Warranty Extension for Fuel Injectors
Certain 2011 Model Year Volkswagen
Vehicles with 2.0 TFSI Engine
(Engine Codes CBFA & CCTA)
Dear Volkswagen
Owner:
As part of Volkswagen
’s ongoing commitment to our environment, and in cooperation with the
United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, we are
informing you of our decision to extend your Emissions Control Systems Warranty for fuel
injector replacement under specific conditions to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs
first, from the vehicle's original in-service date. 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.
Certain states have voluntarily adopted California-mandated emissions warranties only for
vehicles equipped to meet California’s Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) emissions
requirements. These vehicles can be identified by inspecting the Vehicle Emission Control
Information Label located under the hood. Because of this, the owner of a vehicle equipped to
meet California’s PZEV emissions requirements living in one of these states may have warranty
rights that exceed the extended warranty offering described in this letter. Please refer to the
warranty information that came with your vehicle for additional details as to whether or not this
applies to your vehicle.
What is the Problem?
Volkswagen
has determined that a faulty fuel injector may cause minor misfire conditions and, in
turn, cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster to illuminate due to
the presence of specific fault codes caused by this component.
Please note that it is highly unlikely that your vehicle will experience an issue with
multiple fuel injectors at the same time.
The MIL is part of your on-board diagnostic system. Please refer to your owner’s manual for
additional information about the MIL. In some locales, an illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp
could cause your vehicle to fail an IM emissions inspection, and your vehicle registration
application could be denied.
Please be aware that other conditions (unrelated to the issue described in this letter) may cause
the MIL in your vehicle to illuminate. Customers should be prepared to cover all diagnosis and
repair costs for these other, unrelated conditions.

What Will Volkswagen
Do?
In our continuing efforts to assure proper performance of Volkswagen
vehicles, your dealer will
diagnose and replace a faulty fuel injector, if necessary, at no cost to you as long as the vehicle
remains within the time and mileage limits of this warranty extension. Please keep this letter with
your Warranty booklet and deliver it to any new owner, along with the owner’s manual.
What Does This Warranty Extension Cover?
This warranty extension covers only the diagnosis and replacement of a faulty fuel injector. And,
should you ever sell the vehicle, this warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent
owners.
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 a faulty fuel injector 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 bring the vehicle’s emission system up to factory specifications
are not covered by this warranty extension.
•
Damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as damage due to an accident,
or vehicle misuse or neglect as well as repairs that are (1) necessary for proper diagnosis
of these other conditions or (2) required to bring the vehicle up to factory specifications are
not covered by this warranty extension.
Warranty Extension Coverage Limitations
The warranty and maintenance information that came with your vehicle contains information on
the limited warranties applicable to your Volkswagen
model. Please read these limited
warranties carefully to determine your warranty rights and obligations, as this information also
applies to the coverage provided to you in this warranty extension.
Lease Vehicles
If you are the lessor and registered owner of the vehicle identified in this warranty extension,
please forward this information immediately via first-class mail to the lessee within ten (10) days
of receipt of this notification.
Have You Changed Your Address or Sold the Vehicle?
If you have, please fill out the enclosed prepaid owner reply card and mail it to us so we can
update our records.
Reimbursement of Expenses
If you have previously paid for replacement of a faulty fuel injector, please refer to the enclosed
form that explains how to request reimbursement. We would be pleased to review your
reimbursement request.
We are pleased to offer this extended emissions warranty and hope that you will continue to be
a member of the Volkswagen
family. Thank you for driving a Volkswagen

Extensión de la garantía para los inyectores de combustible
Algunos vehículos Volkswagen
modelo 2011 con motor TFSI 2.0
(códigos de motor CBFA y CCTA)
Estimado(a) propietario(a) de un vehículo Volkswagen
:
Como parte del continuo compromiso de Volkswagen
con el medio ambiente, y en cooperación
con la Agencia de protección ambiental de Estados Unidos (EPA) y la Junta de Recursos del
Aire de California (CARB), le informamos sobre nuestra decisión de extender la garantía de los
sistemas de control de emisiones para el cambio del inyector de combustible bajo condiciones
específicas a 10 años o 120.000 millas, lo que suceda primero, a partir de la fecha original en la
que el vehículo entró en servicio. Esta fecha se define como el momento en el que el vehículo
se entrega al comprador original o al arrendatario original; o bien, si el vehículo primero entró en
servicio como un vehículo “expositor” o de la “compañía”, la fecha en la que ese vehículo entró
en servicio por primera vez.
