Vehicles affected by this action may have ignition coils that could
malfunction under certain conditions. If this happens, the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) will illuminate to let you know that the vehicle
may experience some deterioration in performance. Please refer to your
vehicle owner's manual for additional information when the MIL comes
on, and if necessary, you should take your vehicle to the nearest
authorized Volkswagen dealer for diagnosis and repair as soon as
possible. In some cases, a malfunctioning ignition coil may cause a
vehicle to exceed Federal and/or California/Provincial emissions
standards.
What is the repair?
Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the ignition coils in affected vehicles. This work will be performed at no cost to you.
