NHTSA Recall History
1994-95 w/V6 engine:
Improper material was used in manufacturing radiator-fan motor shaft for VR6 engine, causing shaft to wear and become noisy; shaft could seize, rendering fan motor inoperative and eventually causing engine to overheat and stall.
1994-95:
Jack could collapse during use.
1994-95:
Misrouted rear brake line could be damaged by chafing, which may result in leakage and diminished braking in one circuit.
1994-96:
Bolts securing front hood latch can loosen over time, causing disengagement of hood striker from latch and possible unexpected opening of hood.
1997-98 Jetta:
If the vehicle is driven with a rear flat tire, the fuel-tank filler neck can wear, causing a fuel leak and possible fire.
