Volkswagen is recalling approximately 261,000 vehicles over potentially faulty fuel tank suction pumps.

Volkswagen said that due to a problem with a suction jet pump seal inside some affected fuel tanks, “fuel may flow into a separate evaporative (EVAP) emissions system and possibly leak out of the charcoal canister.”
A fuel leak can increase fire risks and potentially damage a vehicle or harm its occupants.
