(VW) recall 16V-647. Recall 16V-647 was issued on September 2, 2016, for a defective suction jet pump (SJP) inside the fuel tank. Failure of the SJP could lead to a fuel leak from the vehicle. This recall covered certain model year (MY) 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 passenger car vehicles. The recall remedy repair replaced SJP Version 1.0 with an improved version, Version 1.1. The SJP is designed to purge fuel from the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system. VW’s recall filing stated the SJP may have been damaged during assembly, which could potentially allow fuel to flow directly into the EVAP system. Over time, the fuel could accumulate in, and cause a leak from, the charcoal canister filter element. ODI received consumer complaints of SJP failure leading to a fuel leak, refueling spit back, refueling shutoff, and/or fuel odor in vehicles previously repaired under recall 16V-647. Additional complaints alleging SJP failure leading to the previously stated outcomes were received in vehicles outside the scope of recall 16V-647, including MY 2016-2020 VW Golf and Audi A3 vehicles. VW issued recall 24V-110 on February 14, 2024, to address issues with SJPs Versions 1.0 and 1.1. The recall remedy replaces the SJP Version 1.0 or 1.1 with an improved version, Version 2.0. Recall 24V-110 covers certain MY 2015-2020 VW Golf (including Golf GTI), 2015-2020 Audi A3, and 2019-2020 VW Jetta GLI vehicles, including vehicle previously repaired under 16V-647. Vehicle owners were notified of this recall in April 2024 and VW’s projected date for owner notification of recall remedy availability is August 2024. In view of the recall being conducted by VW, ODI is closing this Recall Query (RQ). The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

The stalling incidents cited occurred without warning as the vehicle slows to a stop or prepares to make a turn across traffic with the clutch pressed in and the vehicle in neutral.The hazard posed by a vehicle stalling event is manifested in the inability of the vehicle to move with the flow of surrounding traffic. Two factors have a major impact on the potential hazard to the vehicle, its occupants and surrounding vehicles: the surrounding traffic speed and the subject vehicle's restart ability. In the case of the vehicles that are the subject of this petition, restart is immediate and the stalls occur when the vehicle is slowing to stop for a traffic signal, making a turn, or is completely stopped. These circumstances substantially reduce the risk of harm to the vehicle, its occupants and surrounding vehicles.As of March 2, 2020, out of the population of 11,333 subject vehicles, NHTSA has identified 214 consumer complaints in its database, with unique Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN), citing engine stalling as vehicles are being brought to a stop and/or preparing to make a cross traffic turn. When combined with the warranty, field report and customer complaint data received from VW in response to the Information Request letter sent, NHTSA identified 413 unique VINs alleging low speed engine stalling.Volkswagen determined that the low speed / idle engine stall was the result of unwanted gases remaining in the cylinder caused by the intake valve camshaft not being in the correct position at idle. The intake camshaft is in an advanced position. This advanced position results in too much overlap with the position of the exhaust valve camshaft, allowing both the intake and exhaust valves to be open ", "years": [2019], "open": false}], "segment_rank": 5, "segment_n": 9, "peers": [{"make": "Mazda", "model": "Mazda3", "avg_per_year": 6.6, "idx_vs_all": 0.16, "top_group": "electrical", "complaints": 318, "recalls": 15, "trend": "improving", "recent_trend": "falling", "rank": 1, "self": false}, {"make": "Toyota", "model": "Prius", "avg_per_year": 