Volkswagen Transporter T4

Introduced in 1990, the T4 was the first Volkswagen van to have a front-mounted, water-cooled engine. Prompted by the success of similar moves with their passenger cars, Volkswagen had toyed with the idea of replacing their air-cooled, rear-engine T2 vans with a front-engine, water-cooled design in the late 1970s. The reasons for deciding in 1980 to instead introduce a new rear-engine T3 are unclear. Thus, the introduction of a front-engine layout was delayed until the arrival of the T4. After a run of nearly 14 years, T4 production ceased in 2003, making it second only to the T1 for length of production in its home market.

DEFECT #2 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH


Posted on: 2015-04-01
Description
Volkswagen group of america, inc.  (volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2009 routan vehicles manufactured june 25, 2008, to july 8, 2009, and 2010 routan vehicles manufactured october 1, 2009, to august 11, 2010.  This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system.  Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key.  The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring.  Road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Consequence
If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the off or accessory position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including, but not limited to, air bags, power steering, and power braking.  Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Corrective Action
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key fobs, free of charge.  The recall began on june 23, 2015.  Owners may contact volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 28h1.  Note: this recall supersedes recalls 11v151 and 14v396.  Vehicles that previously received an ignition switch trim ring as a recall remedy must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign.  Vehicles that have already received a new ignition switch are not covered by this campaign.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
