Recall 2006340

The issue

On certain Passat and Passat wagon, a vacuum line may fracture and become disconnected at low ambient temperatures. If this happens, brake power assist could become inoperative. As a result, the driver would experience increased effort to apply the brakes and therefore possible increased vehicle stopping distance. This could lead to a crash without warning. Correction: Dealers will install a re-designed vacuum line.

Description (français)

Sur certaines Passat et Passat familiale, un tube d'aspiration pourrait se briser et se débrancher à une température ambiante basse. Si cela se produisait, l'assistance au freinage pourrait cesser de fonctionner et le conducteur devrait donc faire un effort supplémentaire pour freiner, ce qui pourrait faire augmenter les distances de freinage et causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un tube d'aspiration repensé.
