In addition, affected automobiles with automated or manual transmissions could have a gas line (1.8T engines only) or gas tank ventilation valve (4Motion All Wheel Drive only) that can leak on account of fracture. A heat shield that may contact the exhaust system may end up in a vehicle fire. As well as, a gas leak from a gasoline line or gas tank ventilation valve, within the presence of an ignition supply, can lead to a car fire. Dealers will install additional underbody heat shields on automobiles with automated transmissions to cowl the presumably damaged areas and flash all 1.8T autos with a precautionary software replace. Dealers may even inspect and modify the fuel line routing on 1.8T automobiles and the fuel tank ventilation valve on 4Motion/All Wheel Drive vehicles, and substitute elements if necessary freed from charge. AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Volkswagen Group of America Inc. says it is voluntarily recalling about 410,000 gasoline powered Passats due to potential issues including harm to a heat shield. Volkswagen announced the recall Friday, saying no accidents or accidents have been recorded associated to the 1999 to 2005 model year Passats.
Some Passats with an automatic transmission could have an underbody heat shield that could be subject to damage. And a few with 1.8T engines have a gasoline line that requires potential alternative.
