2008 Audi TT recalls

Recall 09V-377: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Sep 30, 2009 · 10,200 vehicles affected · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC

Problem: Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 audi a3, tt, and tt roadster passenger vehicles manufactured between september 29, 2005 and august 26, 2009. The closing force of an internal spring of the fuel tank ventilation valve is not adequate enough to hold the valve closed under extreme driving conditions possibly allowing fuel to leak.

Risk: In the presence of an ignition source, a vehicle fire could occur.

Fix: Volkswagen will notify owners and audi dealers will replace the fuel tank ventilation valve with an improved valve free of charge. The safety recall began on november 16, 2009. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-253-2834.

Recall 08V-064: Structure

Reported Feb 7, 2008 · 720 vehicles affected · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC

Problem: Volkswagen is recalling 720 my 2008 audi tt coupe vehicles. These vehicles were produced with c-pillar trim cover clips that do not provide adequate retention. In the event of a deployment of the rear pyrotechnic safety belt, the c-pillar trim cover may become detached from the sheet metal due to low retention force of the trim clip.

Risk: The detached trim cover could pose a risk of personal injury for vehicle front seat occupants.

Fix: Dealers will install an improved clip on the affected vehicles. The recall began on march 7, 2008. Owners may contact vw/audi at 1-800-822-2834.

Electrical System · at 41,000 miles · reported Jan 18, 2014

My 2008 audi tt would constantly beep with "right rear light" or "left rear light" with an x through a light bulb symbol popping up on the screen in between the tachometer and the speedometer. If I applied the brakes, the x through a light bulb symbol would go away.
