Transport Canada recall 2016629 · manufacturer campaign 45F2 / 45F5

Transport Canada lists: A 3 2009 · Eos 2009 · Golf 2009–2010 · Gti 2009 · and 2 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a fault within the antilock brake system (ABS) may cause the module to fail during ABS and/or electronic stability control (ESC) activation. This will cause warning lights for ABS, brake and the ESC systems to illuminate. If this happens, the brake system related vehicle stabilizing functions (ABS/ESC) may not be available, increasing the risk of a loss of vehicle control and could lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the ABS control module with improved diagnostic capability to detect insufficient PCU ground connection. ABS modules with insufficient ground connections will be replaced.

Transport Canada recall 2009249 · manufacturer campaign 37E3/S7, 37E5/J7

20 August 2009

Transport Canada lists: A 3 2009–2010 · TT 2009–2010 · Eos 2009–2010 · Gti 2009–2010 · and 1 more

What is wrong

On certain Audi A3, TT, TT Roadster, and Volkswagen EOS, Golf wagon, GTI, Jetta and Jetta wagon equipped with a Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), the wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the DSG may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped during assembly. As such, the temperature sensor could falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the transmission to abruptly shift to the Neutral position. A loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing personal injury or death.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module with updated software..
