The document contains a campaign data sheet that informs of a replacement campaign (Fuse (Plug-in Position F16)). The issue was that The F16 position fuse could fail prematurely due to possible degradation of the fuse?s coating material. If this happens, it could cause a partial loss (but not a complete failure) of vehicle lighting, including the loss of DRL illumination on one side of the vehicle, which in turn could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during daylight hours. The corrective action of the campaign was to Replace the existing F16 position fuse with a new, optimized hard-coated fuse. The document also contains a FAQ of questions dealers may have.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10124394-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10124394-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10124394","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GTI","year_from":2009,"year_to":2009,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2009_volkswagen_gti"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","year_from":2009,"year_to":2010,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2009_volkswagen_jetta","2010_volkswagen_jetta"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
