Safety recalls for Jetta

Safety recalls for Jetta’s 2009 and 2010
Area affected: Power train: automatic transmission

Description of recall:
Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 passenger cars manufactured between September 2008 and august 2009. the wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the direct shift gearbox (DSG) may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped. With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to neutral. If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash. In addition, the "depress brake pedal" indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes.

Action to fix it:
Volkswagen will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software free of charge. The recall began on October 20, 2009. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.
