VW recalls Taos for issue that could cause fuel pump to break

The Volkswagen Taos debuted last year as the brand’s smallest crossover. It’s also a popular model for the automaker, moving thousands of units in its first year on sale. A sizable number of them are due in for a recall, however, as their in-tank fuel delivery module (fuel pump) might break during operation and could lead to a loss of power.

Volkswagen is recalling 15,874 Taos crossovers from model year 2022. The documentation notes that the fuel delivery module may break while the vehicle is in operation and could lead to a loss of engine power in rare cases. The module can get stuck if foreign material obstructs it or the impeller is deformed or improperly positioned. The good news is that this issue does not cause a fuel leak, which could make the problem much more dangerous.
