Despite being a relatively new model in the Audi range, the A7 has become popular for its combination of SUV-like practicality and mid-size sedan dimensions. A large cargo area lives under a long hatchback, and forward of that is a cabin that highlights Audi's commitment to smooth integration of high-tech user interfaces. Forced-induction engines -- include an available diesel -- and Quattro AWD are standard.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a small amount of fuel may leak from one or both fuel rails.
Safety Risk:
Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the left and right fuel rails replaced.
On certain vehicles, the auxiliary heater connector may not have been properly inserted into the auxiliary heater. This could lead to increased resistance in the auxiliary heater circuit, increasing the risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the auxiliary heater and connector if necessary.
On certain vehicles, a problem with the passenger occupant detection system can cause illumination of the airbag warning light and the airbag system may not properly classify the front passenger. In the event of a crash, the airbag system may not function properly, increasing the risk of injury to a front passenger. Correction: Dealers will install a passenger occupant detection system repair kit.
On certain vehicles, the fuel line may weaken and leak over time due to an issue during the manufacturing process. This could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected fuel line.
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with airbag and/or pretensioner igniters that do not meet specifications. This could cause affected airbags and/or pretentioners to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace affected airbag and/or pretentioner.
On certain vehicles, the under hood fuel hose may degrade, which could result in a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the under hood fuel hose and the in-tank fuel pump.
On certain vehicles, a fuel leak may occur in the fuel injection system under certain driving conditions. Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding fuel injector seals.
