An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Audi A7 SB 55Tq and 9 other models) - Repair. Defect in the fuel system (fuel gauge sensor). ■ Defective component (part name): Fuel system (fuel gauge sensor). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: In the fuel delivery module, inappropriate clearance between the fuel gauge sensor and the breather pipe may cause the sensor to catch on the pipe. As a result, the fuel gauge reading may not match the actual amount of fuel and may indicate more fuel than is present. Continued driving in this condition may cause the vehicle to run out of fuel and become unable to drive. Published 2022-07-21.
What to do now
(Recall notification number)外-3452 ■ Details of corrective measures: Replace the fuel gauge sensor on all vehicles with an improved part. Because preparing the improved parts will take time, a further notification regarding parts replacement will be issued once they are ready.
