Showing 276–300 of 366 recalls.
FUEL MAY LEAK
On 2.0l Common Rail engines of a limited production period faulty material can cause leaks on the high pressure pipes during the service life of the vehicle.
Anti-vibration balance weights will be fitted on the high-pressure pipes.

AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
On affected Crafter vehicles some airbag control units may be incorrectly coded. It is also possible the wrong parameter set has been assigned to the airbag control unit.
Where necessary the airbag control unit will be replaced
BONNET MAY OPEN
It has been established that the mounting bolts on the bonnet catch may loosen. This may cause the lock to become loose and could result in the bonnet suddenly opening.
Recall all affected vehicles to have the bolts checked and tighten if required.
CLUTCH MAY OPERATE INADVERTENTLY WITH UNEXPECTED LOSS OF DRIVE
In rare cases an incorrect interpretation of the clutch temperature can occur which results in the clutch opening unexpectedly with loss of drive.
Recall affected vehicles and update/reprogramme gearbox control unit.

REAR SPOILER COULD BECOME DETACHED WHEN DRIVING.
It has been identified that the holders of the rear spoiler may break. Should this occur whilst the vehicle is being driven the spoiler may detach completely.
Recalled vehicles will have the three attachment areas of the rear spoiler modified with additional bonded on reinforcements
HANDBRAKE MAY NOT FULLY APPLY
It has been identified that on some vehicles the rear brake shoe adjustment bushes can because of insufficient wall thickness break when the handbrake is applied.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject adjustment bushes replaced.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The earth terminal of the additional air heater may not be correctly attached. This can lead to overheating of the connection and in the most unfavourable case to a vehicle fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to modify the attachment of the earth cable on the heating element of the additional air heater.
FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPE CAN LEAK
On a small number of 5 cylinder diesel engines the welding on a seal plug in the H piece between the fuel supply and return pipes has the potential to leak. In extreme unfavourable conditions this leaking fuel may lead to a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles to have the fuel pipe replaced with a quality assured component.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The contact resistance on the earth connection of the heating element for the additional air heater can exceed specification. This could lead to excessive heat developing in the connection area of the cable which could result in localised scorching. However if not rectified this could result in a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the torque on the earth connection.

FRONT RIGHT HAND TYRE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that during production the right-hand front tyre may have suffered damage to the inside face.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject tyre checked for damage and replaced as necessary.
FUEL PUMP MAY FAIL - ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
The power supply to the fuel pump may fail due to widened plug contacts in the central electrics unit
Recall affected vehicles check production date of central electrics unit and replace if necessary.
SEAT MAY CATCH FIRE
It has been identified that due to an incorrectly sewn-in tension wire strap for the back-rest cover of the front seats there may be contact between the tension wire of the seat and the filaments of the seat heater. The resulting short circuit can lead to fire damage on the front seat covers.
Recalled vehicles will have the tension wires of the front seats insulated.
WIPERS MAY DETACH
It has been identified that on some Passat vehicles the windscreen wipers may fail to operate because of a software fault.
Affected vehicles will have a cap for the windscreen wiper motor fitted
HEATING ELEMENT MAY OVERHEAT
The additional air heater heating element earth connection may overheat and in the most unfavourable cases may lead to a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check that the earth connection is sufficiently tight.
2ND ROW SEAT BACKREST MAY NOT LATCH CORRECTLY
The back-rest of the 2nd seat row may not completely latch in. In an accident this could increase the risk of injury because the seat belts are attached to the back-rest.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the bowden cable of the double seat bench.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
The two mass flywheel can become damaged because of a non- optimally designed through-flow restrictor in the clutch pressure pipe. This can lead to total failure of the two mass flywheel and under unfavourable circumstances a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the manufacturer of the two mass flywheel checked and if necessary the flywheel and the breather of the clutch pressure pipe will be replaced.
