NHTSA recall 98V195000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The rear brake line on the passenger side was routed too close to the corner of the fuel tank. The line could be damaged by chafing against the fuel tank.
Why it matters: Repeated chafing could eventually result in a leaking brake line causing diminished braking in one brake circuit increasing the vehicle's stopping distance.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the brake line and replace any damaged lines.
