THE FUEL HOSE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION RAIL ON THE ENGINE MAY SHRINK BEYOND THE CLAMP FORCE OF THE FUEL HOSE CLAMPS, ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK. Remedy: REPLACE THE FUEL HOSE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL RAIL AND INSTALL A NEW SPRING TYPE SELF-TIGHTENING CLAMP.
THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING, WHICH SERVES AS THE BASE FOR THE FUEL PUMP (LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK) COULD DEFORM, RESULTING IN THE FUEL PUMP BECOMING LOOSE. Remedy: REPLACE FUEL FILTER.
IN THE EVENT THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY IN THAT CONDITION, THE COOLANT PRESSURE WILL RISE TO A LEVEL AT WHICH THE HEAT EXCHANGER COULD LEAK. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEAT EXCHANGER ON THESE VEHICLES.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

INCREASED COOLANT PRESSURE DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING COULD RESULT IN RUPTURE OF HEAT EXCHANGER CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY, OR, STEAMING OF INTERIOR. CORRECTION: HEAT EXCHANGER WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
THE FUEL HOSE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION RAIL, LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY CLAMPED. THIS COULD LEAD TO FUEL SEEPAGE AT THE HOSE CONNECTION. ESCAPING FUEL COULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH HOT ENGINE COMPONENTS AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: FUEL HOSE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL RAIL WILL BE REPLACED AND EXISTING HOSE CLAMPS WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW SPRING TYPE HOSE CLAMP.
UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING, WHICH ALSO SERVES AS THE BASE FOR THE FUEL PUMP, COULD DEFORM RESULTING IN THE FUEL PUMP BECOMING LOOSE. A LOOSE AND THUS IMPROPERLY SEATED FUEL PUMP COULD CAUSE REDUCED FUEL FLOW TO THE ENGINE RESULTING IN POSSIBLE DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE STALLING. CORRECTION: FUEL PUMP WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 108 - LIGHTING. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE THREE POSITION LIGHT SWITCH IN THE SECOND POSITION. CORRECTION: MAIN LIGHT SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED ON JETTA, CORRADO AND PASSAT AND A RELAY WITH WIRING HARNESS WILL BE INSTALLED.
