will repair all subject vehicles by reinforcing the fuel tank rollover valve with an epoxy adhesive.This investigation is closed.
Passenger engine compartment fires investigation # EA07014
The manufacturer notified nhtsa on 04-apr-08 that a safety recall action would be initiated to remedy the issue.In june 2008, the manufacturer issued a technical service bulletin (code 26e5/r5) regarding the specific procedures to be employed in this campaign.Vehicle owner notification letters were sent beginning approximately june 13, 2008.The campaign was assigned nhtsa no. 08v-156.This recall affects all my 1999-2005, 5th generation gasoline-powered passat sedans and station wagons.Approximately 412,000 vehicles are affected.Corrective action will consist of installing additional exhaust system heat shielding to mitigate the potential thermal effects of engine ignition problems.Based on this action, the subject ea has been closed.

While driving on a highway, the driver seat suddenly overheated (the seat warmer was turned on). It started with a burning smell. Excessive heat burned my leg a bit (some skin redness), before i realized what is happening and turned the seat warmer off. The seat leather now appears stiff and wrinkled (not soft and smooth like the rest of the leather) in the area where i felt the heat.

When you fill up the fuel tank it leaks it leaks a quarter of a tank of fuel roughly 4 to 5 gallons of fuel drip out there's a factory recall on this issue i took it to the volkswagen dealer paid money to have them inspect it and they said yes it's leaking at the factory recall i've had an independent dealer confirm that! Volkswagen will not do anything due to what they claim a remedy was done by moving fuel lines 10 years ago, obviously it was not or i would not have 4 gallons of fuel spill in my driveway vehicle is basically in operable and they want $3000 to put a new fuel tank in when it's a factory recall which never expires i have talk to the volkswagen rep and the only thing i have found in forums is do you have to go to volts wagon of america and fight them and this is ridiculous when they know they have an issue!! To drive this vehicle we never fill it over a half a tank of fuel so we do not leak fuel or explode while we're driving hopefully please help in anyway you can thank you
