Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2009 Routan vehicles because the ignition switch may inadvertently move to the OFF or ACCESSORY position due to road conditions or jarring events, causing the engine to shut down. When this occurs, critical safety systems including airbags, power steering, and power braking lose power, which increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners and provide a free ignition switch modification at authorized dealers. Until the repair is completed, owners should remove all items from their key rings except the ignition key and remove any key fob from the key ring. Affected owners can contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987 for more information, and an interim notice was mailed to owners on August 29, 2014.
