2001-2004 Audi A6, S6, R6 Recalled For Fuel Tank Fire Risk - Motor Authority (blog)
Potential fire hazard or not, we still want an Audi RS6 in our driveway. The tank is where the fire risk in the recalled cars lies: a plastic valve that flexes with the aluminum ventilation line can age poorly, causing a leak, which, in the presence of some ignition source, could cause a fire. Like the problem, the fix is simple: owners can have Audi dealers reinforce the problematic plastic part and repair it if it's already leaking. You can also contact the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