7.0, "idx_vs_all": 0.17, "top_group": "electrical", "complaints": 250, "recalls": 11, "trend": "stable", "recent_trend": "rising", "rank": 2, "self": false}, {"make": "Subaru", "model": "Impreza", "avg_per_year": 9.5, "idx_vs_all": 0.23, "top_group": "structure", "complaints": 494, "recalls": 13, "trend": "improving", "recent_trend": "steady", "rank": 3, "self": false}, {"make": "Kia", "model": "Forte", "avg_per_year": 12.7, "idx_vs_all": 0.3, "top_group": "engine", "complaints": 534, "recalls": 10, "trend": "improving", "recent_trend": "rising", "rank": 4, "self": false}, {"make": "Volkswagen", "model": "Jetta", "avg_per_year": 18.0, "idx_vs_all": 0.43, "top_group": "engine", "complaints": 843, "recalls": 22, "trend": "improving", "recent_trend": "steady", "rank": 5, "self": true}, {"make": "Nissan", "model": "Sentra", "avg_per_year": 19.5, "idx_vs_all": 0.46, "top_group": "electrical", "complaints": 904, "recalls": 14, "trend": "improving", "recent_trend": "steady", "rank": 6, "self": false}, {"make": "Toyota", "model": "Corolla", "avg_per_year": 27.0, "idx_vs_all": 0.64, "top_group": "engine", "complaints": 1128, "recalls": 15, "trend": "stable", "recent_trend": "steady", "rank": 7, "self": false}, {"make": "Hyundai", "model": "Elantra", "avg_per_year": 32.0, "idx_vs_all": 0.76, "top_group": "engine", "complaints": 1404, "recalls": 19, "trend": "worsening", "recent_trend": "steady", "rank": 8, "self": false}, {"make": "Honda", "model": "Civic", "avg_per_year": 73.3, "idx_vs_all": 1.74, "top_group": "steering", "complaints": 2937, "recalls": 14, "trend": "worsening", "recent_trend": "falling", "rank": 9, "self": false}], "changed": "2026-09-04"}, "model_years": [{"first_filed": "2019-02-28", "last_filed": "2026-07-16", "median_filing_delay_days": 17, "limited_data": false, "complaints": 31, "crashes": 1, "fires": 0, "injuries": 0, "deaths": 0, "severe": 1, "severe_share": 3.2, "injuries_per_100": 0.0, "per_year": 3.6, "age_years": 8.7, "by_group": [{"group": "fuel", "count": 7, "share": 22.6, "ratio": 5.25}, {"group": "hvac", "count": 6, "share": 19.4, "ratio": 2.16}, {"group": "transmission", "count": 5, "share": 16.1, "ratio": 1.38}, {"group": "airbags", "count": 5, "share": 16.1, "ratio": 4.22}, {"group": "engine", "count": 2, "share": 6.5, "ratio": 0.29}, {"group": "electrical", "count": 2, "share": 6.5, "ratio": 0.41}, {"group": "wheels", "count": 2, "share": 6.5, "ratio": 2.61}, {"group": "brakes", "count": 1, "share": 3.2, "ratio": 0.53}, {"group": "other", "count": 1, "share": 3.2, "ratio": 1.77}], "top_group": "fuel", "by_filed_year": [{"year": 2019, "count": 3}, {"year": 2020, "count": 2}, {"year": 2021, "count": 3}, {"year": 2022, "count": 2}, {"year": 2023, "count": 4}, {"year": 2024, "count": 7}, {"year": 2025, "count": 5}, {"year": 2026, "count": 5}], "early": 3, "early_closed": true, "age_buckets": [{"key": "age_0_1", "count": 2, "share": 6.5}, {"key": "age_1_2", "count": 4, "share": 12.9}, {"key": "age_2_3", "count": 2, "share": 6.5}, {"key": "age_3_5", "count": 3, "share": 9.7}, {"key": "age_5p", "count": 20, "share": 64.5}], "median_age_months": 74, "recent_12m": 5, "prior_12m": 6, "recent_trend": null, "recalls": 3, "recall_list": [{"campaign": "20V648000", "make": "Volkswagen", "model": "Jetta", "year": 2018, "received": "2020-10-21", "component": "FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL", "summary": "Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Recall 16V-647 was issued on September 2, 2016, for a defective suction jet pump (SJP) inside the fuel tank. Failure of the SJP could lead to a fuel leak from the vehicle. This recall covered certain model year (MY) 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 passenger car vehicles. The recall remedy repair replaced SJP Version 1.0 with an improved version, Version 1.1. The