DETACHABLE TOW BAR MAY WORK LOOSE
A combination of internal and external forces caused the towball to prematurelydetach itself from the towball housing resulting in separation of the trailer from the drawing unit.
All towballs and housing will initially be modified and then replaced with calibrated units at a later date.

FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING CONCERN
Vehicles operating in high corrosion areas may experience fracture of the front suspension road springs. A broken spring may in exceptional circumstances damage the inside wall of the tyre.
Change the original springs for quality assured repalcements.

All towballs and housing will initially be modified and then replaced with calibrated units at a later date.
BRAKE PEDAL STROKE MAY INCREASE
Certain brake master cylinder reservoir cap air vents are blocked. If the vehicle is driven in this condition for long term a vacuum is created in the reservoir tank as brake pads wear. There is a possibility that this vacuum may cause the brake pedal stroke to increase.
Recall affected vehicles and replace reservoir cap if faulty.

POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAK
There is a possibility that excessive residual stress remains on the check valve of the fuel pump during the assembly process. If the vehicle is driven with the residual stress the check valve may leak fuel.
Recall affected vehicles to re-tighten the fuel pump check valve and replace the relevant fuel pipe to protect against stress fracture.
BATTERY CABLE MAY CHAFE AND SHORT CIRCUIT
Battery cable may chafe on transmission valve cover plate.
Recall affected vehicles check cable insulation repair if necessary and retain cable clear of cover plate.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT WHILST THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN
Due to an ECU software error within the electrical system the fuel pump may operate at an insufficient speed once the fuel tank level has been reduced to less than 30 litres.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled to have the ECU's reprogrammed with updated software.
BRAKE VACUUM SUPPLY PIPE CONCERN
On Polo and Lupo vehicles in the affected chassis number range tension cracks may occur on the vacuum pipe to the brake servo in the area of the connections of the pipes because of a manufacturing fault. If a vacuum pipe leaks the brake servo loses its function. Without the servo assistance a lot more force must be used on the pedal. But this will not lead to a total failure of the brake system.
The fitted vacuum pipes will be checked and if necessary replaced.

SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES MAY BE DAMAGED
The front seat belt anchorage points bolt threads may have been damaged during installation. This could result in failure of the seat belt anchorages in an accident.
Remove all front seat belt anchorage bolts and examine the bolt and captive nut threads for damage. Renew or repair any damaged parts.
AIR BAG MOUNTING MAY LOOSEN
Part of the horn operating mechanism may foul the drivers air bag module and cause it to become loose on its mounting.
Replace the air bag mounting plate.

Part of the horn operating mechanism may foul the drivers air bag module and cause it to become loose on its mounting.
Replace the air bag mounting plate.
AIR COMPRESSOR MOUNTING BRACKET MAY FRACTURE.
The air compressor mounting bracket may fracture and cause the drive belt to break. This will ultimately result in a lack of air pressure to operate the braking and suspension systems.
Fit a strengthened air compressor support bracket.
POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION OF BRAKE FLUID
As a result of a production process concern a specific batch of brake calliper pistons may release hot hydrogen gas into the braking system fluid.
Affected vehicles are being recalled for a check on the brake calliper batch numbers. Vehicles equipped with calliper units from the affected batch will have these replaced with quality assured examples.
BRAKE PEDAL STOP BRACKET CONCERN
The brake pedal return stop bracket may fracture and permit the pedal to rise above its normal rest position. This could delay application of the brake in an emergency.
Install a supplementary brake pedal stop bracket.
