On certain vehicles, a front brake hose may be too long and could rub against the steering mechanism. This can cause damage to the hose that could result in a brake fluid leak. If this happens, a driver may have reduced braking.
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front brake hose. It will be replaced, if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the front brake caliper mounting bolts may not be properly tightened. This could cause the bolts to loosen, which may result in reduced brake effectiveness.
Reduced brake effectiveness could cause an increase in stopping distance and create the risk of a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front brake caliper mounting bolts.
