NHTSA recall 92V131000
Vehicle Speed Control · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The venturi tube located in the throttle valve housing can become loose and fall against the throttle plate.
Why it matters: The venturi tube can partially block the throttle plateand prevent it from returning to its full idle position, resulting in unwantedengine speed when the vehicle is placed in a forward or reverse gear.
The fix: Replace the press-fit venturi tube with a thread type tube.
