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.

Car was purchased recently from used car dealer Unique Imports in Tucson. Car was being driven by my wife onto I10 at about 50mph and suddenly lost drive. There was no power being transmitted either from the electric motor or the gasoline engine. With foot on the gas pedal as the car lost speed the gas engine was heard revving but there was no drive. She stopped the car put hazards on and called me. I drove to the car, swapped with her and waited an hour. I was able to start the car and by that time drive had returned so I retrieved the car and returned the short distance home. Then on 10/29 the car was being driven along Tangerine Road and the same problem recurred. A complete loss of drive without warning, necessitating a careful pull over without power onto the hard shoulder. A sudden loss of drive like this is dangerous but fortunately this did not happen on the Interstate this time. Again I drove out to the stranded car, swapped cars and waited. I was able to return home a distance of about 5 miles although the problem recurred twice on the way and each time I had to pull over on the dirt shoulder and wait with hazard signal active for some time for the transmission to restore drive. When it did, it took longer each time. I called VW North America to see if this vehicle was subject to the recall for the mechatronic unit malfunction that causes clutch drivetrain failures exactly like this one. This car had no open recalls in spite of the symptoms, failure mode and driving risk all matching NHTSA 19V-866 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RCLRPT-19V866-3182.PDF I was informed by VW NA that there was a recall work undertaken by VW North Scottsdale earlier in 2021 pertaining to this issue. The car is not safely driveable until this issue is resolved. Clearly this is not an isolated event. This dangerous failure mode is a systematic problem with this model of vehicle that should be fully addressed by the manufacturer despite the previous recall

This is the same as Campagin number 19V866000 (VW recall number 34J6). Hairline cracks have developed in the mechatronic unit, causing transmission oil leaks and decreases in oil pressure. Loss of power greatly increases the risk of a crash, because the issue is largest at low speeds or after stopping.

There is a recall on 2013-2015 VW Jetta Hybrid transmissions. I have a 2013 VW Jetta Hybrid. on September 21, 2021, the transmission malfunctioned, causing the clutch to fail to engage, resulting in the car being unable to drive. My wife was driving the car by herself on a a busy interstate in Denver, Colorado (I-25) at approximately 3 PM. She was stranded on a highway in rush hour traffic for approximately 15 minutes as our stalled car held up traffic and was dangerous for my wife to sit in the car during this time. It was a stressful situation for my wife that threatened not only her safety but of others that drove on I-25 that afternoon. After approximately 15 minutes the clutch was able to engage again and the car was able to drive. The car is available for inspection. I believe the problem has been identified because there is a recall out for the 2013-2015 VW Jetta Hybrid! They have not contacted me about repairing this recall. I asked the local VW dealer about this and they have not addressed the problem. The vehicle has been inspected by the local dealer, but not police, insurance representatives or others. No known issues occurred with this car for the 8 years I have owned it and been the sole owner.

I'm hoping you can help me. I have a 2013 Jetta Hybrid SE 1.4L auto pzev with 47,000 original miles. I'm the second owner and I purchased it with 19,000 original miles. I've never missed an oil change and always kept it up to date with maintenance. I was driving on the street and my check engine light came on, as I was making a turn at about 35 miles an hour my car acted like it kicked into neutral and when pressing the gas just revved the engine. I safely pulled over to the side and had the car towed to a mechanic. He took a look and said there was a significant leak coming from the transmission and I should take it to a VW dealership because there are a lot of recalls for this type of stuff. I had it towed to VW and they said it was a hairline crack in the transmission that caused an oil leak into the electronic gearbox which caused the loss of control and power. They said there is no recall and it would be a $12,000.00 fix. The car has 47K original miles on it, no wrecks, and I've never missed an oil change. Had I not quickly reacted I could of caused a car accident injuring or killing myself or someone else. This is unbelievable that VW is not being held responsible for this. There is a recall for this exact problem Recall Number: 34J6 but for some reason it does no include my specific Jetta. How is that possible?

What component or system failed. Mechatronics unit on 2013 VW Hybrid SEL Premium. Available for inspection. Yes Safety. Driving the vehicle with a cold engine will cause a complete loss of power Reproduced by dealer or ISC. Somewhat. They've confirmed a loss of transmission pressure which is in line with Recall 34J6 in May/June 2021, but my specific VIN doesn't apply to the 34J6 recall. Due to VW, the dealership was unable to inform me exactly what was wrong with the transmission but only that it needed to be replaced at a cost of $7400. Campaign / Recall 38C4 was applied to the vehicle 04/25/20 @ 55,579 miles. Inspected by VW Dealership. Warning Lamps: "Error Hybrid system Contact Dealer now!" "Automatic transmission malfunction" Automatic transmission malfunction (flashing wrench symbol & selector symbol)" First noticed October 2020.

