Defect

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.

Consequence

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.

Corrective Action

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional switch and circuit board, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 11, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 37M2.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Against Rollaway Risk

NHTSA's recall listings identify a Key Removal and an Other component concern involving the shift-lever micro switch contacts. Silicate buildup may allow the ignition key to come out when the automatic transmission is not in Park. If that happens, the vehicle may roll away unexpectedly, creating a risk of a crash or personal injury. Waiting to investigate a recall can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A VIN check confirms whether the remedy is still needed, and Volkswagen's specified additional switch and circuit board can be installed by an authorized dealer at no charge. If you have received a recall notice or are uncertain about prior work, contact our team promptly.
