New Recalls

[Tom and Teecy Matthews <tmmatthews@worldnet.att.net>]

Direct from the NHTSA site (also applies to Jettas):

Year: 1995
Make: VOLKSWAGEN
Model: GOLF
Manufactured From: FEB 1992 To: JUN 1995 
Year of Recall: '98
Type of Report: Vehicle 
Summary:

     Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The rear brake line on the
passenger side was routed too close to the corner of the fuel tank. The
line could be damaged by chafing against the fuel tank. Repeated chafing
could eventually result in a leaking brake line causing diminished
braking in one brake circuit increasing the vehicle's stopping distance.
Dealers will inspect the brake line and replace any damaged lines. Owner
notification is expected to begin September 18, 1998. Owners who take
their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date
and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should
contact VW at 1-800-822-8987. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT
(1-888-327-4236).
