Service bulletin VWS-12-05

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Warranty Information (Claim Processing for the Volkswagen DoubleCheck): Volkswagen has re-defined the Courtesy Vehicle Check and re-named it to the Volkswagen DoubleCheck. From the SAGA claim information perspective there are no changes (see the table below). There are, however, changes to the claim submission time and mileage limitations. Effective with claim reception date of December 1, 2012, claims for the 30-day Volkswagen DoubleCheck must be submitted in SAGA within 90 days of the vehicle?s in-service date, regardless of mileage. The Volkswagen DoubleCheck may only be claimed once per VIN.
