SEPTEMBER 2009 --
Volkswagen is recalling
certain model year 2006
through 2010 Audi A3, TT,
and TT Roadster passenger
vehicles manufactured
between September 29, 2005
and August 26, 2009. The
closing force of an internal
spring of the fuel tank
ventilation valve is not
adequate enough to hold the
valve closed under extreme
driving conditions possibly
allowing fuel to leak. In
the presence of an ignition
source, a vehicle fire could
occur. Volkswagen will
notify owners and Audi
dealers will replace the
fuel tank ventilation valve
with an improved valve free
of charge. The safety recall
is expected to begin during
October 2009.
09V377
AUGUST 2009 --
Volkswagen is recalling
certain model year 2009 and
2010 passenger cars
manufactured between
September 2008 and August
2009. The wiring harness of
a temperature sensor in the
direct shift gearbox (DSG)
may have connector wires
that were insufficiently
crimped. With insufficiently
crimped connector wires, a
temperature sensor has the
potential to falsely detect
a high gearbox oil
temperature, causing the
transmission to abruptly
shift to neutral. If this
happens, the selector lever
position indicator within
the instrument panel will
flash. In addition, the
"Depress Brake Pedal"
indicator light will be
illuminated, alerting the
driver to apply the brakes.
The abrupt shift to neutral
could lead to a crash
without warning. Volkswagen
will notify owners, inspect
the DSG and, if necessary,
replace an affected DSG
temperature sensor free of
charge. The manufacturer has
not yet provided a
notification schedule.
09V-333
FEBRUARY 2008 --
Volkswagen is recalling 720 MY 2008 Audi TT
coupe vehicles. These vehicles were produced
with C-pillar trim cover clips that do not
provide adequate retention. In the event of
a deployment of the rear pyrotechnic safety
belt, the C-pillar trim cover may become
detached from the sheet metal due to low
retention force of the trim clip. The
detached trim cover could pose a risk of
personal injury for vehicle front seat
occupants. Dealers will install an improved
clip on the affected vehicles. The recall is
expected to begin during March 2008. Owners
may contact VW/Audi at 1-800-822-2834.
