The recall was initiated because this faulty suction pump inside the gas tank could leak fuel, posing a fire risk, according to the company.
Five models of Volkswagen vehicles are included in the recall: including the Golf, Golf GTI, Golf Sportwagen, Jetta and Audi A3 models between 2015 and 2020.
Select model years are subject to the recall, including only front-wheel drive vehicles.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday that the Jool Baby Nova Baby Infant Swing that was marketed, intended or designed for infant sleep posed a suffocation risk because it had an incline angle greater than 10 degrees.
The product violated the commission’s Infant Sleep Products Regulation and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, the agency said.
A study cited in the federal regulation of infant sleep products found that infants who slept in products with a 20-degree incline were exposed to increased demand on the abdominal muscles, which could lead to fatigue and suffocation. The same study determined that an incline of 10 degrees or below does not significantly affect infant motion or muscle activity.
If a loved one has suffered injuries or losses due to this, or any, Jool Baby product, you may be entitled to compensation.

But a certain subset of those airbags are more dangerous than others," said Keith Barry, Senior Auto Reporter of Consumer Reports
The newest warning covers certain Toyota Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 models years as well as the RAV4 small SUV from 2004 and 2005. Thousands of GM Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004 are also under the recall.
The Takata airbags in those vehicles are more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments toward the people inside.
"Already there have been 26 people killed from these faulty airbags," said Barry. "And the older that these airbags get, the more likely it is to happen."
The recalled RAV4s have Takata airbags on the driver's side the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side.
"You know, the original recall is many years old, so some of these vehicles, the owners have received notice after notice after notice saying they need to get their car fixed and haven't done so," said Barry.
There are many reasons owners may not have received the notice - perhaps they moved or they're not the original owner. Whatever the reason, Toyota and GM say there is no time to waste.
"Don't even drive the car to us. Don't get behind the wheel. It's too dangerous if something went wrong," warns Barry.
