Warranty Information Policies and Procedures Bulletin Number: VWP-22-18 Subject: Date: Dec. 20, 2022 Rear Brake Pad Limited Warranty Extension Questions - For any questions regarding this bulletin, please contact the Warranty Helpline at 1866-306-8447 or [email protected]. This document modifies the Volkswagen Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual. Rear Brake Pad Limited Warranty Extension Volkswagen has extended the Warranty coverage for the Rear Brake Pads from 1 year or 12,000 miles to 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first from the vehicle’s original in-service date, for certain 2020-2023 Model Year Jetta and 2022-2023 Model Year Taos vehicles. The vehicle’s original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a “demonstrator” or “company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service. What is Covered During the time/mileage period specified above, an authorized Volkswagen Dealer will replace Rear Brake Pads and any parts and labor necessary to effectuate a repair at no cost to the owner if diagnosis confirms Rear Brake Pads have failed from a Warranty defect or have failed due to premature wear. Rotors may be covered as consequential damage if they have failed as a direct result of the Rear Brake Pads failure. Dealers must provide detailed justification within the claim comments of SAGA to support reimbursement. Volkswagen Dealers are required to refer to the Repair Manual in Elsa for repair instructions and wear limits for the brake pads for each VIN. If diagnosis reveals that the vehicle has an unrelated issue(s), diagnosis and any necessary repairs to correct such issue(s) will not be covered under this warranty extension. Transferability This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners. Additional information This warranty extension does not cover damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as an accident, or vehicle misuse or neglect, nor does it cover repairs that are necessary for proper diagnosis of these conditions or that are required to bring the vehicle up to factory specifications. Vehicle Eligibility To determine if a vehicle is eligible for the Rear Brake Pad Limited Warranty Extension, check the VIN in Elsa > Vehicle Data. If the warranty extension is applicable to the vehicle, the “Warranty” section of the “Vehicle Data” screen will show Warranty Key “U94 Rear Brake Pad Warr Ext 2/24 from in-service date” indicating this vehicle is eligible for this Warranty Extension. © 2022 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
