1999 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF Recalls Canada & USA

1999 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1999 Volkswagen Golf has 4 recalls, the two most serious both involving fire risk: a cracked fuel pump nipple that can leak gasoline near ignition sources, and a sound-absorbing mat inside the B-pillar trim that can ignite from the seatbelt pretensioner's exhaust gases in a front or side collision. A brake light switch may have been installed incorrectly on some vehicles, causing the brake lights to stay on continuously or stop working altogether, which removes the warning signal to drivers behind you. On 2.8L VR6 models, the tire pressure label understates the recommended cold inflation by about 1.5 PSI, which can affect handling over time if owners rely on the printed figure.
