In documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the three automakers — all owned by Volkswagen Group — say the fuel injection system in affected vehicles may leak, increasing the risk of a fire. So far, no injuries or fires have been reported.

The recall includes Audi Q7, S4 and S5 vehicles from model years 2011 to 2013; Audi A7 vehicles from 2012 to 2013; Audi A6 vehicles and Volkswagen Touareg Hybrids from 2012; and Porsche Cayenne S Hybrids and Panamera S Hybrids from 2011 to 2012.

The automakers say they will notify affected owners, who will be able to replace the fuel rails and seals at a local dealer free of charge.
