The defect
Due to a production fault, over time a crack in the transmissions pressure accumulator can occur.
Advertisement
The hazard
If the pressure accumulator cracks, oil and pressure is lost in the hydraulic system of the gearbox. As a result, the transmission of engine power via the gearbox is interrupted. The experience of this symptom would be comparable to depressing the clutch in a vehicle fitted with a manual transmission. This could increase the likelihood of an accident affecting the occupants of the vehicle and other road users.
The remedy
Owners can contact their nearest Volkswagen Dealer to schedule an appointment to have the work carried out at no cost.
