Reported risk: Issue:
The engine cover may come loose in certain driving conditions. If this happens, the engine cover could contact hot surfaces in the engine compartment and melt.
Safety Risk:
An engine cover that melts onto a hot surface could create the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions:
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to remove the engine cover. Volkswagen will send you another notice once a replacement engine cover is available, and will ask you to take your vehicle to a dealer to have it installed.
