What is wrong

The risk
Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, may cause a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel supply line for tension, and inspect the fuel pump supply nipple for cracking. If necessary the fuel line and the fuel pump will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on july 25, 2005. Owners may contact volkswagen at 1-[removed].
