This concern is caused by the engine torque being slightly high when the transmission goes into Neutral Control. Neutral Control is designed to reduce load on the engine during idle, in order to decrease emissions. The production solution to this issue was improved software for smoother stopping.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10125825-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10125825-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10125825","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"software","name":"Software","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"BEETLE","year_from":2011,"year_to":2011,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"BEETLE","year_from":2012,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2012_volkswagen_beetle","2013_volkswagen_beetle"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"BEETLE CONVERTIBLE","year_from":2012,"year_to":2013,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2012_volkswagen_beetle","2013_volkswagen_beetle"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GOLF","year_from":2011,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_volkswagen_golf","2012_volkswagen_golf","2013_volkswagen_golf"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GOLF WAGON","year_from":2011,"year_to":2013,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2011_volkswagen_golf","2012_volkswagen_golf","2013_volkswagen_golf"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","year_from":2011,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_volkswagen_jetta","2012_volkswagen_jetta","2013_volkswagen_jetta"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA SPORTWAGEN","year_from":2011,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_volkswagen_jetta-sportwagen","2012_volkswagen_jetta-sportwagen","2013_volkswagen_jetta-sportwagen"]},{"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"PASSAT","year_from":2011,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2011_volkswagen_passat","2012_volkswagen_passat","2013_volkswagen_passat"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
