Recall 2004435

The issue

On certain vehicle equipped with TDI-PD (Pumpe-Düse) engines, the high-pressure diesel pumps were produced with improper fasteners. In rare cases, one of these improper fasteners may yield due to repeated cyclic loading and allow diesel fuel to escape from the high-pressure pump. Diesel fuel in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a fire. Additionally, due to the quantity of fuel that may be released, there is a crash risk posed to vehicles traveling behind the subject vehicle. Correction: Dealers will install a replacement diesel pump kit.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules équipés d'un moteur TDI-PD (Pumpe Düse), les pompes diesel haute pression comportent des dispositifs d'attache inadéquats. Dans de rares occasions, l'un de ces dispositifs d'attache pourrait se briser à cause d'un chargement cyclique répété et, ainsi, laisser du diesel s'échapper de la pompe haute pression. En présence d'une source d'inflammation, le diesel pourrait s'enflammer et provoquer un incendie. De plus, à cause de la quantité de carburant qui pourrait s'échapper, le véhicule se trouvant derrière le véhicule touché pourrait entrer en collision avec ce dernier. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un autre ensemble pompe à carburant diesel.
