The 2007 Audi Q7 has 3 recalls, all centering on the same fire risk: a cracked fuel pump flange that can leak fuel and ignite if it contacts an ignition source.
The fuel pump flange can develop fine cracks that allow raw fuel to escape from the tank area. Earlier repair attempts addressed this with a butyl tape interim fix, but that tape may not hold a reliable seal, leaving the leak risk unresolved on vehicles that received only that temporary repair. The correct remedy involves replacing the flange rather than relying on the tape. Because all three recalls trace back to this single defect and its incomplete prior repair, any 2007 Q7 with a gasoline engine should be checked to confirm whether a permanent fix has been applied.
