DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM


Posted on: 1996-07-08
Description
In the event the engine overheats and the vehicle is operated continuously in that condition, the coolant pressure will rise to a level at which the heat exchanger could leak.

Consequence
A leaking heat exchanger will allow hot coolant to escape causing injury to the driver's feet or could steam up the interior of the vehicle temporarily impairing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the heat exchanger on these vehicles.

Notes
System: engine cooling system.  Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.  Owner notification: owner notification is expected to begin note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.  Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
