Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has issued out a statement for voluntary recall on a few models produced between the year 2011 and 2015.
This recall is to fix the hydraulic pressure accumulator within the gearbox, caused by a product deviation. If not repaired, over time a leak in the pressure accumulator can occur.
“In individual cases, the failure of a component can lead to pressure loss in the hydraulic part of the gearbox, interrupting the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox.”
For Malaysia, the affected models are; Polo 6R, Scirocco, Golf Mk6, Golf Mk7, Beetle, Cross Touran, Jetta, Passat B7 and Passat CC which were produced between 2011 – 2015.
