Issue:
Due to an incorrectly assembled sealing ring, it may be possible for coolant to enter the high-voltage system, potentially resulting in ground bouncing in the low-voltage system. This may interfere with the CAN communication and voltage supply of safety-critical control modules. Coolant ingress has the potential to affect safety-critical control modules and/or vehicle warning lights. Diminished performance of safety-critical systems may affect vehicle control or performance in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. It can also result in an unintended airbag deployment, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
Precautions:
An illuminated warning light(s) may indicate that an electrical failure exists. Owners are advised to review the owner’s manual to ensure familiarity with the vehicle warning lights, and should contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer if any warning light(s) is illuminated.
