Recall 87V157000: Fuel Vapors Escape Charcoal Filter

Repeated topping off of fuel tank during refueling reduces the expansion space within the tank allowing vapors to escape from the charcoal filter to outside rather than being inducted into the engine. Escaping vapors could ignite by heat emitted by the exhaust system.

Install redesigned filler neck and a new vent valve and hose for charcoal filter. also, stop refueling when pump nozzle shuts off.

SYSTEM: FUEL TANK

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TURBO AND TURBO QUATTRO PASSENGER CARS.
