Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Volkswagen Group Australia
Recall date: 3 November 2009
The direct shift gearbox (DSG) may read the clutch temperature incorrectly and activate the clutch protection function. This will illuminate a flashing gear warning light and cause juddering of the vehicle, a reduction in engine torque, and opening of the clutch (as if the gearbox were in 'neutral').
Loss of power to the wheels may in certain circumstances pose a hazard to the vehicle occupants and other road users.
A letter has been sent to affected owners. Customers can contact their local dealer to arrange for a vehicle check-up, and if necessary, repair of the fault.
