2015 AUDI A8 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Audi A8 has 5 recalls, all carrying fire risk: fuel can leak from the fuel rails, a deteriorating fuel supply line to the high-pressure pump, and an engine compartment seal that can contact hot engine components. The fuel rail issue allows raw fuel to escape from either or both sides of the engine's fuel delivery system, where it can ignite if it contacts a heat source. Separately, the high-pressure fuel pump supply line can become porous over time and weep fuel in the same way. The engine compartment seal concern is structural rather than fuel-related: the seal around the hood's inner edge can work loose and press against hot engine parts, creating a fire risk through direct contact rather than a fuel leak. Any ignition source near leaking fuel raises the risk of an engine bay fire in all of these cases.
