- [2010444](/recalls/tc/2010444.md), 2010-12-10: Fuel System. On certain Golf, Golf wagon, Jetta and Rabbit equipped with a 2.5L Engine, a small plastic tab located on the windshield washer fluid reservoir may chafe against an underhood fuel supply line. If chafing occurs fuel leakage could develop which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and, if necessary, replace the fuel line.  In addition, as a preventive measure, the plastic tab from the windshield washer fluid reservoir will be removed.

On certain Golf, GTI, Jetta, Jetta wagon, New Beetle, New Beetle convertible, Passat and Passat wagon, the brake lamp switch may malfunction.  If this happens, the brake lamps could become inoperative; or could come on and stay on, even though the vehicle is parked.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the brake lamp switch with a newly revised version.  This action includes vehicles previously affected by Transport Canada recall 03\-184 and 04\-075.  The switch installed during this prior repair may not function properly. Note: parts available December 2006.
