Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volkswagen Group of America is recalling certain 2009-2012 Jetta and Jetta Sportwagen vehicles, 2010-2012 Golf vehicles, and 2010-2012 Audi A3 vehicles equipped with 2.0L TDI diesel engines that were manufactured between May 2008 and September 2011. Under certain driving conditions, fuel injection pulses can match the natural frequency of the number 2 injector line, creating additional stress that may cause small cracks to develop in this line, potentially leading to fuel leakage.
If leaking fuel contacts an ignition source, a fire could occur. Volkswagen and Audi will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles free of charge by installing an improved fuel injector line for the number 2 cylinder and vibration dampers on all injector lines. The recall was expected to begin in November 2011. Owners can contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987 for more information.
