AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/10 Report--

Audi car is on fire again! A few days ago, foreign media reported that Audi announced that it would recall about 9000 cars, involving the 2013-2016 Audi A8 and Audi S8 models, due to the safety risk of spontaneous combustion.

The reason for the recall: there may be a risk of fuel leakage in the fuel supply system, and over time, the high-pressure fuel pump pipe may perforate and cause fuel leakage. Once the fuel encounters high-temperature components, in the case of sufficient heat or electric spark, the fuel may be ignited and there is a fire hazard.

It is understood that Audi has conducted investigation and analysis from June last year to January this year, but has not yet found the cause of the specific problem. According to the documents provided by Audi to NHTSA, "the root cause is still not clearly understood." Nevertheless, during that time, the company found a remedy to ensure the durability of the fuel supply line throughout the car's life cycle. "

Solution: after Audi recalls, under the operation of technicians, fuel pressure dampers are added to the fuel tank of the model free of charge.
