Heater Core: Recalls
Recall 96V115000: Heater Core Failure

In the event the engine overheats and the vehicle is operated continuously in that condition, the coolant pressure will rise to a level at which the heat
exchanger could leak. A leaking heat exchanger will allow hot coolant to escape causing injury to the driver's feet or could steam up the interior of the
vehicle temporarily impairing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

Dealers will replace the heat exchanger on these vehicles.

System: Engine cooling system.

Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles.

Owner notification: Owner notification is expected to begin

Note: Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time
should contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987. Also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's auto safety hotline at
1-800-424-9393.
