Warranty Information Policies and Procedures Bulletin Number: VWP-13-05 Subject: Engine Exhaust Flap Limited Warranty Extension (US Dealers) Date: Mar. 12, 2013 This document modifies the Volkswagen Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual. Engine Exhaust Flap Limited Warranty Extension Volkswagen has extended the Emissions Control Systems Warranty for engine exhaust flap replacement under specific conditions to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s original in-service date, for certain 2009 – 2012 Model Year Volkswagen 2.0 L TDI® Clean Diesel Engine vehicles with engine codes CBEA, CJAA and CKRA. This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners. 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 the Problem Volkswagen has determined that under specific conditions, certain deficiencies affecting the engine exhaust flap could make the engine exhaust flap susceptible to degraded performance. If this happens, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster may illuminate due to the presence of specific fault codes caused by a faulty engine exhaust flap. Volkswagen has not identified any vehicle drivability concerns related to this issue. Please be aware that other conditions (unrelated to the issue described in this bulletin) may cause the MIL in the vehicle to illuminate. Customers should be prepared to cover all diagnosis and repair costs for these other, unrelated conditions.
