Detroit - Volkswagen is recalling more than 168 000 cars with diesel engines in the US because a defect in the fuel injectors could cause fires.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website that the recall affects some 2010 to 2012 Volkswagen Golf and 2009 to 2012 Jetta models. Also affected are some Audi A3 models from the 2010 to 2012 model years.
Volkswagen said cracks can develop in the fuel injectors of 2 litre diesel engines. Fuel can leak and may cause a fire.
However, the company said it was not aware of any fires or injuries resulting from the problem.
Volkswagen will replace the fuel injector line on one of the cylinders free of charge.
