On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L TFSI engine, the electric coolant pump could experience a short circuit and/or overheat. A short circuit or overheating of the pump could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will unplug the electric coolant pump and update the coolant pump software to mitigate the risk of fire as an interim measure. When parts become available, dealers will replace the electric coolant pump, and install an updated coolant pump software.

On certain vehicles, the fuel line may weaken and leak over time due to an issue during the manufacturing process. This could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected fuel line.

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L TFSI engine, the coolant pump could become blocked by debris from the cooling system. This could lead to the pump overheating and could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software which deactivates the power supply to the coolant pump if the pump becomes blocked with debris. The driver will be notified of the blocked coolant pump through the illumination of the Electronic Power Control (EPC) lamp.

On certain vehicles, the under hood fuel hose may degrade, which could result in a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the under hood fuel hose and the in-tank fuel pump.

Moisture may penetrate the electronics of the additional water pump. This can lead to a short circuit and failure of the water pump.

The software installed in these vehicles with an EA189 diesel engine may lead to lower NOx values during dynamometer tests than would have been measured under the same conditions on the road. This burdens the environment.

The manufacturer is recalling the affected vehicles and is taking measures to repair the defect. The vehicle owner is invited to make an appointment with a brand dealer. Updated software will then be installed. Vehicles with a 1.6L diesel engine will also be equipped with a so-called flow grid.

Engine oil may enter the brake booster through the vacuum lines. This can damage the diaphragm of the brake booster, resulting in a loss of brake assist. The car will still brake, but significantly more force will be required on the brake pedal.

The manufacturer is recalling the affected vehicles. Measures will be taken to fix the defect. The vehicle owner is requested to contact a brand dealer to make an appointment. The vacuum line will then be replaced with a vacuum line that has a check valve.
