- [2006122](/recalls/tc/2006122.md), 2006-05-24: Lights And Instruments. 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.
- [2004435](/recalls/tc/2004435.md), 2004-12-13: Fuel System. On certain vehicle equipped with TDI\-PD \(Pumpe\-Düse\) engines, the high\-pressure diesel pumps were produced with improper fasteners.  In rare cases, one of these improper fasteners may yield due to repeated cyclic loading and allow diesel fuel to escape from the high\-pressure pump.  Diesel fuel in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a fire.  Additionally, due to the quantity of fuel that may be released, there is a crash risk posed to vehicles traveling behind the subject vehicle.  Correction:  Dealers will install a replacement diesel pump kit.
