If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.

GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the rear-tank fuel-pump module, inspect the front tank and, if necessary, replace the front tank, free of charge.

2013-2016 Audi A8, S8

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2013-2016 Audi A8 and S8 vehicles. The fuel supply line for the high-pressure fuel pump may become porous and leak fuel. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of fire.

2014-2019 Acura ILX

Acura is recalling certain 2014-2019 Acura ILX vehicles. The vehicles may have a deformed fuel tank, raising the height of the fuel pump and allowing the fuel level float to stick, possibly causing the fuel gauge to display an inaccurate fuel level. If the fuel gauge displays that the vehicle has more gas than it actually does, the vehicle may run out of gas and stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Acura will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the fuel tank, free of charge.

2019 Ram 1500

Chrysler is recalling certain 2019 Ram 1500 vehicles equipped with a 12-inch touchscreen display and a base-level heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Vehicles with this combination do not have a functioning windshield defrosting and defogging system. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 103, “Windshield defrosting and defogging systems.”
