## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain 2019 Arteon vehicles.  The electronic brake booster pressure  input rod may be installed incorrectly, possibly causing an increased actuating force or a disconnected input rod.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."


## What can happen

An increased actuating force or a disconnected input rod may affect braking, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the mounting of the pressure rod only or replace the electronic brake booster and mounting of the pressure rod, depending of the inspection results, free of charge.  The recall began April 3, 2020.  Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298.  Volkswagen's number for this recall is 47P8.
