- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2022533
- Manufacturer's number: 19Q8
- Reported: 2022\-09\-21
- Component: Engine
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 2477

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the radiator may not be attached correctly. As a result, a coolant hose could be damaged by contact with the serpentine belt pulley and create a coolant leak. If this happens, coolant could spill onto the road and cause a red warning light to turn on in the instrument cluster. If you ignore the warning light and continue driving, the engine could overheat.

Safety Risk:

A coolant leak could create a hazard for other road users. Additionally, an engine that overheats could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Action:

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to ensure that the radiator is attached correctly. If it is loose, the coolant hose and serpentine belt will also be checked for damage, and replaced if necessary.
