1990 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF Recalls (5)
- Campaign:
- 90V142000 on 08/21/1990
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper
- Manufactured:
- 01/31/1990 - 05/31/1990
- Affected:
- 11,000
- Defect:
- Omission of air ducts intended to guide flow of cooling air to left and right front brake calipers could allow brake fluid to exceed allowable operating temperature under certain operating conditions.
- Consequence:
- If brake fluid boils, this could result in reducedbraking pressure with potential for an accident.
- Correction:
- Install missing left and right front air ducts.
- Notes:
- System: brake caliper air ducts.vehicle description: passenger cars.
- Campaign:
- 92V050000 on 04/19/1992
- Component:
- Visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:heater core
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1984 - 12/31/1989
- Affected:
- 650,000
- Defect:
- The end cap connecting the heat exchanger's core to the engine cooling system could rupture and allow hot coolant to escape into the passenger compartment.
- Consequence:
- The coolant escaping into the passenger compartment couldcontact the driver's feet and injure the driver. also, steam from the heatedliquid will cloud on the window surfaces and impair the driver's vision andcould result in a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Replace the heater core with an improved heater core.
- Notes:
- System: water heater; heater core.vehicle description: passenger automobiles.
- Campaign:
- 92V058000 on 04/23/1992
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1985 - 05/31/1992
- Affected:
- 358,000
- Defect:
- The fuel hose attached to the fuel distribution rail on the engine may shrink beyond the clamp force of the fuel hose clamps, allowing fuel to leak.
- Consequence:
- Fuel leakage in the engine compartment can cause an underhood fire if the fuel comes in contact with a source of ignition.
- Correction:
- Replace the fuel hose attached to the fuel rail and install a new spring type self-tightening clamp.
- Notes:
- System: fuel lines.vehicle description:passenger cars.
- Campaign:
- 93V129000 on 08/12/1993
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1987 - 06/30/1991
- Affected:
- 76,000
- Defect:
- An engine preheating tube may not be properly supported due to a missing support bracket, causing the preheating tube to chafe against the right front metal brake line. this can damage the hydraulic line, causing brake fluid leakage and diminished braking in one brake circuit.
- Consequence:
- Diminished braking can result in increased stoppingdistances and a possible accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a preheating tube support bracket to ensure proper positioning relative to the right front metal brake line.
- Notes:
- System: brakes; hydraulic lines.vehicle description: passenger cars equipped with digifant engine managementsystems.
- Campaign:
- 06E018000 on 02/28/2006
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic
- Affected:
- 266
- Defect:

- Consequence:
- Brake hose rupture could result in loss of braking ability, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Foreign parts distributors will notify owners and replace the brake hoses with compliant brake hoses. the recall began on march 30, 2006. owners may contact foreign parts distributors at 305-885-8646 ext. 11.
