On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image to be delayed or not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the infotainment software.
On certain vehicles, the owner's manual incorrectly describes the function of the passenger airbag indicator light.
This error does not affect the safety or function of the airbag.
This is not a recall. The company has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have owner manuals that correctly describe the function of the passenger airbag indicator light. The company will also instruct dealers to add an insert to correct owner's manuals for all unsold vehicles.

On certain vehicles, the radiator may not be attached correctly. As a result, a coolant hose could be damaged by contact with the serpentine belt pulley and create a coolant leak. If this happens, coolant could spill onto the road and cause a red warning light to turn on in the instrument cluster. If you ignore the warning light and continue driving, the engine could overheat.
A coolant leak could create a hazard for other road users. Additionally, an engine that overheats could create the risk of a fire.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to ensure that the radiator is attached correctly. If it is loose, the coolant hose and serpentine belt will also be checked for damage, and replaced if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the touch switch that controls the sunroof may be too sensitive. As a result, the sunroof switch does not pass certain tests under Canadian safety regulations.
A sunroof that closes accidentally could create a risk of injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact a dealership to make an appointment to replace the sunroof switch.
The engine cover may come loose in certain driving conditions. If this happens, the engine cover could contact hot surfaces in the engine compartment and melt.
An engine cover that melts onto a hot surface could create the risk of a fire.
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to remove the engine cover. Volkswagen will send you another notice once a replacement engine cover is available, and will ask you to take your vehicle to a dealer to have it installed.