SJP is designed to purge fuel from the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system. VW’s recall filing stated the SJP may have been damaged during assembly, which could potentially allow fuel to flow directly into the EVAP system. Over time, the fuel could accumulate in, and cause a leak from, the charcoal canister filter element. ODI received consumer complaints of SJP failure leading to a fuel leak, refueling spit back, refueling shutoff, and/or fuel odor in vehicles previously repaired under recall 16V-647. Additional complaints alleging SJP failure leading to the previously stated outcomes were received in vehicles outside the scope of recall 16V-647, including MY 2016-2020 VW Golf and Audi A3 vehicles. VW issued recall 24V-110 on February 14, 2024, to address issues with SJPs Versions 1.0 and 1.1. The recall remedy replaces the SJP Version 1.0 or 1.1 with an improved version, Version 2.0. Recall 24V-110 covers certain MY 2015-2020 VW Golf (including Golf GTI), 2015-2020 Audi A3, and 2019-2020 VW Jetta GLI vehicles, including vehicle previously repaired under 16V-647. Vehicle owners were notified of this recall in April 2024 and VW’s projected date for owner notification of recall remedy availability is August 2024. In view of the recall being conducted by VW, ODI is closing this Recall Query (RQ). The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

The stalling incidents cited occurred without warning as the vehicle slows to a stop or prepares to make a turn across traffic with the clutch pressed in and the vehicle in neutral.The hazard posed by a vehicle stalling event is manifested in the inability of the vehicle to move with the flow of surrounding traffic. Two factors have a major impact on the potential hazard to the vehicle, its occupants and surrounding vehicles: the surrounding traffic speed and the subject vehicle's restart ability. In the case of the vehicles that are the subject of this petition, restart is immediate and the stalls occur when the vehicle is slowing to stop for a traffic signal, making a turn, or is completely stopped. These circumstances substantially reduce the risk of harm to the vehicle, its occupants and surrounding vehicles.As of March 2, 2020, out of the population of 11,333 subject vehicles, NHTSA has identified 214 consumer complaints in its database, with unique Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN), citing engine stalling as vehicles are being brought to a stop and/or preparing to make a cross traffic turn. When combined with the warranty, field report and customer complaint data received from VW in response to the Information Request letter sent, NHTSA identified 413 unique VINs alleging low speed engine stalling.Volkswagen determined that the low speed / idle engine stall was the result of unwanted gases remaining in the cylinder caused by the intake valve camshaft not being in the correct position at idle. The intake camshaft is in an advanced position. This advanced position results in too much overlap with the position of the exhaust valve camshaft, allowing both the intake and exhaust valves to be open ", "years": [2019], "open": false}], "keywords": {"engine": [{"term": "gli", "docs": 15, "ratio": 560.9}, {"term": "starter system", "docs": 18, "ratio": 182.3}, {"term": "grinding", "docs": 26, "ratio": 22.1}, {"term": "ignition switch", "docs": 15, "ratio": 108.0}, {"term": "clutch", "docs": 20, "ratio": 27.7}, {"term": "engine", "docs": 74, "ratio": 2.4}], "transmission": [{"term": "grinding", "docs": 67, "ratio": 64.9}, {"term": "transmission", "docs": 74, "ratio": 7.1}, {"term": "noise", "docs": 56, "ratio": 9.8}, {"term": "clutch", "docs": 20, "ratio": 31.5}, {"term": "normal", "docs": 38, "ratio": 6.1}, {"term": "eco", "docs": 16, "ratio": 65.1}], "electrical": [{"term": "starter system", "docs": 36, "ratio": 