What this recall means for you
Certain Bugatti Veyron vehicles from model years 2006 through 2010, along with 2010 and 2011 Veyron Grand Sport models, may have a fuel tank gauge that shows more fuel in the tank than is actually there. Drivers relying on the gauge may not realize they are low on fuel.
