What is wrong
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Due to a problem with a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank, fuel may flow into the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system and possibly leak out of the charcoal canister.
What could happen
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
