    Vehicle Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
    Estimated Vehicles Affected: 70000
    2001 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Defect Summary:
    VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.

VW/AUDI WILL ALSO CALL BACK VEHICLES THAT WERE REPAIRED UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL LAST JUNE IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE UPDATED FUEL SENDING UNITS NHTSA 00V137/AUDI LB).
