Extended Inspection for New, Unused, Unsold Model Year 2015 Volkswagen 2.0L TDI Vehicles in Dealer
Stock with Less than 1,000 Miles
Technical Background
New, unused, unsold Model Year 2015 Volkswagen 2.0L TDI vehicles in dealer stock with less than 1,000 miles
may require additional attention prior to retail sale.
To support dealers in preparing these vehicles for sale, and to help ensure a positive customer delivery
experience, Volkswagen is offering a sales preparation program that allows dealers to prepare these vehicles
before sale (within certain parameters).
Certain services will be mandated for all new, unsold Model Year 2015 VW 2.0L TDI dealer stock vehicles with
less than 1,000 miles in order to bring these vehicles in line with maintenance cycles and proper detailing. Some
vehicles may require additional services in order to mitigate any extreme or environmental effects.

for the approved emissions modification.
The IN-FORM tool can be accessed here: https://tdi-inform.track360.com/. Not using the IN-FORM tool to
properly document and validate the modification will stop the processing of payment for your dealership even if
the modification has been completed.
Note:
It is critical to ensure that all six components included in the 23Q3 Emissions Recall Circular Appendix A –
Requirements for Vehicles within “New” Inventory are applied to the vehicle. Please refer to the latest 23Q3
Emissions Recall Circular for more information on the additional requirements.
