RECALL: Fuel leak and fire risks for nearly 37,000 vehicles in Canada

Nearly 37,000 vehicles have been recalled in Canada because of an issue that could lead to a fuel leak and fire risk in the event of a crash.

“On certain vehicles, the wiring harness to the fuel pressure sensor may be too short. As a result, the sensor could dislodge or separate from the fuel tank in a rear crash and cause a fuel leak,” Transport Canada said in a notice.

“A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire,” officials added.

The recall is from Volkswagen.

They will be advised to take their vehicle to a dealership so than an extension for the fuel pressure sensor wiring harness can be installed.
