Subject:
Recall Campaign SH
199O-92 Volkswagen Corrado Vehicles
Replace Fuel Hose and Clamps
Dear Volkswagen Retailer:
This is to inform you of the initiation of a recall campaign involving 1990 through some early production model 1992 Volkswagen Corrado vehicles.
The vehicles affected are within the following vehicle identification number range:
WVW__450_LK000001 - WVW__450_NK015586
Defect Description
We have found that the fuel feed hose to the fuel distribution rail could settle more than the existing hose clamp can compensate for. This may lead to
occasional fuel seepage at the hose connection.
Remedial Action
Replace fuel feed hose and fuel hose clamps.
Customer Notification
Volkswagen United States, Inc. will inform all known owners of affected vehicles directly by first class mail on or about February 10, 1993. A sample
copy of the owner notification letter is enclosed for your information.
Vehicle Allocation
Prior to owner notification we will furnish you with a computer printed list of vehicles containing names and addresses of owners residing within your
primary area of influence.
Note:
This listing includes owner names and addresses obtained from state motor vehicle registrations. Under the law of some states, including regulations
set forth by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, vehicle registration information may only be used for recall purposes. Use for any other
reason may constitute a violation of state law.
Limitation on Sale or Lease of Certain Vehicles
Section 154(d) of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 mandates that retailers correct, prior to delivery for sale or lease, any
vehicle which fails to comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or which contains a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety.
It is therefore mandatory that any vehicle in your inventory and affected by this recall be corrected prior to sale or lease.
