- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 85V090000
- Manufacturer: VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA,INC
- Reported: 1985\-07\-18
- Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

## What is wrong

THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK COULD FAIL     DURING HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. THIS FAILURE IS CAUSED BY BEARING TOLERANCES   WHICH DO NOT ACCOMMODATE TEMPERATURE EXPANSIONS.                                                                                                                  CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IN THE EVENT THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILS, IT WILL INTERRUPT  THE FUEL SUPPLY TO THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC  HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY.


## The remedy

A MODIFIED FUEL PUMP, HOSE AND CLAMPS WILL BE INSTALLED.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS. SYSTEM: FUEL PUMP, INSIDE GAS TANK.
