Vw Golf: Fuel May Leak

VW Golf Fuel Leak Recall Volkswagen is recalling 8 Golf vehicles because a manufacturing defect may cause the cylinder head to be out of specification, which could allow the fuel rail to loosen and leak fuel. A fuel leak could produce a fuel smell and, in rare cases, could potentially ignite in the engine compartment. Affected vehicles will have the cylinder head replaced.