Ciertos estados han adoptado voluntariamente las garantías de emisiones que exige California
solo para los vehículos equipados para cumplir con los requisitos de emisiones de los Vehículos
de cero emisiones parciales (PZEV, por sus siglas en inglés) de California. Estos vehículos
pueden identificarse si les inspecciona la etiqueta de información de control de emisiones del
vehículo, que se encuentra debajo del capó. Por este motivo, es posible que el propietario de un
vehículo equipado para cumplir con los requisitos de emisiones de PZEV de California que viva
en uno de estos estados tenga derechos de garantías que superen la oferta de extensión de
garantía que se describe en esta carta. Consulte la información de garantía incluida en su
vehículo para obtener detalles adicionales y saber si lo mencionado se aplica o no a su
vehículo.
¿Cuál es el problema?
Volkswagen
ha determinado que un inyector de combustible defectuoso puede ocasionar fallas
de arranque secundarias y, a su vez, hacer que las luces del indicador de fallas (MIL) en el
tablero de instrumentos se enciendan debido a la presencia de códigos de fallas específicos
originados por este componente.
Tenga en cuenta que es sumamente improbable que su vehículo experimente un
problema con múltiples inyectores de combustible al mismo tiempo.
Las MIL son parte del sistema de diagnóstico a bordo. Consulte el manual del propietario para
obtener información adicional acerca de las MIL. En algunos locales, si las luces del indicador
VW
INJ USA
de fallas están encendidas, es posible que su vehículo no pase la inspección de emisiones
(prueba I/M) y podría rechazarse su solicitud de registro del vehículo.
Tenga en cuenta que otras condiciones (que no están vinculadas con el problema descrito en
esta carta) pueden ocasionar que las MIL de su vehículo se iluminen. Los clientes deben
prepararse para cubrir todos los costos de diagnóstico y reparación originados por dichas
condiciones.
¿Qué hará Volkswagen
?
En nuestros continuos esfuerzos para garantizar el adecuado funcionamiento de los vehículos
Volkswagen
, su concesionario realizará un diagnóstico y cambiará el inyector de combustible
defectuoso, si fuera necesario, sin costo alguno siempre que el vehículo se encuentre dentro de
los límites de tiempo y kilometraje de esta extensión de la garantía. Conserve esta carta con su
folleto de garantía y entréguesela al nuevo dueño junto con el manual del propietario.
¿Qué cubre esta extensión de la garantía?
Esta extensión de la garantía solo cubre el diagnóstico y el cambio de un inyector de
combustible defectuoso. Además, si alguna vez vendiera el vehículo, esta extensión de la
garantía es completamente transferible a los próximos propietarios.
¿Qué excluye esta extensión de la garantía?
Esta extensión de la garantía no cubrirá:
•
Ningún daño o funcionamiento defectuoso causados por la instalación de piezas que no
estén certificadas por la EPA o la CARB, o por piezas que alteren el desempeńo del motor,
los controles del motor o el sistema de escape; como la instalación de componentes de
gestión del motor (ECM “desportillado” o “ajustado”) que no estén aprobados por
Volkswagen
.
•
Otras condiciones no relacionadas con un inyector de combustible defectuoso pueden
ocasionar que las MIL se iluminen. Es posible que estas condiciones requieran que se
realicen reparaciones necesarias para el diagnóstico adecuado de la condición
subyacente. Las reparaciones (1) necesarias para realizar el correcto diagnóstico de estas
otras condiciones o (2) requeridas para que el sistema de emisiones del vehículo cumpla
con las especificaciones de fábrica no están cubiertas por esta extensión de la garantía.
•
Fallas o daños provocados por causas externas, como un accidente, el uso indebido o la
falta de cuidado del vehículo, ni las reparaciones (1) necesarias para realizar el correcto
diagnóstico de estas otras condiciones o (2) requeridas para que el vehículo cumpla con
las especificaciones de fábrica.
Limitaciones de cobertura de la extensión de la garantía
La información sobre garantía y mantenimiento que incluye su vehículo, contiene información
sobre las garantías limitadas que corresponden al modelo de su Volkswagen
. Lea estas
garantías limitadas atentamente para determinar sus derechos y obligaciones de garantías, ya
que esta información también corresponde a la cobertura que se le suministró en esta extensión
de la garantía.
Vehículos arrendados
Si usted es el arrendador y propietario registrado del vehículo identificado en esta extensión de
la garantía, envíe esta información de inmediato al arrendatario por correo de primera clase en
los diez (10) días posteriores a la recepción de esta notificación.
Cambio de dirección o venta del vehículo
Si cambió de dirección o vendió el vehículo, llene la tarjeta adjunta (“Respuesta del propietario”)
y envíela por correo para actualizar sus datos en nuestros registros.
Reembolso de gastos
Si usted pagó anteriormente por el cambio de un inyector de combustible defectuoso, consulte
el formulario adjunto que explica cómo presentar una solicitud de reembolso. Con mucho gusto
revisaremos su solicitud de reembolso.
Nos enorgullece poder ofrecerle esta garantía de emisiones extendida y esperamos que
continúe siendo un miembro de la exclusiva familia Volkswagen
