Problem Description:

On affected vehicles (rear-wheel drive only), the 12V battery charging cable may contact the steering column shaft, causing the cable insulation to wear through. If this happens, it may result in a short circuit. A short circuit can lead to a loss of motive power while driving which increases the risk of a crash. A short circuit in this case also increases the risk of a vehicle fire.

The affected cable is a low voltage cable; therefore there is no risk of a high-voltage electric shock to occupants or servicing technicians. A risk of potential damage to the steering system (due to electrical current passing through) cannot be ruled out.

 

Precautions:

If the vehicle develops a short circuit due to the recall condition, there will be warning messages in the display advising of low 12V battery charge while driving. In rare cases it is possible that there may be a burning smell, smoke, sparks or fire near the left front of the vehicle.

As a precaution, owners of affected vehicles are advised to park outside away from buildings or other structures and other vehicles due to the potential risk of vehicle fire due to this condition.

The affected cable is a low voltage cable; therefore there is no risk of a high-voltage electric shock to occupants or servicing technicians.

 

Corrective Action

Inspect the 12V battery charging cable and repair or replace it if necessary.

 

Code Visibility

On or about January 04, 2023, the campaign code will be applied to affected vehicles.

 

Owner Notification

Owner notification will take place in January 2023. Owner letter examples are included in this bulletin for your reference.

 

Repair Overview

Inspect clearance between 12V battery cable and steering shaft.

If necessary, re-position or replace cable.

Chronology :

December 8, 2022: During a pre-delivery inspection, a dealer noticed the subject production deviation on a single vehicle and reported it to VolkswageneBay.

December 14, 2022 โ€“ December 20, 2022: Based on the dealerโ€™s report, an internal investigation was conducted both with supplier and at the Chattanooga assembly plant to identify the potentially affected population, root cause, and potential safety impact of the deviation. It was found that certain 12V battery connecting cables received from the supplier were out of specification and could lead to the subject production deviation.

December 21, 2022: The topic was presented to the VolkswageneBay Product Safety Committee and the committee made the determination to conduct a safety recall.
