- Notes
- Possibility that the rubber grommet protecting the starter cable at the point where it passes through the panel separating the engine compartment from the storage area beneath the rear seat may be dislodged.this may allow the insulation on the starter cable to chafe through, resulting in a short circuit.(reroute the battery starter cable through a new type rubber cushion.)

Has your Volkswagen been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
