Due to parts supply issues, at this time Volkswagen is unable to begin repairing 2009 model year vehicles under the 28G1 recall. Therefore, code RNA1 has been temporarily assigned to the affected 2009 model year vehicles, in order to allow them to show in the VIN search tool as "Repair Not Yet Available." The RNA1 code will also be used to identify these vehicles in Elsa. An interim customer notification will be mailed to all affected 2009 MY Routan customers, advising them of the pending recall and letting them know that parts are not currently available.
