| Description of the problem | I had my car's suction pump replaced when it was recalled. As far as i know, it could damage the charcoal canister filter due to fuel accumulation. Several months after suction pump was replaced, i had a check engine light which turned out to be a leaking charcoal canister. Tried asking for a refund from vw but they said they can't give me a refund as the recall was already closed. I'm under the assumption that the charcoal canister has been damaged by the faulty suction pump before it was replaced and it took several months before it really broke down. Thing is, i never knew how the recall will affect my car until i read how the thing works in credit karma app. |
