- Engine and engine cooling:cooling system
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/1986 - 06/30/1993
- Affected:
- 164,000
- Defect:
- In the event of a cooling system component failure while the vehicle is driven, the coolant can overheat causing the cooling system pressure to rise to a level where a leak in the heat exchanger can occur.
- Consequence:
- A leak or failure of the heat exchanger located under the dashboard can allow hot coolant to escape and cause injury to the feet of a passenger. hot coolant can also steam up the interior of the vehicle temporarily impairing the driver's visibility, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a bypass valve kit which is designed to route excessively hot coolant to the engine without flowing through the heat exchanger. dealers will also install a plastic cover underneath the dashboard on the passenger side to ensure that the passenger is not exposed to hot coolant in the event of a leak.

- System: engine cooling system.vehicle description:passenger cars.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time,please contact volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
