1985 VOLKSWAGEN CABRIOLET Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1985 Volkswagen Cabriolet has 2 recalls, both involving fuel delivery failures that can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving, creating a hazard for surrounding traffic. In one case, the fuel transfer pump can bind up in high temperatures, cutting off fuel to the engine without warning. The other involves an in-tank fuel pump that can seize in hot weather because a very fine mesh filter restricts fuel flow too severely, with the same result: the engine loses power and the vehicle stops on the road.
