FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE
Campaign #20V648000 · 21/10/2020
Issue

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Jetta vehicles. The fuel rail bolts may become loose over time, allowing fuel to leak.

Risk

A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.

Fix

SERVICE BRAKES HYDRAULIC
Campaign #20E064000 · 23/09/2020
Issue

The fluid seal crimp on the master cylinder may be insufficient, causing brake fluid to leak or the cylinder to come apart.

Risk

If there is a brake fluid leak, it can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix

Beck/Arnley will notify the distributors that sold the master cylinders and will work with the distributors to notify the end users. Affected master cylinders will be exchanged for a new master cylinder (part number 072-9990), free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020.

A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."

Risk

Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
