Tenneco Automotive (Tenneco) is recalling certain Beck/Arnley Master Cylinders, part number 072-9831, sold as aftermarket or replacement parts for 2004-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle vehicles. The fluid seal crimp on the master cylinder may be insufficient, causing brake fluid to leak or the cylinder to come apart.
If there is a brake fluid leak, it can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Beck/Arnley will notify the distributors that sold the master cylinders and will work with the distributors to notify the end users. Affected master cylinders will be exchanged for a new master cylinder (part number 072-9990), free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020.

Vehicle speed control, Other or unspecified, Service brakes, May 21, 2025
When you turn on the vehicle, the abs and traction light illuminates. The light that says "BRAKE" also illuminates and the vehicle beeps 3 times. When driving the vehicle, the red light "BRAKE" flashes constantly, while the ABS and traction control light remains illuminated but no flashes. The dealership says it's a fault ABS module and Hydraulic Pump Assembly. I researched and found a Volkswagen safety recall code: 45F2 (published March 17, 2017) that seems very applicable to my vehicle. Safety concerns include but are not limited to the following: loss of vehicle control, failure to brake properly, auto engagement of brakes not by the driver, etc. All safety concerns may cause my life or the life of another individual.

FAULT ON ANTI LOCKING BRAKE (ABS), INDICATED BY ILLUMINATION ON DASH, ESC LIGHT ON AND FLASHING BRAKE LIGHT ON. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THAT ISSUE AS LISTED IN SAFETY RECALL 16V-913 APPLIES TO OTHER VEHICLES NOT LISTED ON VIN RANGE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS OTHERS HAVE INDICATED THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS ON THEIR MODELS NOT COVERED BY VIN RECALL. CUSTOMER SERVICE (VW) WAS CALLED, PER DEALER DIRECTION AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AT VW DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO READ THE VIN CODES OR CAN TELL ME WHICH VIN CODE MAKES THE FAULTY ABS MODULE APPLICABLE OR NOT APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE.
Service brakes, Nov 22, 2022
On certain vehicles, a fault within the antilock brake system (ABS) may cause the module to fail during ABS and/or electronic stability control (ESC) activation. This will cause warning lights for ABS, brake and the ESC systems to illuminate. If this happens, the brake system related vehicle stabilizing functions (ABS/ESC) may not be available, increasing the risk of a loss of vehicle control and could lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage
Service brakes, Apr 9, 2022
After a hard braking situation, the ABS, Traction Control, and Brake warning lights activated. A computer scan by the dealer indicated the ABS system failed and needs replacement (computer printout and repair estimate attached). There is a recall (16V-913) for the identical issue for the same year/make/model of my vehicle; however, the date of production is different.

The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall.

Service brakes, Air, Nov 5, 2021
The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the ABS warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS module, stabilizer links, and carbon manifold needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. While the owner does not expect VW to pay for the stabilizer links or carbon manifold repairs, they do expect the ABS module to be covered because it was the same faulty module which was in all the other 2009 and 2010 Jettas which were recalled previously. This specific vehicle was, I believe, limited to 1,000 vehicles as it is a limited edition version of the 2010 VW Jetta. It does, however, have the same ABS module as the 2010 Jettas with the open recall. VW Corporate as well as Platinum VW in Hicksville were informed about the recall for 45F2 which recalled the ABS module on most VW Jettas from 2009 to 2010. We were told that our vehicle, for unknown reasons, was not part of that recall. Mind you, this is DESPITE having the same exact failure of the ABS module and Traction Control as the regular 2010 VW Jettas We got the vehicle repaired and had to pay a very large amount of money to replace and repair the module which should have been covered under the recall. We should not be penalized because we have a more limited edition of a vehicle, please help, thank you! I've attached the invoices and payment slips from VW and Eagle Nest Motors which analyzed and repaired the vehicle.

My ABS system light has been on, but I haven't had the funds to take care of it. I inherited the car after my daughter passed away, so I don't know how long it's been on. I was just told by my mechanic that there was a recall for this very issue. I'm not in a position to pay what they're asking, but it seems like I shouldn't have to since there was a recall for this. I don't know why your website says there are no recalls for my car, but I feel I fall in this category for the ABS recall. I had a woman pull out in front of me and my car's system didn't work
Electrical system, Service brakes, Oct 5, 2021
the vehicle ABS module failed back in Nov2020 and was brought to local VW Dealer and diagnosed as bad module. fast forward to Aug 2021 and ABS module failed again and bad wiring was found which is why the first module failed to begin with in my belief. both times when the module failed was after my wife slammed on brakes hard activating the ABS system which in turn caused the warning lights to come on and car go into limp mode. I tried limping the car to the dealership for repair and was almost hit by a large truck coming from behind as I had no response from the accelerator pedal. I am not sure why this particular VIN was never added to the recall list as it fits the criteria as all other vehicles experiencing this issue. we paid $2600 the first time for the repair and are now out more money to have this known problem fixed again !

2010 VW JETTA SE NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING TEH VEHICLE USED IN 2016, THE ABS AND ESC LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON. WE DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANY CHANGE IN THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, BUT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIGHTS BEING ON, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT CONCERNED THE BRAKES AND STABILITY. ON 6/14/19 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CHECKED OUT. THE RECEIPT FROM THAT VISIT SHOWED THAT THE ABS PUMP AND MODULE HAD FAULTS. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACING BOTH AT A COST OF $2,610. WE ASKED THE SERVICE PERSON WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE DIDN'T REPLACE THEM AND HE SAID THE BRAKES WOULD STILL WORK BUT THE ABS MIGHT NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, BUT THAT WE SHOULD BE OK. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIGHTS ON MOST OF THE TIME SINCE THEN WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE PERFORMANCE CHANGE; HOWEVER, PERFORMANCE IS STARTING TO BECOME AN ISSUE. THE ABS AND ESC LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REMAINING ILLUMINATED FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. ALSO IN THE LAST MONTH OR TWO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW STARTING TO COME ON PERIODICALLY WITH A CORRESPONDING ISSUE WITH THE STEERING BEING MORE DIFFICULT. WE ARE BECOMING MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. AS A RESULT, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP THIS WEEK TO GET THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT. HE INFORMED US THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL (16V913000) THAT WOULD CORRECT ALL OF THESE ISSUES. HE GAVE US A COPY OF THE RECALL AND SAID WE WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL VW DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THE RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE, SO I THEN CALLED THE NATIONAL VW CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HAVE VW HONOR THE RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE?
