The suction pumps inside of Audi gas tanks aren't doing their job and could prevent owners from refueling. Well, that sucks.

"The problem occurred during manufacturing when seal rings inside the suction pumps were assembled with too much force, damaging the seals that could then allow fuel to leak into the evaporative emissions systems. VW says a driver may notice problems when putting gas in the vehicle, namely fuel nozzles that stop while refueling or fuel that flows back out of the car."

Volkswagen Group announced the recall without any parts available. Owners should expect a couple notices in the mail.
