NHTSA Recall History

1990 Jetta: Power-steering-pump bracket on some cars could break.
1990: Brake fluid may exceed allowable operating temperature.
1990: End cap connecting heat exchanger's core to engine-cooling system could rupture and allow hot coolant to escape into passenger compartment.
1990-91: Engine preheating tube may not be supported, and may chafe against right front brake line.
1990-92 GLI/GTI w/16-valve engine and California Emissions: Throttle plate may not return to full idle position.
1991 California Jettas w/cruise control: Lock-nut rod may not have been properly torqued, so adjustment could change.
1991 Jetta: Some front-brake hoses are too short and could stretch and develop cracks, which could result in fluid leakage and loss of braking ability.
1992 Jetta: On a few 4-door sedans with electric windows, rear-door panel openings have sharp edges that can damage insulation of wiring harness, resulting in short circuit and potential for fire.
