{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2004436","date":"2004-12-13","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Electrical","summary":"On certain vehicles, the hazard switch and flasher system function may degrade over time because of distortion and material transfer of the contacts of certain hazard switch relays which occurs due to substantially increased electrical current load from higher-wattage turn signal bulbs.  The subject vehicles utilize a 27-watt turn signal bulb, instead of the 21-watt bulb used in other VW vehicles, which results in substantially higher current draw through the hazard switch relay.  This may result in intermittent or inoperative turn signal and hazard flasher function.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the hazard switch relay.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"VX","part_number":null,"units":80752,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, l'interrupteur des feux de secours et le système permettant d'actionner les clignotants pourraient moins bien fonctionner à la longue à cause d'une distortion et d'un transfert de matière des contacts de certains relais de l'interrupteur des feux de secours, causé par l'utilisation d'ampoules de clignotants d'une puissance plus élevée. Les véhicules touchés utilisent des ampoules de 27 watts au lieu des ampoules de 21 watts qui équipent d'autres véhicules de marque VW; ces ampoules de 27 watts provoquent une circulation de courant passablement plus élevée à travers le relais de l'interrupteur des feux de secours. Cela pourrait provoquer un fonctionnement intermittent ou une panne complète des clignotants et des feux de secours. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le relais de l'interrupteur des feux de secours."},"vehicles":[{"year":2000,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GOLF","vehicle_id":"2000_volkswagen_golf","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2001,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GOLF","vehicle_id":"2001_volkswagen_golf","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GOLF","vehicle_id":"2002_volkswagen_golf","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2000,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GTI","vehicle_id":"2000_volkswagen_gti","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2001,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GTI","vehicle_id":"2001_volkswagen_gti","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"GTI","vehicle_id":"2002_volkswagen_gti","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2000,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","vehicle_id":"2000_volkswagen_jetta","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2001,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","vehicle_id":"2001_volkswagen_jetta","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"VOLKSWAGEN","model":"JETTA","vehicle_id":"2002_volkswagen_jetta","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2004436"}
