Known issues on the 2007 A3. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, all tied to safety-critical systems. Two separate recalls cover the driver's frontal air bag inflator module: excessive internal pressure can cause the inflator to rupture or explode, sending metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants in a crash. A third recall covers the fuel tank ventilation valve, where a weak internal spring can fail to hold the valve closed under extreme driving conditions, allowing fuel to leak in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 52 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an air bag inflator inspection to checking the fuel tank ventilation valve or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2007 A3.
