Audi Announces Voluntary Recall of 46 TT Coupes

19 August 1999

    AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 18 -- Audi of America, Inc. today
announced that it is voluntarily recalling a total of 46 Audi TT model year
2000 vehicles to correct a potential problem with fuel lines.
    Audi has determined that in some TTs, a small section of the fuel line
assembly, which is attached to the underside of the vehicle, could have been
damaged during production.  If damaged, the fuel line could leak to the
outside of the vehicle and potentially cause a fire.
    There have been no owner complaints attributed to this concern nor have
there been any fires, accidents or injuries.  Audi, however, is aware of one
occurrence of leakage involving a company owned vehicle.
    Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by express mail.  They will
be asked to contact their authorized Audi dealer to have the fuel lines
replaced at no cost.  Replacement parts are available now at the respective
dealerships.
    Customers with questions are welcome to phone Audi Customer Relations
toll-free at 1-800-822-2834.
