Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, there could be reduced braking.
Note: This problem could cause the brake pedal to feel soft and/or spongy and a brake warning light could turn on in the instrument cluster.
Safety Risk:
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the brake master cylinder.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
