Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. 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.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Safety

NHTSA recall information identifies three safety concerns for the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta. A Steering Column issue may allow the key to come out while the transmission is not in Park, creating an unintended-rollaway risk. A Brake Master Cylinder defect in certain Beck/Arnley replacement parts may allow brake fluid to leak, reducing braking ability. A Fuel System issue may allow loose fuel rail bolts to create a fuel leak and increase fire risk. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. If you received a recall notice, smell fuel, notice braking changes, or are simply unsure about past repairs, check the VIN promptly and avoid delaying the manufacturer’s remedy.
