NHTSA recall 04V584000
Exterior Lighting · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the hazard switch and flasher system function may degrade over time because of distortion and material transfer of the contacts of certain hazard switch relays which occurs due to substantially increased electrical current load from higher wattage turn signal bulbs.
Why it matters: This may result in intermittent or inoperative turn signal and hazard flasher function.
The fix: Dealers will replace the hazard flasher switch/relay kit. The recall began on March 31, 2005. Owners should contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
