The issue

On certain Passat and Passat Four Motion vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, an underbody heat shield may become damaged. If this occurs, the heat shield may contact the exhaust system, which can result in a vehicle fire. In addition, the affected vehicles may have a fuel line (1.8T engine only) or fuel tank ventilation valve (4motion / all-wheel drive vehicles only) that may leak due to fracture. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

Description (français)

Sur certaines Passat et Passat Four Motion munis d'une boîte de vitesses automatique, un bouclier thermique situé sous la carrosserie pourrait s'endommager. Dans un tel cas, le bouclier thermique pourrait entrer en contact avec le système d'échappement, ce qui pourrait causer un incendie. De plus, les véhicules visés pourraient comporter une canalisation de carburant (moteur 1,8 T seulement) ou une soupape de ventilation du réservoir de carburant (véhicules 4Motion® seulement) qui pourrait fuir à cause d'une fracture. En présence d'une source d'inflammation, une fuite de carburant pourrait causer un incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront effectuer les réparations.
