NHTSA recall 15V229000 dated 04/17/15 does not show up in Audi system, however, Volkswagen group of America, Inc. Has listed it for my Audi A3. I am experiencing this defect as of January 9, 2018 with VIN #[xxx]. I never received a recall notice. On occasion, the car will not start, or starts for a minute and shuts off with an inability to restart. After sitting for an hour or so it will start. I believe there may be a defect with the fuel pump as described in recall 15V229000. How do I get Audi to accept the recall? I have already been stranded once and needed a tow to Audi dealer who stated fuel pump was the issue, but vehicle has no recalls. I believe this to be in error and would like it resolved.
