NHTSA investigating fuel pump failures on Passat/Jetta

Just got this email today, from an investigator at NHTSA.

Dear Sir or Madam,

You are receiving this email because you had reported to us concerning fuel pump failure on your model year 2003 VW Passat or Audi A4.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is presently reviewing a number of these complaints. To consistently identify the faulty components associated with the fuel pump failure/stalling event, we are seeking copies of any repair/remedy records, and any actual defective hardware. Please E-mail scanned copies of these records to this address or faxes them to my attention on (withheld). Should you have questions or comments, please feel free to call me on (withheld). Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
