NHTSA recall 09V333000
Power Train · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the direct shift gearbox (dsg) may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped. With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to neutral. If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash.…
Why it matters: The abrupt shift to neutral could lead to a crash without warning.
The fix: Volkswagen will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software free of charge. The recall began on October 20, 2009.
