IMPORTANT NOTICE TO DEALERS - FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
This is to inform you of an upcoming Update that will be visible in Elsa and ServiceNet on or about
December 17, 2015.
Please refer to the Elsa campaign/action screen for confirmation of whether the Update applies to each
specific vehicle, and look to Elsa and ServiceNet for additional information and complete repair
instructions.
Consistent with general Volkswagen corporate policy governing Updates, Volkswagen is not notifying
consumers. (Updates differ from recalls and service actions; consumers are notified in writing of recalls
and service actions.) Each vehicle should be completed when it is in to the dealer for maintenance or
any other service visit. Dealer stock vehicles cannot, however, be delivered to consumers until the
Update is completed.
To identify any vehicles in your inventory that are affected by this Update, please run the “New and
CPO Inventory Open Campaign/Action Listing” report from the OMD Web system.
Dealers must ensure that every affected vehicle gets the update before delivery to consumers. Your
effort is integral in reaching the highest quality expectations of Volkswagen customers.
If you have any questions or require additional assistance, please contact Warranty.

Airbag Control Module Software Update
During vehicle startup, the airbag control module may misidentify
engine vibrations and/or vehicle movement due to an overly sensitive
self-test of the rollover sensor. This condition results in DTC B200000
“Control module faulty” being permanently recorded in the airbag
control module, and the airbag warning light coming on in the
instrument cluster.
Updated software installed in production.
