Recall 1995221
CA Recall: Engine
Note: includes passat, golf and jetta turbo diesel. on 1993-94 models, the radiator fan motor shaft could seize and render the fan motor inoperative. 1994-95 models could experience a condition whereby the lock nut securing the radiator fan blade hub to the motor could lose its required torque. a loose lock nut could cause the fan hub to loosen from the shaft and cause the belt pulley to run "off-center". this in turn could cause the fan belt to disconnect or break. either of the above conditions could result in engine overheating and stalling. a vehicle stalling in traffic could cause an accident. correction: vehicles with either have the complete cooling fan assembly replaced or a new fan blade with a new lock nut installed.
