Volkswagen Recall | Inspect Converter Box Wiring

312-628-4950
Service Action 97V3/U9| Blown fuse may result in loss of wipers and or headlights.

 

What is the problem?
The affected vehicles have an electrical wiring and fuse layout where the converter box is protected by the same fuse used by the signal horn and the anti-theft alarm system. If the fuse is blow (e.g. in case of an electrical short in the horn), the converter box is disconnected from the power supply, which, in turn, shuts off applications such as the engine management system, lighting system, and wipers. Should this happen while driving the vehicle, the engine could stall, or the wipers/headlights could turn off unexpectedly, potentially leading to a crash.


What will Volkswagen do?

In order to correct this defect, dealers will separate the wiring for the horn and the theft protection horn from the power supply of the converter box and route the wires to separate fuses; free of charge.
