Volkswagen radiator may not have been attached correctly to the intercooler, which can result in a damaged coolant hose.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the cooling system radiator assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The radiator may not have been attached correctly to the intercooler, which can result in a damaged coolant hose.
A damaged coolant hose can leak, causing the engine to overheat, and increasing the risk of fire. In addition, large amounts of coolant spilling onto the roadway can increase the risk of a crash to other vehicles.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the radiator and replace any damaged parts, as necessary, free of charge.
