Brake servo rod incorrectly screwed (2019-2021 Passat and Arteon recall)
Manufacturer recallA recall concerns Arteons and Passats built between 15 November 2019 and 12 May 2021: the push rod may not be correctly screwed onto the brake servo and can disconnect. The pedal is then no longer mechanically linked to the brake servo; stopping is only possible through the emergency braking control of the electric parking brake. Around 6,000 vehicles are concerned in France according to Caradisiac (recall code 47R3). Check with Volkswagen, using the serial number, that the recall has been carried out.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
