Volkswagen Golf

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a seal for the suction jet pump inside the fuel tank could fail. As a result, fuel may flow directly into the evaporative emission control system (EVAP). If this happens, fuel could leak from the charcoal canister. 
Note: This problem could cause a fuel odor, the fuel nozzle to stop early and/or fuel to spill when refueling.

Safety Risk: 
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the suction jet pump.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the passenger-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash. If this happens, the airbag may not inflate properly and small pieces of metal could be propelled toward vehicle occupants. 
 
Safety Risk: 
An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury or death. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Volkswagen and Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag module.

Issue:
On certain models, the chrome layer could peel off of the trim located around the gear shift cover. If this happens, sharp edges can be created. 
 
Safety Risk:
Exposed sharp edges can create the risk of a cut. 
 
Corrective Actions:
Volkswagen will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the gear shift cover trim frame.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the warning label for the engine block heater cable is written in English only. As a result, a French user may not receive important safety information about how to use the engine block heater. A label that is not provided in both official languages could create confusion.
 
Safety Risk: 
User confusion could increase the risk of injury when trying to use the block heater.
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will mail each owner a new label for the block heater cable. If you would like help installing the label, you can contact a dealer for assistance.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a build-up of silicate on the shift lever switch could cause the transmission to detect that it is in the Park position when it isn't. This could allow the ignition key to be removed when the transmission is not in the Park position. If the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away. 

Safety Risk: 
If the transmission position is not displayed correctly, a user may not know that the vehicle is not in the PARK position. If the parking brake is not applied, this  could create a risk of a vehicle roll-away and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have a new shift lever micro switch and control unit installed.