There was a legal settlement between the US and VW in 2016. This settlement provided mandates upon the company to perform repairs and give warranty to owners of VW vehicles, so the vehicles are in a safe and emissions responsible manner. This settlement info can be seen at www.vw.courtsettlement.com The main part that applies to our situation is: We purchased a 2013 VW Jetta TDI on 12/30/20 with 179,109 miles. Prior to that, it had the Emissions Modification done to it. We purchased vehicle from the original owner, and we are the 2nd owner, per VIN report Our purchase was the 1st resale transaction done after the modification completed We purchased the vehicle in good faith and for purposes other than resale We purchased the vehicle due to the warranty. The vehicle currently should have a 4 year 48,000 mile court ordered warranty starting 12/30/20 and at 179,109 miles. If followed by court order, this warranty is good until 12/30/24 or 227,109 miles. Since this vehicle was purchased 6 months 14,000 miles into warranty, it still has 34,000 miles or good until 12/30/2024. VW has refused to honor there court ordered warranty. This potentially is putting a vehicle that is in need of safety repairs at risk of a danger on roadway by not honoring warranty. Term of agreement at www.vwcourtsettlement.com Not only are they not fulfilling there obligations as they should under the terms of settlement, they are egregiously allowing vehicles to be driven around with clogged filters emitting more pollution that they should, when they have since agreed to fix them as they were rigged unlawfully to settle the VW corporate violations within the US They should immediately honor this warranty with this VW owner and recompense me for warranty related expenses they incurred of approx $750. The VIN for this vehicle is 3VWLL7AJ0DM[XXX] One owner of the vehicle is [XXX] Contact info [XXX] [XXX], [XXX], [XXX] [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

On 05/21/2021 while merging onto the I-5 freeway in Olympia at high speed the EPC dash light came on and the car lost all acceleration and had to swerve off onto the shoulder to avoid any collision (felt like car had stalled). Luckily it was in early AM so traffic was not as bad as normal. Once on the shoulder the car would not move. Contacted Geico and had car towed into the closest Volkswagon service center once they opened. After the inspection (05/24/2021) was told that the mechatronic unit had failed and there were metal shards throughout the transmission that couldn't be removed, so the entire transmission would need to be replaced. There was no warning of the failure; there was a check engine light on previously for a different mechanical issue (vacuum pump) that began 03/10/2021. At that time the car was closely inspected at a VW dealership and I was told safe to drive until I could get it repaired (just hybrid system would no longer function). At that time they updated some software on the car for a separate recall (38C4). The car has been inspected by two separate Volkswagon service centers, Volkswagon of Olympia (where the car is currently for the transmission failure), and back on 03/10/2021 at the Burlington WA Volkswagon dealership. Researched the issue and this particular model and production year had been recalled under #34F6, however for whatever reason my VIN number was not included in the recall. I believe this car should have been included in that recall.

DURING NORMAL AROUND-TOWN OPERATION THE VEHICLE (2013 JETTA HYBRID) EXPERIENCED A TEMPORARY LOSS OF DRIVE POWER. IT FELT LIKE THE CLUTCH SLIPPED OR BECAME DISENGAGED MOMENTARILY (3 SECONDS). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED. WE IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THAT WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. AFTER READING OUT A DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODE (P0841 - TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE) AND NOTING THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS DARK AND CONTAMINATED WITH A BURNT SMELL, THE INITIAL SHOP DECIDED THE REPAIR WAS BEYOND THEIR ABILITY AS IT SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH WHICH IS EMBEDDED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CASE UNDER 600 PSI PRESSURE. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITHOUT INCIDENCE A FEW MILES (5) TO THE LOCAL DEALER, WHERE FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS TOOK PLACE. THEY UNCOVERED 2 ADDITIONAL ERROR CODES (P1806- FUNCTION RESTRICTION DUE TO PRESSURE DROP) AND (P17713 - CLUTCH TOLERANCE). AFTER A FEW DAYS OF INTERNAL DEBATE AT VW (I BELIEVE THEY CONTACTED THE CHIEF ENGINEER OR GURU FOR THAT PARTICULAR UNIT), THE DEALER CAME BACK WITH THE PROGNOSIS THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT THE COST OF ABOUT $9000. IN THE WEEKS PREVIOUS TO THIS EPISODE, WE HAD NOTICED WHAT FELT LIKE A MILD SLIPPING OF THE CLUTCH, BUT NEVER A FULL LOSS OF POWER AND NO CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT. THE PROBLEMS WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOUND IDENTICAL TO THOSE REPORTED IN NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 19V866000 (VW'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 34J6), WHICH STATES 'HAIRLINE CRACKS CAN DEVELOP WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC GEARBOX (MECHATRONIC UNIT), CAUSING AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION OIL LEAK AND A DECREASE IN OIL PRESSURE. A DECREASE IN TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE CLUTCH TO FAIL TO ENGAGE, RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF DRIVE POWER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.' IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CURRENT RECALL PERHAPS NEEDS TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE. THIS CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS 47K MILES.
