Recalls for Volkswagen RABBIT 1975
Select a Volkswagen RABBIT 1975 recall from the list:
- STRUCTURE : BODY
- on some vehicles, the fender opening through which the antenna cable is routed may not be properly sealed. as a result, splashed water from the tires could enter passenger compartment through the opening, enter the fuse relay board and cause corrosion of the terminals. also, because water is a good conductor of electricity, the starter can be activated accidentally; the high flow of electricity may exhaust the battery within a short period of time. thus restarting the engine would become impossible and parking lights and emergency flashers would become inoperative.
- SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : FOUNDATION COMPONENTS : HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
- brake lines installed underneath the carpeting in the passenger compartment may rust due to the entry of water and road salt. if rusting remains unchecked, it produces leaks in the lines and brake fluid may be lost.
- VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL : CABLES
- the accelerator cable assembly in the involved vehicles could fail prematurely under certain operating conditions. this would either prevent the accelerator pedal from returning to the idle position or cause a loss of adequate engine power.
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM : STARTER ASSEMBLY : RELAY
- due to an improperly sealed antenna mounting hole, water could seap into the fuse relay board. the water entering the fuse relay board acts as a conductor of current, thereby charging the starter.
- STEERING : GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
- on the involved vehicles, the roller bearing inside the steering gear box could become dislocated. this could cause looseness and excessive play in the steering system.
- SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
- certain hydraulic brake hoses, p/n 171.611.107b, sold as replacement equipment for 1975-1985 volkswagen (vw) rabbit; 1985-1992 vw golf; and 1980-1992 vw jetta passenger vehicles. possible brake hose rupture could occur which fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "brake hoses."
