VW Calls In Jettas For Fuel Leak

WASHINGTON - Volkswagen AG is recalling 39,583 2005 Jetta sedans sold in the United States.

On these vehicles equipped with a 2.5l gasoline engine, a fuel supply line clamp located in the engine compartment may not be positioned properly and could cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), could result in a fire.

Dealers will inspect the position of the engine compartment fuel supply line clamp and, if necessary, replace the clamp. The recall is expected to begin July 2005.
