2017 Volkswagen GTI Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	11364005

File date	07/10/20
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	First noticed strong fuel smell coming from rear passenger side wheel well. Fuel smell dissipated after around 45 minutes. The next time i drove the car, it began bucking as if there was a fuel pressure error. By the time i limped the car into my driveway, fuel was pouring out of the same wheel well. The car has leaked fuel on two more occasions since then. I've since found out that this is a known issue that volkswagen addressed in safety recall 20y6. Faulty elements in the fuel tank are causing gasoline to purge into the evap system and then leak through the evap canister, down onto the wheel well. Vw apparently made a business decision not to include 2017 golfs in that recall, despite being identical cars. A quick look through these complaints or in various volkswagen forums will show that this issue is common and popping up in more and more 2017 cars at around 35k miles.
