Details

On certain New Beetle and New Beetle convertible equipped with a 2.5L Engine, a fastening clamp on a hydraulic hose of the power steering system may be located in an improper position, which could cause chafing against an underhood fuel supply line.

If chafing occurs fuel leakage could develop which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and, if necessary, replace the fuel line.

In addition, as a preventive measure, the clamp will be adjusted accordingly.
