VW announced a problem with the TRANSPORTER affecting a total of 8,345 vehicles.
The handbrake may not fully engage and a sudden release of the handbrake potentially allowing the vehicle to 'run away' cannot be ruled out. Vehicles built from 05/01/2003 to 06/30/2004 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the likely to be affected vehicles and replace the handbrake lever and the push button.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
WV****7J*4X000817 to WV****7J*4X041434 WV****7J*5X000502 to WV****7J*5X034492 WV****7H*5H000029 to WV****7H*5H000908 WV****7H*4H000001 to WV***7H*4H109541
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest VW dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
