ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Safety Recalls

Moderate #19V615000 NHTSA Official Language
Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."
Risk if Unfixed
Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
