and Procedures Manual.

Engine Exhaust Flap Limited Warranty Extension
Volkswagen has extended the Emissions Control Systems Warranty for engine exhaust flap replacement
under specific conditions to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s original
in-service date, for certain 2009 – 2012 Model Year Volkswagen 2.0 L TDI® Clean Diesel Engine vehicles
with engine codes CBEA, CJAA and CKRA.
This warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
The vehicle’s original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original
purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a “demonstrator” or
“company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.
What is the Problem
Volkswagen has determined that under specific conditions, certain deficiencies affecting the engine
exhaust flap could make the engine exhaust flap susceptible to degraded performance. If this happens,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster may illuminate due to the presence of
specific fault codes caused by a faulty engine exhaust flap. Volkswagen has not identified any vehicle
drivability concerns related to this issue.
Please be aware that other conditions (unrelated to the issue described in this bulletin) may cause the MIL
in the vehicle to illuminate. Customers should be prepared to cover all diagnosis and repair costs for
these other, unrelated conditions.
What does this Warranty Extension Cover
This warranty extension covers only the diagnosis and replacement of the engine exhaust flap.
What is Not Covered Under This Warranty Extension
This warranty extension will not cover:
 Any damage or malfunctions caused by installation of non-EPA or non-CARB certified parts, or

parts that alter the performance of the engine, engine controls, or exhaust system, such as the
installation of engine management components (“chipped” or “tuned” ECMs) not approved by
Volkswagen.
 Other conditions unrelated to the engine exhaust flap that may cause the MIL to illuminate. These
conditions may require repairs that are needed for proper diagnosis of the underlying condition.
Any repairs that are (1) necessary for proper diagnosis of these other conditions or (2) required to
