DETROIT (AP) — Volkswagen's Audi luxury brand is recalling nearly 75,000 cars and SUVs in the U.S. because fuel leaks in the engine could create fires.
The recall covers certain A6, A7, and Q7 SUVs from the 2016 through 2018 model years. Also included are A8 sedans from 2015 through 2018.
The company says in documents uploaded on Tuesday by the U.S. government that parts of the fuel injection system can drip, and if the fuel strikes an ignition source, it can catch fire. The documents didn't record any fires or injuries. A message was left on Tuesday for an Audi spokesman.
Dealers will replace the left and right fuel injector rails at no cost to owners.
Audi says owners will be notified by mail in mid-March.
