1981 Volkswagen Dasher

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Disc:Caliper

Consequence of Defect

on certain vehicles, porous spots may have developed on the interior surface of the threaded hole for the brake hose during the moulding process. these spots allow brake fluid to seep from the calipers during heavy brake applications.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

both front brake calipers will be inspected for brake fluid seepage and will be replaced, if necessary, without charge.

1980 Volkswagen Dasher

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Fuel Injection System

Consequence of Defect

the fuel pump may stop functioning without warning. this can occur because an electrical connector in the fuse panel may overheat and interrupt the electrical circuit.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect the fuse box and its connectors for corrosion, and correct where necessary. a bypass adapter to the fuel pump electrical circuit will be installed.
