DEFECT #1 - STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
Posted on: 2019-08-22
Description
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.
Consequence
Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than park increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Corrective Action
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional switch and circuit board, free of charge. The recall began november 19, 2019. Owners may contact volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 37m2.
