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. Owners may contact Tenneco customer service at 1-800-625-9319.

THE FUEL INJECTION PULSES COULD COINCIDE WITH THE NATURAL FREQUENCY OF THE INJECTOR LINE #2, IN SPECIFIC LOAD AND RPM CONDITIONS. THIS RESONANCE CREATES ADDITIONAL STRESS IN THE FUEL LINE.
DUE TO THE RESONANCE CONDITION, INJECTOR LINE NUMBER 2 COULD DEVELOP SMALL CRACKS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FUEL LEAKAGE. LEAKING FUEL IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, MAY LEAD TO A FIRE.
VOLKSWAGEN WILL INSTALL AN IMPROVED FUEL INJECTOR LINE FOR THE NUMBER 2 CYLINDER ON CERTAIN VEHICLES AND WILL INSTALL VIBRATION DAMPERS ON ALL OF THE INJECTOR LINES. VOLKSWAGEN AND AUDI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS TO HAVE THE VEHICLES REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLKSWAGEN AT 1-800-822-8987.

DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING FOR MY VW JETTA S 2.5 L. WHEN I PRESS THE CAR KEY TO LOCK THE DOOR, IT GIVES SOUND THAT EVERYTHING IS LOCKED. ONE DAY TO MY HORROR, I SAW SOMEONE OPENING MY CAR AT NIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY RANG ALARM, WENT TO MY CAR AND CHECKED EVERY DOOR TO FIND THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING LOCKED. NO MANUAL LOCKS FOR THIS VEHICLE TOO. THIS REALLY QUESTIONS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO VW SERVICE. THEY TOLD THAT MECHANICAL PART OF LATCH FAILED. THEY TOLD THAT SINCE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PARTS COME TOGETHER BOTH WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF 670 BUCKS. THAT'S TOO MUCH FOR A SINGLE DOOR.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Oct 11, 2019
AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I KNOW THAT MANY VWS, INCLUDING 2010 JETTAS LIKE MINE, WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL FOR CLOCK SPRING. I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AND THIS SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE BY VW. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT AND THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY THE $125 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. HAVE READ MANY STORIES OF HOW YOU ARE RECEIVING MY COMPLAINTS FROM VW OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN LESS HELPFUL. CALLED YESTERDAY AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR. THEY SAID THERE NO SUPERVISOR WOULD BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON. PLEASE EXPEDITE I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HAVE BEEN LOYAL VW CUSTOMER SINCE 1998 BUT GIVEN THIS EXPERIENCE AND THE COMPANY'S RECENT ETHICAL MALFEASANCE, AM NOT SURPRISED THE COMPANY IS STRUGGLING TO STAY AFLOAT.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Sep 23, 2019
TURNED ON THE CAR ONE DAY AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASH. IT LASTED FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN WENT AWAY, BUT CAME BACK AGAIN A DAY LATER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO GET IT INSPECTED AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED, WHICH COST ME OVER $2000. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY CAR BUT A DIFFERENT ENGINE TYPE, THEREFORE, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY CAR (ACCORDING TO THE VIN AND YOUR WEBSITE). THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER THAT I AM REFERENCING IS 16V913000. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS I AM NOT ALONE IN MY FRUSTRATIONS AND THAT MANY OTHERS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

" I AM ATTACHING A DOCUMENT WITH A COPY OF THE TBS . THE PART THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT VOLKSWAGEN KNOW THAT THEY HAD THAT EFFECT AND MY CAR HAS IT BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT HAVE MY CAR INT HE LIST THEY DO NOT WANT TO HONOR THE RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS? THANKS.

MY 2010 JETTA WOLFSBURG'S LOCKS DO NOT WORK WHENEVER IT RAINS - DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKED WHEN UNLOCK CAR, BUT OTHER DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. HAVE TO USE KEY TO OPEN DOOR. FURTHERMORE, THE PASSENGER DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL SO CAN BE OPENED WHEN PARKED AT A LIGHT, ETC. THE CAR HAS A SUNROOF AND WHEN RAINS CONDENSATION BUILDS UP AROUND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE (HAVE SEEN MILDEW AND MOLD GROWING SO CLEAN AFTER EVER RAIN). RADIO WAS WORKING AND DIED DURING RAIN. FUSES ARE OK. DEALER SAYS RADIO IS DEAD AND $900 TO REPLACE WITH A FACTORY ONE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SIDE AIRBAGS WORKING ALONG WITH BEING ABLE TO OPEN A DOOR THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED.

I AM TRULY NOT SURE. IT IS GOING INTO THE SHOP TOMORROW. ALTHOUGH, I JUST PURCHASED IT USED, AND WHEN I PARK IT ON A HILL. IT MAKES THIS ODD SOUND AS IF THE BODY IS GOING TO FALL APART? I SMELL A BURNING METAL SMELL AS WELL. IT WAS PARKED ON A HILL SO IT WAS STATIONARY, JUST NOT SURE WHAT IT IS. I KNOW IT IS USED BUT I ONLY HAD IT FOR 1 MONTH!

AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY WITH NO PROBLEM, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I DROVE A LITTLE FURTHER AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN OFF EITHER. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS AND WD-40, THEY WE ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF. IT APPEARS THAT THE ISSUE IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS WITH VOLKSWAGEN, YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE ABOUT $650. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED ELECTRICAL ISSUES INVOLVING ABS AND AIRBAGS THAT WERE CLOSE TO $2000. AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I'M READY TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND NEVER OWN ANOTHER VOLKSWAGEN.

THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM IN MY 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WOLFSBURG EDITION FAILED, RENDERING THE CAR IMMOBILE.
