Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Brake Parts Inc. is recalling certain brake master cylinders sold under the Raybestos, NAPA, and AC Delco brand names for 2012-2017 Volkswagen Beetles, 2005-2018 Volkswagen Jettas, and 2007-2010 Volkswagen Jetta GLIs. The defect involves insufficient crimping of the aluminum housing, which can allow the master cylinder piston to pop out. If this occurs, drivers may experience a complete loss of braking or unintended brake application, significantly increasing crash risk. Owners may notice brake fluid leaking onto the vacuum booster or changes in brake pedal travel and feel before complete failure.
Brake Parts will provide a replacement part free of charge. The recall began August 13, 2020. Owners should contact the customer service line for the brand sold to them: NAPA at 1-800-272-5372, ACDelco/GM at 1-815-759-7328, or Raybestos at 1-800-323-0354. Brake Parts will notify distributors who sold the affected products.
