FAILURE OF HEADLAMPS
The headlamp switch may overheat and result in headlamp failure.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitting of a cable harness with control relay. In addition the light switch is to be replaced on Passat and Golf Ecomatic models as appropriate.

BALL JOINT TO WISHBONE SECURITY
As a result of an assembly fault the bolts securing the ball joints on the wishbone may loosen. In extreme cases this could result in loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles for a check on the torque of the ball joint mounting nuts/bolts. If any bolt is insufficiently torqued all three mounting bolts will be replaced.

LOOSENING OF STEERING U/J CLAMPING BOLT
The steering shaft top universal clamping bolt may loosen .This will allow free movement in the steering and if not rectified could lead to loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the steering shaft top universal clamping bolt and nut with new components.

The steering shaft top universal clamping bolt may loosen .This will allow free movement in the steering and if not rectified could lead to loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the steering shaft top universal clamping bolt and nut with new components.
WATER INGRESS TO INJECTORS
It is possible for water to enter the injection mechanism resulting in a sudden loss of engine power.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the fuel distributors injectors and hoses.
CHAFING OF WIRING LOOMS AND POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE
1) Certain cable looms in the engine compartment may chafe on adjacent sharp edges with the possibility of a short circuit. 2) Leakage may develop in the hose connections to the fuel manifold.
1) Recall the affected vehicles re-route secure and protect the subject cable looms as required to eliminate chafing. 2) Replace the fuel hose securing clamps check the condition of the hoses and replace as required.
INADVERTENT RELEASE OF HANDBRAKE
The pawl spring fitted as original equipment to the parking brake may be insufficiently long and consequently fail to exert enough pressure to ensure that the pawl engages positively in the ratchet teeth. This could allow the parking brake to release
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the original pawl spring with a longer version.

Recall the affected vehicles and replace the original pawl spring with a longer version.
STEERING SHAFT CLAMPING BOLTS MAY LOOSEN
The clamp bolt on one of three steering column universal couplings may not have been fully tightened on initial assembly. Should this bolt loosen it could allow excess free movement in the steering and if not rectified loss of steering control.
Recall the affected vehicles check the torque of the subject bolt and where necessary re-tighten it to the manufacturers specifications. Where a clamp bolt is found to be below the specified torque the splines on the shaft will be examined for

BRAKE PIPES MAY CHAFE ON OTHER COMPONENTS
On the subject vehicles it is possible that the brake pipe holder may not have been correctly positioned on the steering rack. This could allow the brake pipe to chafe on adjoining components and cause pipe damage.
Recall the affected vehicles and if necessary modify the position of the pipe holder and pipes to eliminate the possibility of the pipes chafing on other components.
STEERING RACK AND LOWER WISHBONE FASTENINGS AND CHAFING OF THE LIGHT SWITCH HARNESS
b) The light switch harness may chafe on the dash support with a consequent fire risk. Note that the scope of the defect will depend upon the particular chassis number of the vehicle.
Recall the affected vehicles and b) Secure the light switch harness and protect it by fitting beading to the edge of the dash support.
STEERING RACK AND LOWER WISHBONE FASTENINGS AND CHAFING OF THE LIGHT SWITCH HARNESS
b) The light switch harness may chafe on the dash support with a consequent fire risk. Note that the scope of the defect will depend upon the particular chassis number of the vehicle.
Recall the affected vehicles and b) Secure the light switch harness and protect it by fitting beading to the edge of the dash support.
POSSIBLE INSECURITY OF THE WIRING LOOM
One of several wiring looms located in the engine compartment may not be securely fixed. This could allow over a long time period the loom to chafe with the possibility of short circuiting and in extreme circumstances create a fire risk.
Recall the affected vehicles. Fit protective sleeving to the loom in question and secure the assembly with clips.
