Brand
Volkswagen (223 alerts)
Type / model
Volkswagen Passat; chassis range: WVW_3C_6E 000057 to WVW_3C_6E 048020 and WVW_3C_6P 000013 to WVW_3C_6P 022951; saloon motor vehicle manufactured by Volkswagen AG; Model Passat 2.0 TDI
Risk
This product poses a serious risk of injuries because the two mass flywheel of a certain supplier can get damaged during extreme clutch engagements (jumping-back clutch pedal) because of a not optimally designed through-flow opening in the breather of the clutch pressure pipe. This could cause drivability issues and could cause the vehicle to stop suddenly in extreme circumstances causing an accident.