504.3}, {"term": "ignition switch", "docs": 31, "ratio": 308.8}, {"term": "electrical", "docs": 47, "ratio": 10.4}, {"term": "check starter", "docs": 18, "ratio": 390.4}, {"term": "system faulty", "docs": 16, "ratio": 259.2}, {"term": "shut", "docs": 33, "ratio": 6.3}]}, "changed": "2026-09-04"}, {"first_filed": "2020-06-15", "last_filed": "2026-05-20", "median_filing_delay_days": 7, "limited_data": false, "complaints": 51, "crashes": 1, "fires": 0, "injuries": 2, "deaths": 0, "severe": 1, "severe_share": 2.0, "injuries_per_100": 3.9, "per_year": 7.6, "age_years": 6.7, "by_group": [{"group": "engine", "count": 12, "share": 23.5, "ratio": 1.06}, {"group": "electrical", "count": 11, "share": 21.6, "ratio": 1.37}, {"group": "hvac", "count": 8, "share": 15.7, "ratio": 1.75}, {"group": "transmission", "count": 4, "share": 7.8, "ratio": 0.67}, {"group": "fuel", "count": 4, "share": 7.8, "ratio": 1.81}, {"group": "brakes", "count": 3, "share": 5.9, "ratio": 0.97}, {"group": "wheels", "count": 3, "share": 5.9, "ratio": 2.37}, {"group": "structure", "count": 2, "share": 3.9, "ratio": 0.43}, {"group": "steering", "count": 1, "share": 2.0, "ratio": 0.31}, {"group": "airbags", "count": 1, "share": 2.0, "ratio": 0.52}, {"group": "adas", "count": 1, "share": 2.0, "ratio": 0.35}, {"group": "other", "count": 1, "share": 2.0, "ratio": 1.11}], "top_group": "engine", "by_filed_year": [{"year": 2020, "count": 7}, {"year": 2021, "count": 9}, {"year": 2022, "count": 5}, {"year": 2023, "count": 7}, {"year": 2024, "count": 14}, {"year": 2025, "count": 5}, {"year": 2026, "count": 4}], "early": 16, "early_closed": true, "age_buckets": [{"key": "age_0_1", "count": 10, "share": 19.6}, {"key": "age_1_2", "count": 7, "share": 13.7}, {"key": "age_2_3", "count": 7, "share": 13.7}, {"key": "age_3_5", "count": 19, "share": 37.3}, {"key": "age_5p", "count": 8, "share": 15.7}], "median_age_months": 42, "recent_12m": 6, "prior_12m": 5, "recent_trend": null, "recalls": 6, "recall_list": [{"campaign": "24V110000", "make": "Volkswagen", "model": "Jetta", "year": 2020, "received": "2024-02-14", "component": "FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE", "summary": "Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Recall 16V-647 was issued on September 2, 2016, for a defective suction jet pump (SJP) inside the fuel tank. Failure of the SJP could lead to a fuel leak from the vehicle. This recall covered certain model year (MY) 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 passenger car vehicles. The recall remedy repair replaced SJP Version 1.0 with an improved version, Version 1.1. The SJP is designed to purge fuel from the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system. VW’s recall filing stated the SJP may have been damaged during assembly, which could potentially allow fuel to flow directly into the EVAP system. Over time, the fuel could accumulate in, and cause a leak from, the charcoal canister filter element. ODI received consumer complaints of SJP failure leading to a fuel leak, refueling spit back, refueling shutoff, and/or fuel odor in vehicles previously repaired under recall 16V-647. Additional complaints alleging SJP failure leading to the previously stated outcomes were received in vehicles outside the scope of recall 16V-647, including MY 2016-2020 VW Golf and Audi A3 vehicles. VW issued recall 24V-110 on February 14, 2024, to address issues with SJPs Versions 1.0 and 1.1. The recall remedy replaces the SJP Version 1.0 or 1.1 with an improved version, Version 2.0. Recall 24V-110 covers certain MY 2015-2020 VW Golf (including Golf GTI), 2015-2020 Audi A3, and 2019-2020 VW Jetta GLI vehicles, including vehicle previously repaired under 16V-647. Vehicle owners were notified of this recall in April 2024 and VW’s projected date for owner notification of recall remedy availability is August 2024.
